I WAS CLOSE TO A RELAPSE
Paul tells of booze hell in house
EVICTED Brandi Glanville says it was tough to watch Sarah Harding’s antics in CBB – because it brought back painful memories of her marriage breakdown.
Fans have seen Girls Aloud star Sarah couple up with Chad Johnson despite having a boyfriend.
Eight years ago Brandi split from husband Eddie Cibrian amid rumours he had enjoyed a secret fling with country singer LeAnn Rimes. Asked if it was difficult to watch Sarah in the house, Brandi said: “Yes it was.”
She added: “It definitely brought up old feelings for me. It did bring up emotions that I couldn’t control.”
While in the house Brandi challenged Chad about his relationship with Sarah last week.
She told him: “I was cheated on and it f***ing sucked.” Brandi also spoke out about Sam Thompson, who is getting close to both Amelia Lily and Jemma Lucy.
She said: “All he does is flirt with Jemma constantly yet Amelia’s his girl. He’s playing every single one in there.”
Brandi is convinced that Jemma is keen to stop Sam and Amelia getting together.
She added: “There is some c**k blocking going on there.” STEPHEN
Bear is in talks to return to the house to cause chaos. Last year’s winner, regarded as the show’s most controversial contestant ever, wants to liven up the series “like a hurricane”. The former Ex On The Beach star, 27, who is dating another former CBB champ Charlotte Crosby, said: “I could be going in Celeb Big Brother any day now so watch this space.”

Big Brother with changing his life. He added: “This was my chance to show I could overcome my demons, and the fact is I did.
“And I did it with booze and people being drunk out of their heads in front of me. I was able to stay well.
“The longer it went on and I wasn’t having a drink, it empowered me.
“Seeing how drink changed the others made me want to stay sober even more.
“I wanted to be the real Paul. It takes time for people to realise that I am me – I am over the top, extrovert.
“All I can say is thank you for giving me a second chance.” Housemate Sarah Harding, 35, has also battled booze issues in the past and Paul claims she asked him for advice.
He said: “She made out she was on my level.
“But she would pretend she was having an orange juice when she was holding about four different cans of booze, a white wine and a champagne all in her two hands.
“It made me think ‘why are you making out you’re in recovery or doing well?’ Just be upfront about it. It annoyed me.”
Paul added: “She’s lovely in the day then she has a drink and she’s an absolute nightmare. She cannot handle it. She’s just an absolute nightmare and a horrible person.”
