Celebrity Big Brother 2015: Katie Hopkins has her own private bedroom

Katie Hopkins has a private bedroom on Celebrity Big Brother 2015, it’s been revealed.


The celebrity housemate, thought to be getting over £400,000 for her stint, is sleeping in a private quarters.

In last night’s show we saw Katie open up to her fellow housemates about having epilepsy, that started when she was twenty.

She told Perez Hilton that she takes “loads”medication to control it but it still disrupts her sleep.

“It’s a bit broken up. Wake up, go back to sleep wake up. Go back to sleep wake up,” Katie explained.

The former Apprentice candidate told how her condition ‘just came on’ when she was younger and didn’t come about from trauma, saying that she had part of her brain “missing”.

Katie’s not the first housemate to get their own bed with former CBB housemates Latoya Jackson and Pamela Anderson also getting separate rooms for the night.

..I guess that it's fair enough because it's for medical reasons...

[Jake.]

That's fair enough in all honesty

[Rob!]

No issue with this whatsoever as long as that's all that goes on with this private room.

[LukeB]

That's fair tbh.

[sampvt]

Totally fair IMO. The queen needs her rest anyway as she needs to keep us all informed via her column and needs to keep her strength up in order to keep the others in line.

[Josy]

Knew this the other night on LF when they were choosing the beds.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

She did state she suffers with night time seizures so I have no problem with her having her own bed as it must be humiliating to have not only the housemates but millions watching.

Sleep deprivation also brings on seizures in many with epilepsy so its totally understandable.

[Niamh.]

So when she was in the Jungle in 2007, what were her sleeping arrangements out of curiosity?

[Denver]

Maybe they wasnt that regular?

[Niamh.]

Well she reckons she's been getting them since she was 20 :shrug:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Well she reckons she's been getting them since she was 20 :shrug:

The condition is unpredictable and can flare up throuout various times of people lives.

People often get used to the medication aswell and have to change so maybe in 2007 it was more controlled than it is now.

[Jarrod]

This is good of them to recognize her needs and give her a room of her own.

[Jamesy]

Fair enough she has her own room. As long as she doesn't get any other privileges that aren't to do with her medical conditions then it's totally fine.

Good care by C5 too.

excuses excuses, sorry but I don't believe that this is why she's been given a private room. I believe there were three reasons for it 1. She probably had it as a condition of going in there 2. To alienate her from her HMs to further her "baddie" image with them and 3. To annoy the viewers

They are not excuses they are facts about epilepsy.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

The queen

...

[Niamh.]

I know about epilepsy, my niece and my nephew both had it ( I say had because my nephew seems to have grown out of it and my niece who had very severe epilepsy had brain surgery last year which seems to have cured her, fingers crossed) I just don't happen to believe katie when she says she has it

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Then you can see how unpredictable it is then.

That's fine its your opinion but the fact is she does have a medical condition that affects her daily life and if someone does suffer night time seizures then they should be entitled to special treatment to make them as comfortable as possible.

Like I said aswel sleep deprivation is a trigger in people with epilepsy so if shes being kept awake in the bedroom she is being put at risk and show bosses cannot risk that so tbh it was probably more their decision to give her a private room.

I don't mean to give you a lesson about epilepsy but you cant just say someone is lying about having a medical condition lol why would she lie about having epilepsy?

[Niamh.]

So she can have a private room........... and i don't believe she lied to the producers just to her fellow HMs and us and why can't I say I think it's a lie if I do think it's a lie? I think she lies on a daily basis as part of her job so why not to get herself a private room as well?

Ok so you think shes lying and doesn't have epilepsy.

Fair enough.

[Niamh.]

Ok so you think shes lying and doesn't have epilepsy.

Fair enough.

I do.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I do.

Really though?

You 100% believe Katie has never suffered a seizure and has not been diagnosed with epilepsy?

[sampvt]

I cant see her lying about anything as important as that. I believe she is telling the truth and she deserves her own room even if there are disbelievers amongst us. I am sure Niamh will post some kind of truth so we can all be as informed as she is.

[Niamh.]

Really though?

Yes I think she might be lying about that, why is it not ok for me to think that but it is ok for me to think she lies in all the horrible bile she spews to further her "career"?

Does she drive a car I wonder? Because she wouldn't be able to do that if she was epileptic (unless she hadn't had a seizure for over a year I think

People with epilepsy are allowed to drive we aren't all spastics.

