helen is from a wealthy background
 

thats what i was told, wealthy and middle class...private education
no doubt she will find other excuses for her appaling behaviour

No she isn't. She had to become an escort so that she could feed her children.

I suspect we shouldn't always believe everything we hear.

Anyway, wealth has never been a guarantee that you have a happy, loved, safe and secure background.

She grew up in a leafy suburb and went off the rails as a teenager.

Her father is a music teacher who used to teach at Salford University and I believe her mum is/was a teacher

Miss Wood was raised in a £300,000 bungalow in Bolton by Dr Wood and his ex-wife Mary, a primary school teacher.

Her brother Gareth, now 29, married and works as a nurse. Another brother, Daniel, went on to university.

Miss Wood became pregnant at 16 by electrician David Warburton, who was just a year her senior.

When she gave birth in November 2003, a month before her 17th birthday, she listed her occupation on her son s birth certificate as housekeeper and was allocated a council house on an estate near the centre of Bolton. Dr Wood and her mother divorced shortly after.

In 2008 she entered the world of escort agencies and Premier League footballers which afforded her a dramatically different lifestyle.

So there is no substance to rumours that Helen and Danielle had previously met while attending an exclusive Swiss finishing school for young ladies?

You don't have to be from a impoverished background to be badly behaved. I went to a private school (on a scholarship) and there were people with bad attitudes from all backgrounds- rich and poor

Yes she is ! and she only has one child she seems to have forgotten about

Not relevant.

She's not "wealthy" then, is she?

Depends what you mean by it. But she's not someone who grew up like Jade Goody, despite behaving worse than her.

Yes a Top Hooker

you can take big helen out of big brother but you can not take class out of her as she don't have any.

Nobody forced her to do that. It was her choice, probably to make easy money. Plenty of single mothers with one child manage to work in respectable jobs without resorting to prostitution. (Not that I have anything against prostitutes as a rule - I just don't think her child should be used as an reason as to why she became one.)

Well said

Do you seriously think she did it for fun? Obviously we don't know the scenario but it must have been dreadful for her to turn to prostitution. Nobody in the right mind would do it "for the lols".

Firstly she has one child! and secondly she went into prostitution to pay off a 500.00 debt borrowed to go on holiday to Spain!

I didn't realise all these ancient class stereotypes were all still so alive and well these days - funny stuff!

LOl

no one has to become a hooker, just as no one has to shoplift. There are jobs available.

At 19 she got a job working for a technology company. She left the council house and moved into a rented place on a quiet cobbled street in Sharples. 'I was doing admin and marketing and I thought I could work my way up,' she says. But the company started to flounder and Helen found herself, 'last hired, first fired'. She had just returned from a holiday in Marbella, funded by £500 from a loan shark.

an excerpt
This is the story of an ordinary girl who became a single mother at 16 and then got herself into debt. She had borrowed £500 from a loan shark for a holiday to Spain. When she was made redundant from her £260-a-week office job, she had no way of paying it back. The pressure was on and the bailiff was knocking at her door, not to mention her landlord, who was sniffing around, asking if she would pay him in kind. Worried one night, she phoned her friend who suggested that she join an escort agency. The friend told her that she had been working the - See more at: http://www.independent.ie/woman/cele....3lpolyr6.dpuf

So being working class means you have all the excuses in the world? Being middle class doesn't?

Here's a little tip, working class doesn't mean you have an awful life and middle class doesn't mean you'll have a great one.

She mentions the £500 borrowed for a holiday in this interview. :hehe:

If only Wonga had existed, we might never have clapped eyes on Helen :laugh:

My favourite quote from The Independent article..

:D

:joker:

She's so wise. :joker:

Not bothered about her upbringing,She's still filth.

Just because someone is from a wealthy background does not mean their life is plain sailing,something has obviously been lacking for her to be angry and aggressive,as for all the people calling her names like 'filth' etc shame on them,it's no better behaviour than you accuse Helen of,very hypocritical in my book.

This is all old news,I cant see the point in repeating everything,some hate her,some like her,are all the hate threads supposed to make some of us change our minds? I don't give a rats arse where she was brought up or how much money they had,I like her,I find her interesting.

Just 3 years back
seems not the same

What went wrong?

The only thing that is different to me is her style.

It seems weird that the same voice we've got used to over this series is coming out of a completely different face. :eek:

Yes yes yes, we all know how every word written in the press is completely accurate and should be treated as gospel.

Anyone with life experience (the phrase of the series) will know that wealth and good fortune for a family do not make it a properly functioning, stable and happy one.

Think I am now done with all these hate threads, they are beyond boring

Sure
but I think after that TV
she had harder times
and became Harder
