And yes, of course they're likely to get Dr Pam to say on national TV 'this woman is likely to kill herself. Stay tuned for tomorrows HLs everyone!'

..I would hope that BB and psychologists/maybe her own psychologist..?...have not only okayed her to go on but are also monitoring her closely while she's there which is only one week so a very 'controlled and minimal risk..'....but I think for her or others who have suffered mental illnesses through their lives, the 'rejection' of not being able to do things because of being stigmatised by their illness could be very detrimental as well ..some of the children I have worked with have had mental illnesses diagnosed and the feeling that 'they can't' because of the label of their diagnosis makes them hate that diagnosis and who they are and prevents them from understanding it so disables with being able to try to control it with any help needed....any worrying 'signs' of her time in the house if that were to happen then obviously should be stepped in with straight away with BB....

I can't stand Nikki and wished she had not been brought back for what feels like the millionth time. However, unless she is deemed unsafe to herself or the community, there is no reason she cannot continue with her life and her work, which on this occasion is appearing on big brother.

100% agree. I've gotten no entertainment from her so far but to say she can't take part because of past and managed issues. Who are they, who ARE... etc
