BIG BROTHER girl Lesley Sanderson is the victim of an alleged rape, it was revealed today.

Lesley, 18, from Skelmanthorpe, has told police she was raped in a hotel room by a man after a date.

She has waived her right of anonymity to talk about the alleged attack in a Leeds hotel.

Lesley declared: "Big Brother has ruined my life.


"I wish I had never done it."


She revealed how, before the alleged rape, she had been:


* Glassed and kicked in clubs


* Verbally abused


* Constantly hassled by men.


Her mother Heather confirmed to the Examiner today that Lesley had left home after a bust-up.


Mrs Sanderson said: "All of this is extremely upsetting and worrying.


"I haven't seen her recently, but know what she's been doing through relatives."


Lesley said the alleged rape was the last in a series of "nasty events" she has endured since appearing in the programme over the summer.


Producers had deliberately portrayed her in a poor light.


The alleged rape reportedly happened last month when she was attacked by a man in his 20s at the Golden Lion Hotel in Leeds city centre.
