<p><em>By Owen Tonks</em></p>
<p><em>Big Brother</em> star Nadia Almada has threatened to commit suicide after a hostile public reaction following her appearance on <em>Ultimate Big Brother</em>.</p>
<p>Transsexual Nadia has admitted she sees no other way out from the rejection she has experienced.</p>
<p>After leaving the <em>Big Brother</em> house to a chorus of boos on Friday Nadia returned home to find her car had been egged and hate mail posted through her door.</p>
<p>She told the <em>Daily Star Sunday</em>: “I want to end it all. I just feel my life isn’t worth living any more.</p>
<p>“I can’t carry on living the way I feel. I’m in the gutter and I’m completely distraught.</p>
<p>“Going back on <em>Big Brother</em> has ruined my life. I was the victim in that house but I was shown to be the villain.</p>
<p>“I’m just gutted. I hate my life so much right now and sometimes ending it all is the only solution.</p>
<p>“I’m at the lowest point I’ve ever been so I’m surrounding myself with friends and family and hoping God will be there for me.</p>
<p>“I was already in a vulnerable place and this has thrown me ­overboard. When this mess is over I just don’t know what I’ll do. I’m ­losing it. I’m emotional. This is the last thing I need in my life.”</p>
<p>Nadia is also considering taking legal action against Channel 4 after the full story of the arguments between her and fellow housemate Coolio were not broadcast, saying: &#8220;I feel betrayed by Channel 4. There was no loyalty from them, no duty of care. They failed to protect me.</p>
<p>“Coolio targeted me on the first night and he wouldn’t leave me alone. He kept asking about my gender status and he humiliated me over it.</p>
<p>“If it had been a racial slur they would have shown it but because it was against a transsexual they edited it out.</p>
<p>“They made it look like I wanted to leave over a pair of shoes but the truth is I was being bullied.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added: “I’m going to speak to Ofcom and I want a public apology from <em>Big Brother</em> over this.</p>
<p>“I will be contacting lawyers and solicitors because I want to take things further.</p>
<p>“I was lured on to the show with them saying it would be a ­celebration. But after this I don’t want to represent <em>Big Brother</em> any more.</p>
<p>“I don’t feel safe to go out. I feel frightened. <em>Big Brother</em> discarded me. This has destroyed me.</p>
<p>“I was the nation’s sweetheart and people embraced me. But now I’m the villain.”</p>

<p><em>By Owen Tonks</em></p>
<p>Wayne Rooney cheated on wife Coleen during her pregnancy with a £1000-a-night prostitute, reports suggest.</p>
<p>The Manchester United and England player is said to have slept with 21-year-old Jennifer Thompson seven times over a period of four months.</p>
<p>Wayne has previously been linked to prostitutes and was taken back by childhood sweetheart Coleen in 2004 after his cheating was exposed.</p>
<p>The footballer has admitted that this will be the end of his marriage, allegedly telling a friend: &#8220;My life is in ruins…I’ve been so stupid. Coleen won’t forgive me this time. She will leave me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Speaking of her relationship with Wayne, prostitute Jennifer Thompson told the <em>Sunday Mirror</em>: “He sent me SIM cards full of text ­messages and spoke to me on Skype using a false name. Whenever we met for sex, it was always in the same hotel.”</p>
<p>Wayne apparently booked prostitute Jennifer through a Manchester based agency and first slept with her in Salford&#8217;s Lowry Hotel when Coleen was five months pregnant.</p>
<p>A friend of Jennifer&#8217;s told the <em>Sunday Mirror</em>: “She couldn’t believe it the first time he booked her. He used a different name so she didn’t know who he really was until she knocked on the hotel room door and he opened it.</p>
<p>“She wasn’t star-struck. She considers what she does to be a profession and she always strives to be very good at it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jennifer later got in trouble with her escort agency when she took bookings directly from Wayne to avoid paying commission. After this the dates turned into longer meetings with Wayne ordering room service.</p>
<p>The friend added: &#8220;She got into trouble with her agency when they found out she was by-passing them and taking bookings from him direct on her own mobile phone and over the internet using Skype.&#8221;</p>
<p>“After he’d had sex with her the first few times, he changed his ­attitude towards her. He said it was no longer just about an hour or two of sex but that he’d grown genuinely fond of her. But he carried on paying her ­whenever they met. It went on for four months.”</p>
<p>Rooney last met up with Thompson in October 2009, shortly before Coleen gave birth in November.</p>
<p>Jennifer&#8217;s friend told the <em>Sunday Mirror</em>: “He suddenly stopped calling Jennifer in October, although she has seen him out in bars and clubs in Manchester since. When that happens, she makes sure she stays well away from him to avoid any awkwardness.”</p>

<p><em>By Owen Tonks</em></p>
<p>Nadia Almada is reportedly a suicide risk following a hostile reaction from the public as a result of her <em>Ultimate Big Brother</em> appearance.</p>
<p>Friend and former<em> Big Brother</em> housemate Marco Sabba posted an open plea for help from Endemol on an internet forum.</p>
<p>On Nadia&#8217;s reaction following her eviction, Marco said: &#8220;I am writing this as a deeply concerned friend of Nadia’s. She is devastated following last night’s eviction and returned home to find her car egged and abusive letters through the door.&#8221;</p>
<p>Transsexual Nadia won the fifth series of the reality show claiming that she originally went into the <em>Big Brother</em> house for acceptance and returned to the show to compete for the title of winner of <em>Ultimate Big Brother</em>.</p>
<p>During her time in the house Nadia was portrayed as fiery character and had numerous arguments with rapper Coolio. On this Marco said: &#8220;It is most concerning that the public was misled in regards to the dispute with Coolio.</p>
<p>&#8220;He made deeply offensive, homophobic comments continuously to her and the other housemates regarding gender and sexuality for many days on end which were not broadcast.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was made to be seen that Coolio left the house after Nadia erratically confronted him about hiding her shoes. This was not the case. Coolio was on his third and final warning from <em>Big Brother</em> about abusive and threatening behaviour.&#8221;</p>
<p>On her breakdown since leaving the house last night, Marco said: &#8220;She feels her life is now ruined and the goodwill built from her earlier stay in the house has been destroyed. I am writing this as a deeply concerned friend in the hope that Endemol will do something to address this, please.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am asking Endemol to help Nadia Almada.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nadia is apparently refusing to talk to Endemol&#8217;s psychologist and is said to have lost all trust in the show&#8217;s producers.<!-- google_ad_section_end --></p>

