Simone Reed, who was a contestant on the hit show in 2017, attended Teesside Magistrates’ Court today (Tuesday, February 18) accused of a string of offences.
They include assisting an offender, possession of a blade in a public place, and assaulting a person thereby occasioning them actual bodily harm.
It follows an incident at the Peggy Junes Bar on Queen Street on Saturday (February 15), where a violent altercation left three people in hospital with serious injuries.
The 36-year-old appeared alongside two others also charged in connection with the incident.
Carl Wild, 33, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated burglary, two counts of criminal damage, assaulting a person thereby occasioning them actual bodily harm and affray.

Meanwhile, Lee Wild, 37, of Trevose Close in Redcar, was charged with assisting an offender.
All three were remanded in custody, and will next appear at Teesside Crown Court on March 18.
Reed, of Palmer Walk in Eaglescliffe, appeared on Big Brother 18, the show’s penultimate series on Channel 5 before it was axed by the broadcaster.
She only featured on the show – which has since been rebooted by ITV – for a total of 15 days before being evicted through the back door.
The reality TV star also auditioned for The X Factor in 2014.