Whats next telling people they cant enter a night club because they have flashing lights?

Katie has been talking about her epilepsy as early as 2009 and was thrown out of the army for not disclosing her condition.

In an interview 6 years ago this is what was written "But while daytime seizures have mostly been under control for the past nine years, she has suffered sleep seizures which occur as she falls into and emerges from a deep sleep.""

"'After a few seconds I come round but often I have fallen out of bed. And I usually bite the sides of my tongue while I fit which is painful and causes ulcers. I haven't had a full night's sleep in years as a result
"

Katies seizures seem to be like many people who suffer from epilepsy when her brain waves change during sleep.

Previous articles years before CBB seem to back up her admission and I think its a very strange thing to accuse her of lying about suffering from a medical condition.

IU also looked up your question about IAC and this is what I found When later that year she took part in I'm A Celebrity..., round-the-clock filming forced her to tell the producers about her condition and she was banned from sleeping in a hammock for safety reasons.

Not over here and excuse me don't tell me that I said people with epilepsy were "spastics" what a horrible word. You would swear I had made that up when it's actually true, in Ireland anyway.

http://www.epilepsy.ie/index.cfm/spKey/info.rights_entitlements.driving_regulations.html

If she's spoken about her condition before CBB then I stand corrected. Again though I don't get why you think her lying about having a medical condition is so beyond belief and awful when her whole persona is beyond belief and awful. This isn't an attack on people with epilepsy like you seem to be trying to make it, it's got nothing to do with epilepsy or anyone with epilepsy, it's got to do with her

Well you have been corrected then because she has spoken about it 6 years before entering the house.

[sampvt]

What do you mean? I am expressing my opinion, I never said i knew for a fact she was lying, i said I believed she was lying :shrug:

So what you are actually saying is that every time we post opinions that are baseless facts, that we can be slated for them but if you post them, that's ok. Im confused but if this means I am going to be infracted or banned, please just ignore me but I think I have a point here.

[Niamh.]

My apologies for doubting the very honest Katie then, I have no idea why you've decided to take this all so personally though Daniel and make out because I didn't believe Katie I had something against people with epilepsy....that was a bit bizarre

[Niamh.]

Like what? are you referring to something specific, how can i answer that question when I don't know what exactly you're talking about?

As someone who has suffered with epilepsy and night time seizures since I was 23 I do find it offensive that anyone would accuse someone of lying about suffering from the condition.

A little bit of research would have proven that she has been talking about this for years. Instead you find it ok to accuse someone of lying about suffering from epilepsy to get their own room without looking into the facts.

Sorry I obviously took it a bit personally but I find it bizzare you would accuse someone of lying about suffering from seizures when everyone else in the thread is so understanding about it and agrees its fair she has her own personal space to facilitate her needs.

[Samm]

Fair, seeing she has a medical issue

Why though? What's it got to do with you if I think a totally unrelated person to you is lying about having it? I think Katie is a liar in general, I think she's crossed alot of lines already in things she's said so why not about this?

[Beso]

oh ****, I thought she had been left to kip with plastic features or alexander.

[Beso]

Really though?

You 100% believe Katie has never suffered a seizure and has not been diagnosed with epilepsy?

couldn't the constant bright lights be a trigger for a seizure danny?

[Headie]

She filmed her show for TLC ages ago, before she was even approached to do CBB, and it was then that she first opened up about epilepsy. So not sure how she is lying just to get a private room :shrug:

Would you rather leave her in the bedroom with the others and watch her have an epileptic fit on national television. That's not entertainment, that's sick.

If you had the pleasure of feeling how terrible it is to wake up on the floor on a nightly basis you would understand why I find it offensive that you would accuse someone of lying about suffering seizures for something as petty as to get a private room.

Like I said a little google search would prove your over the top claims to be false.

You're acting like I'm mocking people with epilepsy when clearly I wasn't. I also told you that I have a niece and nephew who suffered with epilepsy so I don't know why you think I have something against epileptics just because I find it hard to believe or trust a word that comes out of Katie Hopkins mouth :shrug:

[Amy Jade]

:worship: Hayden and Daniel :worship:

Katie has spoken out about her issues quite a few times and in her recent documentary opened up about it further and it really effects her but as with many illnesses it can flare up.

I am really happy BB took the precaution to give her her own room, for her safety and the safety of others.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

couldn't the constant bright lights be a trigger for a seizure danny?

They could be yes with someone who suffers from photosensitive epilepsy but that doesn't mean the person who suffers from them has to have their rights taken away.

Its discrimination to tell someone they cannot do something when they are not endangering others.

I understand why people with epilepsy have to be monitored for a while before driving as that endangers others but to not allow someone to enter a nightclub for instance isn't treating someone as an equal.

[bots]

I am really happy BB took the precaution to give her her own room, for her safety and the safety of others.

Yet they gave no special treatment to Gary in the last series who was arguably in greater need than Katie :shrug: All is never as it seems i'm afraid to say.

I find it offensive that you would accuse someone of lying about having epilepsy that's all and it seems many others agree.

If you have family members who suffer seizures you should really know its not something someone would lie about having.

I don't think its ok for you to accuse someone of lying without doing any research beforehand.

[Amy Jade]

Yet they gave no special treatment to Gary in the last series who was arguably in greater need than Katie :shrug: All is never as it seems i'm afraid to say.

He had no reason for a private bedroom, he slept perfectly well. He needed some housemates around him who cared for others and not just themselves.

[bots]

He had no reason for a private bedroom, he slept perfectly well. He needed some housemates around him who cared for others and not just themselves.

He had issues brought on by his brain injury, his leg injury etc etc etc, no sympathy or assistance was offered by BB.

Katie may well have a medical issue, but this is an excuse to have a private room. Its obvious.

[Amy Jade]

He had issues brought on by his brain injury, his leg injury etc etc etc, no sympathy or assistance was offered by BB.

Katie may well have a medical issue, but this is an excuse to have a private room. Its obvious.

Or she's just being careful. Would you want to have a fit on live tv?

The bedroom will also be used so she can get instant help if she needed it

Gary didn't have any need for a private room. He wasn't at any risk at all. Yes he suffered a brain injury but there was no need for his own space he was more than happy sharing.

Not everyone is educated enough to share a bed with someone who is having a seizure infact I think it would be quite distressing to others aswel as Katie.

[bots]

Or she's just being careful. Would you want to have a fit on live tv?

But its not live tv is it. Even on the rare occasions that there is a "live" feed there is a delay in transmission. I don't want to play down Katies illness, I'm just saying that relatively, she is being given special treatment that could easily have been afforded to Gary, and wasn't. This makes me believe that she is receiving unfair special treatment

[chuff me dizzy]

Last night was the 1st I have heard of Katies condition ,Ive got the docu taped on v+ not watched it yet, if under Drs orders ,or for her,or someone else's safety ,she's needs her own room,then so be it I remember Julie Goodyears having an hairdresser sent in,nothing said then

[Denver]

It really surprises me how un-inteligent people actually are

[thinkingoutloud]

People actually thinking she's lying about having epilepsy. :unsure:

I don't think she 'lies' as part of her daily life, but even if she did it's a little bit different to lying about having a medical condition, no? Some of the comments in here are shocking to say the least.

Anyway, I have no issues with this seeing the reasons why.

(*gets involved*)
Accusing someone of lying is hardly mocking them.. I think White Dee lied about her depression, despite having suffered with depression myself.
I believe Katie and agree that she should have her own room.. but at the same time i understand why Niamh would question Katie's honesty

Thank you. And I do stand corrected, since Daniel provided some links to where she's spoken about it before. That being said I think she's a vile woman which is why i doubt anything that comes out of her mouth, that's all to do with her and shouldn't be taken personally by anyone else.

There would be some documents to prove it she would of gave to producers, she could of forged it but i dont think she'd go that far. Im quite happy with the bedroom thing AS LONG as it isn't kept secret & the viewers actually know about it & arent being misled.

I think its a bit unfair that its off camera as well as latoya's wasn't & obviously it would be morally wrong to broadcast her fits but people might go in to chat with her & it'll be like the hoh room in america. Considering it's big brother where cameras follow you, that kind of stuff should be shown! I do hope theres a camera in there

Also, it must be a pretty big room if its replacing the gym!! If their gonna get a private bedroom, at least have it about the size of the cbb6 one, i suppose cuz its on-suite but whats that got to do with epilepsy?

[Marsh.]

Is this where she's getting some scriptwriter's to pass her some half decent one liners? :idc:

Because so far her material is as flat as her arse.

Who said it had its own bathroom? lol Obviously that has nothing to do with epilepsy but you're making that up.

Whats next? Katie has her own cabbage patch and sauna?
