Danniella Westbrook and Christopher Maloney have put their feud behind them.
The formerly close friends hadn't spoken since March 2014 before entering the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house on Wednesday night (07.01.16).
While details of their argument haven't been revealed, it seems the pair are back on good terms after having a heart-to-heart in the bedroom last night.
The scenes will be shown on Friday night's programme (08.01.16).
Christopher is seen saying to Danniella: "We need to talk to get this sorted. What you've heard about what happened is bulls**t."
Danniella then replies: "You should have told me everything yourself. But a lot of time has passed. It's done now and I'm out the other side."
The pair then gave each other a hug.
Christopher had previously told fellow housemate Gemma Collins that he really missed Danniella.
He said: "I hope we can sort it out cause I do miss her, greatly. We got our dogs together and everything! It's not like I've done anything
"As far as I'm concerned, I know vaguely what it's over but it's not like I've done anything."
While it seems Christopher and Danniella have moved on from their tiff, the actress' former 'EastEnders' co-star Shaun Williamson is less than convinced by the show of forgiveness.
During a chat on 'Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side', Shaun said: "I know Danniella and I know what she's like. She might forgive Christopher but she won't forget."

Lydia Bright says she's "grumpy" in the morning.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star has admitted she's never in a very good mood when she wakes up and prefers to do most of her tasks - including working out - in the early evening.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she said: "I'm more of an evening person. I'm not a very good morning person.
"I would just go to the gym grumpy and moaning if I had to go there in the morning. I'm more of like an evening person because I like going to the gym with my friends after work."
And, although she might leave her workout to the nighttime, the blonde beauty, 25, makes sure she follows a healthy diet from the moment she climbs out of bed in the morning.
She explained: "I do have a healthy diet but I'm not like regimented and really strict. I naturally quite like eating healthily. I don't enjoy junk food."
But when Lydia does over-indulge from time-to-time, she finds the best way to drop the pounds is to do some zumba.
She said: "We absolutely love zumba. We've been doing for like a year now. It's something me and my mum [Debbie Douglas] do together and it's just a great way to get fit, socialise, hang out together and just have fun."
Lydia and Debbie are ambassadors for the official 'Zumba' DVD, out now and on Digital HD through Universal Pictures.

Stevi Ritchie "regrets" taking part in 'Celebrity Big Brother' with Chloe-Jasmine Wichello.
The former 'X Factor' star "loved" being on the fly-on-the-wall show but thinks it was a mistake entering such a "toxic" environment with his fiancée.
He said: "As soon as you walk in, it's a pressure cooker; your emotions are heightened and there's nowhere to let off steam. The smallest things turn into huge arguments and you've got so much time to stew over it. I loved the experience but it was a toxic atmosphere - series 16 was one of the bitchiest yet. I regret going in there as a couple.
"Chloe and I knew it would make or break our relationship - we made it through but there were big ups and downs."
Stevi found it tough not being able to get intimate with Chloe while they were in the house, but admitted they did "have a fumble" when the lights went down.
Writing in his guest column for Closer magazine, he said: "It was tough not being able to make love to my woman. We missed that...
"Chloe and I would have a fumble under the covers at night."
And the reality star found it very hard not having any contact with his eight-year-old daughter Summer.
He said: "I missed Summer more than anything. It was so hard being away from her."

The 'Strictly Come Dancing' professional stunned her 'Celebrity Big Brother' housemates earlier this evening (07.01.15) when she announced that she and boyfriend Ben Cohen - who has twin daughters Harriette and Isabelle, seven, with estranged wife Abigail - are expecting their first child together.
She told the group: "There was something [that] happened in my life before I came into the house over Christmas ... and obviously I thought it's very private news, you know but because we are living as one family now and everybody is sort of supporting one another now, it happened to be that I found that my boyfriend and I are going to have a little one."
Kristina was then congratulated and hugged by her housemates, prompting her to become tearful.
She added: "Well I found out over Christmas. Thank you guys, I just didn't know how to break it, what to say, when to say, it played on my mind and I wanted everyone to hear."
Asked by Stephanie Davis how far along in her pregnancy she was, she said she is "almost three months".
A spokesperson for the 38-year-old Russian said the couple were "surprised and delighted" by the news.
The representative said: "Kristina and Ben were surprised and delighted to find out that she was pregnant shortly before she entered the Big Brother house. Kristina is well and looking forward to being a mum."

Kristina Rihanoff, Nancy Dell'Olio, and Winston McKenzie will face eviction from the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house tomorrow (08.01.16).
The trio found themselves nominated for the first public vote after Jeremy McConnell, Scotty T and Stephanie Davis were asked to make one "killer" choice as reward for winning an earlier task and freeing Danniella Westbrook, Darren Day and John Partridge from the barren room.
After being called to the diary room, Stephanie nominated Kristina, explaining the professional dancer had been "angry" with her for keeping her awake.
She said: "Because me and Jezza are next to each other and laughing all night, and we kept her up. She was angry at both of us as we kept her up."
Kristina later insisted to David Gest she wasn't upset about being nominated and didn't want the former 'Hollyoaks' actress to feel uncomfortable around her.
She said: "I don't want it to be awkward, she's a lovely girl."
Meanwhile, Jeremy opted for Nancy because she intimidates him.
He said: "I find she can be a bit controlling when we're having a laugh. A bit intimidating."
However, the 54-year-old star admitted she doesn't understand why people find her intimidating.
She told Big Brother: "Scotty T would never nominate me. I do understand, it was the less hard choice for him to make and he gave good reason as he is intimidated by me. He's not the only one to be intimidated, the entire world are. I don't know why people are intimidated by me, it's a fact."
Scotty selected the politician because he finds him greedy.
He said: "Every time I cook he can't wait for everyone else to have his food, he's always 'gimme it, gimme it.' "
The eviction will take place live during tomorrow night's show.

