Whilst I mostly agree with what Freddie says - I really don't think that Shabby has bi-polar disorder. Using a real, very serious mental illness to describe what is basically a toddler having a tantrum (Shabby) is highly inaccurate. I wish 'celebrities' wouldn't describe themselves as having bi-polar disorder as an excuse for bad behaviour. I have every sympathy for those people who do genuinely have this diagnosis such as Stephen Fry - as I know how debilitating and distressing the illness can be having lived with a close family member with this illness for some time.

So, perhaps we should describe Shabby as being 'highly emotional' or having a 'mood disorder' and leave the diagnosis out of it. If she really did have bi-polar disorder she would not have passed the screening to get in the BB house.

I'll get down off my high horse now :-)
