Nicola McLean has taken a swipe at the editing of Celebrity Big Brother, claiming that taking part was the "worst decision" of her life.
The glamour model described her experience on the reality show as "horrible" and advised This Morning host Holly Willoughby to never take part.

"It was horrible in there, everything was horrible. Honestly, it was probably the worst decision of my life to go in there," she told Willoughby and Eamonn Holmes.
"Holly, please take my advice, not a lot of people take my advice, but go and eat bugs in the jungle [on I'm a Celebrity] - do not go into the Big Brother house!"
She added: "There were good points and I made some really good friends in there, but the editing is very clever which we will talk about after this..."
McLean was evicted in the semi-final of the Channel 5 series.
I watched this earlier and I thought it was a bit of an OTT reaction, it wasn't exactly a career ruiner and I hope Holly doesn't not go in BB now because of Nicola's words. :nono:

She can't really blame the editing when everyone already hated her before she went in anyway.

FFS, Who does this bitch think she is?
At the end of the day, I've said it once and I'll say it again - She bullied Sir David Van Day in the jungle, so she already showed herself up to being a complete ***** 4 Years ago, nothing Big Brother did in terms of editing has made that worse.

Holly Willabooby would never go in anyway. Why would she have to? She could be the host instead!
Nicola wasn't that bad in BB. But not many people were going to win against a Loose Woman would they? And immediately when you see 3 people against 1 person that 1 person will always gain sympathy whether right or wrong.
Anyway I bet Nicola doesn't regret the pay packet for participating in BB ;)
No one from the series deserves "hate". The show is over now. Nicola will be forgotten about by next month.

Yep. If anything she was more likable in CBB than the jungle

She has every right to blame the editing when we don't have live feed.
Hey BB, if you don't wanna get accused of bad editing, then bring back LIVE FEED!

Er, because she WANTS to?
It's not all about having to.

Exactly, she really wants to go in and I hope Nicola hasn't persuaded her not to sign up. She wouldn't do it for the money, she would do it for the experience and I bet she would be a brill housemate and probably win it.

She'd have to accuse every show she has been on of bad editing then since she is a **** on everything.

Holly would be amazing, I hope she wouldn't be secretly horrible like Natalie. I wanted Natalie to be nice. :(
And now, I liked Nicola but this is a bit silly. She should have known this was going to be the case if she's such a Big Brother fan. Happens to many people in there, and she knew full well she was disliked beforehand.

I doubt Channel 5 and Endemol would ever edit Holly Willoughby badly if she was ever to go in, which sadly I think is pretty unlikely. It'd be a career ruiner and the difference between ruining a career like Nicola McClean's and Holly Willoughby's are quite quite significant, I don't think they'd take that risk, especially if they were lucky enough to get someone as big as her to go in. They'd probably actually champion her for the win to be quite honest.
Whether Holly would realise that though, who knows, I mean it'd take a fairly big headed person to think that about themselves. And Holly doesn't come across as having the personality of the twins...
Would love her to go in though. Jonathan Ross, Holly and that American dude who said he likes the show and 'wants to take part'. Imagine that :amazed:

She was talking to the host of the show xD... she wasn't exactly going to say 'Why the **** would I want to do that **** show?' was she now? :p
If she does want to do it, then I'd be thrilled, the thought of Holly, Jonathan Ross and NPH all 'wanting' to do CBB is really appealing, will all three do it? No ****ing way.
Oh and Nicola came across WAY better than in the jungle.

I thought she was a cold, calculating, nasty cow and if she thought her editing was dodgy then maybe she needs to take a look in the mirror.
She's just a nasty bitch. I couldn't stand her from the get go. :bored:

No one forced her to stay: she could have walked out if she found it all so horrible. Crying over spilt milk if you ask me.

She can still not like it and want to wait it out so she's at least paid for it...

I would like her to be a bit more specific about what she thinks they edited badly, just because I'm nosy

She said on Twitter before that Pantsgate was edited in bias for Denise, making out that it was much worse than what was aired.

I'm inclined to believe that actually from other stuff we heard, like the Twins saying she did it twice and also that it got so bad they needed to be separated and that.
I know the editing is inevitable but a fairer account would be best, I hate feeling like they're trying to push someone on us

it couldn't have been much worse tbh....how nicola, micheal and the twins got all the flack i will never know
I liked her more on IAC but she wasnt that bad on CBB ..she was hardly Jade Goody (2nd time round)

She can't really blame the editing when everyone already hated her before she went in anyway.
I think this was the trouble many had a preconceived idea of her but tbh I didnt mind her once Natalie left. I felt that she was right in her outburst re pantsgate. I think everyone has the right to try and change and I am sorry that she is getting flack once again. I had preconceived ideas of two others when they went in, I thought they were great but I changed my mind as time went on. These two were Natalie and Denise.

Lol. Advised Holly not to take part? Well, Nicola love Holly is a presenter and actually earns her money through a job. It's only a few select people such as yourself who make a "living" from these silly shows.
As a self confessed fan of Big Brother surely she knew exactly what she was getting into. But TBH, I'm fed up of everyone using editing as the excuse for their plain lack of self respect. Anything else Denise did I hardly think it was big enough to warrant a grown woman throwing a tantrum that even a 5 year old has grown out of.

I loathed her on IAC especially how she treated DVD. I honestly thought BB gave her pretty good edits.

I feel really sorry for her re all the zelebs taking Denise's side but she should be grateful they asked her. I think it has done wonders for her profile. The Daily Fail would refer to her as Peter and Amy's friend before.

She wasn't even badly edited tbh....

Obviously doesn't like that we saw her temper tantrum showing what childish, immature, little woman she is.

Correct...and they just hate her even more now. As for Willoughby, no way will she go in bb or the jungle.....unlike McLean, she has a career to protect. :spin:

Wonders for her profile? lol. And I didn't even KNOW she was a pal of Peter or Amy's.

If it was that horrible: she'd have sacrificed the money: unless of course: she's desperate for a few grand. Clearly money is more important to her than her own happiness.
Materialistic bitch - and a moaning faced one at that.

That's a weird attitude to have.
In the real world, if she knows she's going to get a good sum when she's out, but she's not having the best of times for a couple of weeks she's not going to just leave. Something to aim towards to count the days down if you will...

Nowt weird about it all at.
If she found it that horrible, as horrible as she's making out now, she must be desperate for the money if she put herself through all that suffering if she didn't NEED to. Unless of course: she's bleating now just to get some more exposure. ;)