<p>Konnie Huq and Charlie Brooker have married in a quickie ceremony in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>The <em>Blue Peter</em> presenter and TV critic are said to have chosen Las Vegas to avoid the attention that comes with a showbiz wedding in the UK.</p>
<p>A source told the <em>Daily Mail</em>: &#8220;Charlie didn’t want a big, tacky celebrity wedding because he doesn’t see him and Konnie as a celebrity couple.</p>
<p>&#8220;They are very much in love but when it came down to it, he wanted the wedding to be low-key.</p>
<p>&#8220;He is finding it hard to accept the level of interest in their relationship.</p>
<p>&#8220;If it was up to him, they would lead a totally private life, enjoying playing PlayStation games at home together and eating in.</p>
<p>&#8220;But it is different for Konnie. She is used to all the attention her job brings her and doesn’t mind being in the public eye.&#8221;</p>
<p>Konnie is currently presenting <em>The Xtra Factor</em> on ITV 2.</p>

The Spice Girl is said to be in the process of moving back to the UK and is talking to lawyers in LA about a divorce.

Mel B and husband Stephen Belafonte aren't their normal, smiley selves as they arrive at the Voyeur lounge in West Hollywood. According to reports in the British Sunday press, the couple's three-year marriage is on the rocks, but these pictures show the couple were trying to put on a united front in LA on Saturday night. Before entering the club, a glum-looking Mel was seen cuddling up to a mystery man before heading inside.

<p>Mel B has allegedly split from her film producer husband Stephen Belafonte.</p>
<p>The Spice Girl is said to be in the process of moving back to the UK and is talking to lawyers in LA about a divorce.</p>
<p>Speaking to <em>The Mirror</em>, Stephen said: &#8220;Dude, it&#8217;s over. Mel&#8217;s coming back to the UK soon &#8211; but I won’t be  coming with her. There&#8217;s been problems lately. I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s  happening.&#8221;</p>
<p>A friend of the pop star said: &#8220;They&#8217;ve not been happy for a long time and there&#8217;s been rowing. Mel&#8217;s  been talking about getting out. They&#8217;re still talking to see if things  can be worked out.</p>
<p>&#8220;But she&#8217;s making plans to come back to the UK  on a more permanent basis. Stephen hasn&#8217;t been mentioned as joining her  and has been consulting lawyers.</p>
<p>&#8220;Part of the problem is  jealousy. They are both livid when the other one gets attention from  another person. They constantly want to know where the other one is.  It&#8217;s been an ongoing problem right from the start.&#8221;</p>

<p>Kerry Katona met her latest boyfriend through an online dating service, reports suggest.</p>
<p>The former Atomic Kitten signed up to the website under a false name and began exchanging messages with kick-boxer Scott Gibson.</p>
<p>A source told the <em>News of the World</em>: &#8220;He&#8217;s handsome, muscly and a nice guy. Kerry&#8217;s been joking that Jordan&#8217;s  cage fighter hubby Alex Reid looks like an old man beside Scott.</p>
<p>&#8220;Scott has boyband looks despite being a champion bruiser, whereas at 35 Alex has a bent nose and looks bashed about.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kerry waited a while before revealing her true identity by sending Scott a photo, to which he replied: &#8220;You look a bit like that Kerry Katona!&#8221;</p>
<p>The source added: &#8220;Kerry thought it was brilliant Scott had no idea who she was at first.  After the date she was buzzing. She said they kissed goodnight and it  was electric. She is having a lot of fun at the moment.&#8221;</p>

<p>A source told <em>The Guardian</em>: “<em>Big Brother</em> would instantly become Channel Five‘s biggest asset. If a  deal can be concluded, the challenge will be to prove that there is  still an appetite for the show among the viewing public.”</p>

<p>Josie has won <em>Big Brother</em> 2010 with 77.5% of the vote.</p>
<p>The Bristolian has agreed to re-enter the house for <em>Ultimate Big Brother</em> but revealed that she never expected to win, saying: &#8220;Never want to get your hopes up do you!&#8221;</p>
<p>On her relationship with John James, she said: &#8220;He&#8217;s a bit out of my league!</p>
<p>&#8220;Randy mare, that&#8217;s all I can say. He&#8217;s super handsome isn&#8217;t he!&#8221;</p>
<p>The winner also revealed that she felt down when John James left the house, saying: &#8220;You&#8217;re used to spending that much time with eachother and when they&#8217;re not there&#8230;I got really really down.&#8221;</p>
<p>Josie revealed her plans for the £100,000 prize money saying that she did not plan to keep it all to herself: &#8220;£20,000 to charity and some money for Steve&#8217;s leg if the Government can&#8217;t pull their finger out!&#8221;</p>
<p>Josie has now re-entered the <em>Big Brother</em> house.</p>
