Charlie was offered a place on BB 2 years ago for BB8 and because of his mum he turned it down, so he says on LF talking to Marcus a few weeks back.
He said that he was ready to go on BB this year and wanted to make his mum proud.
How if she is in a coma??
But to be sympathetic with Charlie maybe he thought his mum would come out of her coma one day and watch his antics on BB.

I do feel he is milking his mothers situation and for that he is in the wrong, and he uses it as an excuse for his behaviour and to collect the sympathy vote.

Even his father has told the newspapers he has had traumatic experiences because he was robbed at knife point and this could be contributing to his behaviour in his fathers oppinion.

It does not excuse his behaviour or his vindictivness and I don't believe he is easily led.
Charlie is out for Charlie and thinks he is better than others because he has had a few knocks in life.

He needs to grow up and realise that because you have had nasty things happen to you does not automatically make you elligable for a cash prize.

Maybe he should go to claims direct.
