The fiery housemates came to blows after Chanelle spilled some sun tan lotion leaving Lotan enraged.
When all seemed to have calmed down, the 24-year-old was heard apologising whilst lying in bed with Raph Korine.
However, she clearly wasn't over it, as she pointed out that when Lotan spread chocolate over other people's belongings, nothing was said.
As goes with Big Brother, an intensely bitter argument broke out as the pair hurled insults at each other.

Things became nasty however when Lotan targeted Chanelle's intelligence by suggesting the only words she knows are swear words.
Naturally, feisty Chanelle burst out of her bed clearly wound up by the 28-year-old's comments.
As the pair moved closer to each other, it was down to the other housemates to split them up, with Raph throwing himself on Chanelle to pin her to the wall.
This comes just days after she was almost axed from the show after an extremely heated argument with Kayleigh Morris.

The confrontation saw the fiery Manchester housemate throw Kayleigh's glass off the table whilst saying she would "smash her f***ing face in".
Whilst Kayleigh was removed from the show, Chanelle was just given a formal warning over the incident.