Lesley Nicol has confirmed "there is talk" of a 'Downton Abbey' movie following the end of the show last month.
The 62-year-old actress - who was known for playing Mrs Patmore in the ITV period drama - believes, although the programme aired its final ever episode over the festive season, writer Julian Fellowes has left the doors to the Yorkshire estate open slightly in case he wants to make a film about the aristocratic Crawley family in the future.
Speaking on 'This Morning,' Lesley said: "There is talk of film. He's left it open but it's not like it couldn't carry on."
However, Lesley believes Julian's busy work schedule could delay the chances of a blockbuster but thinks he's likely to take on the project one day because he's a "workaholic."
She added: "It's just whether he has the time, he's busy doing other things. But he's a workaholic so who knows?"
Meanwhile, it wasn't just fans who wept into their tissues when the finale aired on Christmas Day as the cast were also an emotional wreck but tried to cheer each other up by presenting one other gifts on the last day of filming.
Lesley explained: "It was like the last day of school, we were all a bit giddy and we gave each other presents and then we all got a bit emotional."
Meanwhile, although the show has come to an end after five years on screen, the programme's success just keeps on going as 'Downton Abbey' has been nominated for Best Drama at this year's National Television Awards (NTAs).
The popular show will go head-to-head with 'Doctor Who,' 'Casualty' and 'Broadchurch' for the gong at the ceremony at London's O2 on January 20.

Lauren Goodger has been contacted by Playboy.
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star, who recently dropped an impressive four stone in weight and five dress sizes, has claimed Hugh Hefner's iconic lads' mag has reached out to her in a bid to arrange a sexy shoot.
She explained: "I have been contacted by Playboy. Nothing's set in stone, but I've been contacted by a Playboy photographer. I will definitely arrange something. Playboy's not going to be around forever and for me to be in one of the last issues would be an amazing achievement.
"A lot of people like Carmen Electra, Katie Price, Kelly Brook have done it and they look amazing."
And the brunette beauty, 29, from Essex, believes getting a huge spread in the cheeky monthly publication will boost her chances of carving a name for herself across the pond.
She told the MailOnline: "I would also love to go out to America. I want to get that sorted before the summer. I think it would help get my name over there a little bit."
But it's not just in America she wants to boost her profile, as she's also keen to get as many nude shoots under her belt in the UK while she's still young and free.
She said recently: "I'd definitely be up for nude shoots now while I'm young and haven't got kids."

Jonathan Cheban reportedly asked 'Celebrity Big Brother' bosses if he could have "exotic food" brought in to him.
Producers for the Channel 5 show are said to be struggling to keep up with the 41-year-old PR guru's "off the scale" diva demands during his short stint so far in the infamous house.
A source told the MailOnline: "Jonathan's diva demands are off the scale. For the launch show, he requested that he be driven to the eye in a black Rolls-Royce.
"And he also demanded that he could order in food from restaurants Roka, Nobu, Zuma and Mandarin Oriental.
"All of this after he was flown over by show producers in a private jet from the States! They're the biggest demands 'Celebrity Big Brother' has ever encountered."
However, Jonathan's outrageous request are hardly surprising considering he's used to a life of luxury in the US and was reportedly offered a large sum - one of the highest dished out during this series - to appear on the show.
But Jonathan - who is best friends with reality TV queen Kim Kardashian West - isn't the only celebrity currently appearing in the house who has made some bizarre requests.
A source said recently: "One celeb thought the show is only filmed in the daytime and so they could pop off to a hotel at night ... He told producers he couldn't survive on sludge and beans and wanted to come to the Diary Room in secret and have burger and chips without anyone knowing."
Meanwhile, the first celebrity to be given the boot will be announced on Friday (08.01.16) during the live episode.

'Celebrity Big Brother's Jeremy McConnell, Scotty T and Stephanie Davis have to nominate three of their fellow housemates to face the first live eviction tomorrow.
The actress, reality TV star and handsome model have been hit with the difficult tasks of choosing the first three celebrities to face the chop at the end of the week as a reward for successfully unlocking Danniella Westbrook, Darren Day and John Partridge from the barren room.
After the trio, who have been dubbed "the most annoying housemates" by the rest of the group, dug through 1,500 keys to find the correct one to unlock their fellow pals, they were told to go to the Diary Room at once to hear their prize.
Big Brother said: "Jeremy, Stephanie and Scotty T. Congratulations! Today you have successfully liberated the Big Brother House. It has been unboxed.
"But not only that, you liberated John, Darren and Danniella from their box. You must be feeling pretty happy?"
Sensing the conniving tone in Big Brother's voice, axed 'Hollyoaks' star Stephanie, 23, replied with concern: "Yeah, but not from the sound of your voice I'm not."
Big Brother added: "Just imagine how happy they'll be when they find out that because you completed the task, they won't have to nominate this week.
"You three are going to make a killer nomination and each housemate you choose will face the public vote."
The celebrity to be given the boot, after just three days in the infamous house, following the least amount of public votes will be announced during Friday night's (08.01.16) episode.
Danniella, John and Darren are immune from the vote.
