REALITY Big Brother star slams show bosses for
I once walked in on someone having sex with James Blunt in the foyer of my hotel room at Chateau Marmont. Gossipy Lily Allen makes an extraordinary claim... We had no idea James was that interesting though. I showed up to a screen test and there was a push-up bra and two chicken cutlets. I told them to just totally eff off. The Equaliser actress Chloe Grace Moretz, who dated Brooklyn Beckham, is no pushover when it comes to push-ups! BIG Brother star Rebecca Jane says she fears for this year’s contestants after her own stint on the show left her suicidal.
Rebecca, 33, claims bosses did not support her emotionally when she got death threats.
And she warned them to take extra care of Corrie star Ryan Thomas, 34, and ex-emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett, 35, in the wake of their controversial bust-up.
Rebecca said: “Roxanne may have done something stupid but she still needs protecting.
“I worry how much of Ryan’s distress we haven’t seen either. Are show bosses editing out his lowest moments to make themselves look better?”
Roxanne sensationally accused Ryan of punching her last month – later apologising when footage showed he was just play-fighting.
She was bombarded with death threats from trolls and traumatised Ryan has been in tears on the programme.
Feud
Rebecca told how she suffered anxiety after coming under a barrage of abuse when she was evicted from last year’s show. Pal and Love Island star Sophie Gradon helped her through her breakdown. But Rebecca was left devastated when Sophie killed herself in June aged 32 after battling her own demons. Rebecca said: “I know Sophie’s anxiety was 100 per cent heightened by appearing on reality TV and she really struggled with trolls. “I’m one of very few people who understands just how anxious an experience it is. “I should have been stopped from going into the house. I’ve never known anxiety like it. I was a complete and utter state. I could barely leave the house when I got home. “It wasn’t until I spoke to other people who’d been in the house that I realised it’s normal to feel like this when taking part in a reality TV show. “Ryan is going to struggle when he comes out. He is going to have a real big problem with trusting people, too. “Reality TV clouds your judgment of people and messes with your head. “I talked to the producers openly and they sold me the programme almost on the fact they were going to look after my mental health.
“They say their aftercare system is fantastic and how proud they are of it. It’s nonsense.
“They told me I’d be under private mental health care for a year.”
Mum-of-two Rebecca, from Clitheroe, Lancs, got death threats following a feud with model Chanelle Mccleary during her stint on the Channel 5 show.
She claims producers failed to show footage of Chanelle befriending her before slating her to other contestants.
The pair were sent back to the house to have it out in front of the cameras after they were evicted.
Rebecca says she received more than 35,000 abusive tweets in one night as a result.
She said: “The people I trusted and liked the most in the house turned out to be the people who were saying stuff about me behind my back. The producers put Chanelle and me back in the house on purpose because they knew we’d kick off.
“I had a lot of people on my side but also had people telling me I should die, sending me death threats and calling me every name under the sun.”
Rebecca was so upset she almost missed the show’s final. And she needed the help of the show’s psychiatrist to go on stage.
Crying
She said: “I was told I’d been put in a separate hotel from my housemates because no one liked me. I was devastated.
“My faith in people had been lost. I spent a solid 24 hours crying my eyes out.
“My agent told the care team I wouldn’t go to the final because I’d been affected so badly mentally by the whole thing. They weren’t interested and they didn’t ring me. When I
