TEMPTING Fortune star Imani breaks silence after explosive clash – and she’s got no regrets.
The reality star, who ruffled feathers on the gruelling survival show, has hit back after fans accused her of being a “plant” and stirring up drama on purpose.
Speaking about the fiery clash that left viewers stunned, Imani branded the experience “horrific” and revealed what really went down behind the scenes.
The controversial contestant sparked chaos when she clashed with co-stars Vicki and Sam over her carefree attitude to splashing the prize pot on luxuries.
And she wasted no time proving her point, forking out a whopping £1,200 for a comfy bed on the very first night.
But despite becoming public enemy number one, Imani insists she wouldn’t change a thing.
Imani – whose mum appeared on Big Brother in 2017 – has finally hit back after last night’s fiery showdown on Tempting Fortune – and she’s making no apologies.
She told the Mirror: “I knew I wasn’t going to be popular – but I didn’t care.
“If someone ruffles my feathers, I ruffle back 10 times harder.”
She added: “I have no regrets about that. I wish I’d actually spent more, to be honest.”
And it looks like the drama is only just getting started.
Imani teased: “That was just the tip of the iceberg.

This comes after Channel 4 viewers were convinced Imani may be upping the drama because she’s a show “plant”.
One wrote: “Imani MUST be a plant. No real person who felt as entitled as her would sign up for this.”
“Nah this Imani has to be a plant,” a second said.
A third commented: “Imani is a plant just there to cause kick offs,” while a fourth added: “Imani is a plant.”
Imani, who is a fashion blogger, admitted before the show that she never likes denying herself a chance at joy and thinks life is all about experiences.
But this isn’t her first TV experience as she has also appeared on a dating show called Meet The Parents nearly ten years ago, hosted by Holly Willoughby.
Imani revealed: “It was kind of like Blind Date but with your parents talking to the guy. It was absolutely hilarious, amazing.
“I didn’t end up getting the date with the guy, which I was fuming about because I just like to win.
“I didn’t really like him but I thought it would be fun to win the date.”
Tempting Fortune, set on the Malaysian island of Langkawi, sees ordinary people trek across a remote location in a bid to win a cut of the £300,000 jackpot.
However, they are tempted along the way with some of life’s best luxuries.
If any of the group succumbs to temptation, the price of the luxury is deducted from the prize pot.
Tempting Fortune, hosted by Paddy McGuinness, airs Sundays at 9pm on Channel 4.
