MY SPELL IN HELL

BB Mary sleeps rough

FORMER Big Brother contestant Mary O’Leary is penniless and living rough on the street.

Scary Mary, as she became known during last summer’s show, has spent the cash she made from the show.

And after being turfed out of her rented flat she’s now homeless too.

Last night we found devastated Mary, who claims to be a white witch, on a park bench in North London.

Nothing

She said: “I’ve been left with nothing and have nowhere to go.

“I don’t have the money to even know where I am going to stay tonight.”

Following her BB appearance Mary has struggled to find work, despite a string of acting auditions. She was the first housemate to be evicted and cashed in by telling us about her time in the house.

The 31 year-old also claimed bizarrely that she once romped with an alien.

Her desperate situation reached breaking point last week when her flatmate locked her out.

She put all Mary’s belongings into black bin-liners – and shut the door on her.

Mary, originally from Dublin, said: “I can’t believe I’ve been left in this situation.

“I’ve got absolutely no money. I made a bit from Big Brother but now I’ve got nothing.

“I spent my remaining £1,500 on rent, a deposit and bills but then I was locked out.

“I can’t bear the thought of living rough on the streets but I have no choice.

“My mum back home in Ireland has died so I can’t go back there.

“I don’t even have enough money to get there anyway. As for trying to be an actress, what can I do?

“Now I’m homeless it makes it doubly hard trying to attend castings and auditions.

“I need to look my best and be in a good frame of mind but I can’t like this, can I?

“I was hoping to go to Los Angeles but without somewhere to live all that has been thrown into jeopardy.”

Sleep

On Friday Mary, who once worked as a massage girl called Maria, found a good Samaritan who let her sleep on his floor.

She said: “I really don’t know what I’m going to do.

“People don’t seem to realise being a contestant on Big Brother is a fleeting glimpse into the world of celebrity.

“And that’s all it is. Now I’ve been left with nothing.”

She was only on Big Brother for a week, so that it is not very long to make long-lasting friendships.

Sad to hear but she could try putting the acting ambitions on the shelf for a while and get a proper job. What did she do before Big Brother?

It's not as though she can't get a job, surely. It's probably cos she hasn't found a job to her standards.
She needs to swallow her pride and sort herself out.

Although it's never nice to see, I agree with Fangz, in that if it meant the difference from sleeping on the streets or getting a roof over my head, I'd apply for any job going, even slightly disgusting ones if it meant that I would have a better future for myself! This is what Mary should be doing in my opinion!

You dont like Mary, but you like Pete. Petes scarier..
Lolz

People on Big Brother ARE nice, but she didnt have many friends.
I think if it was Craig one of team Saskia would have put him up.
I just reckon Mary was a bit of a loner during her time.

Good luck Mary. Hope your ok

Surely one of the BB lot owe it to her to put her up for a while?

Its the least they can do.........

Very sad news.

Despite her unpopularity on the discussion boards, I thought of Mary as one of the most decent people to ever enter into the UK's most famous house.

I hope Mary is OK & I wish her well for the future.

I'm not the biggest fan of Mary but i really do feel sorry for - but as Fangz said she can get a job - she may think shes too good for anything - so its really up to her

I liked Mary right from the start, even before i liked kemal.
I had been fascinated by witchcraft for about two years before BB6, and wanted her to do well in Big Brother. She likes Kemal too, and she thinks like a Kemalite. I'd been wondering whatever happened to her and this is really sad. I hope she's gonna be OK.:sad:
