Shell's mum has hit back at claims that her daughter is only stripping off to win votes, in an interview with The Mirror.
"She's not doing it for votes - absolutely not," her mother, Ellie, told the newspaper. "That's not the kind of girl she is."
Ellie is also angry at how the show is edited to make Shell look posh.
"She's far from posh, she only went in there to pay off family debts," Ellie explained.
"We are a single parent family. Some people have made us out to be rolling in it. We aren't. We are the opposite.
"However, Shell has taken this in her stride and decided to do this to get money and go on and further her education.
"The kids have supported themselves through university. They have to because I can't. Money is extremely tight.
"It's wrong that people are saying she's posh. Just because she's got an English accent doesn't mean to say that she's posh. She buys all her clothes at charity shops. She's a very down-to-earth girl."
I like to point out at this point that Shell has cooked for the Housemates, Cleaned for the Housemates and has even tended to the Lawn :laugh:
Just for that effort she deserves to make it past Wednesday.
She has not been a villain
She has not "had more faces than Big Ben"
She has been devoted to Scott
