My sister has a personality a bit like Linda's - maybe worse - but she is a wonderful mother. She has brought up her children really well, and is fiercely protective of them.

I don't think it is fair to judge Linda's ability to be an emergency foster carer by her behaviour on BB. She was probably only asked to go on the show because her antipathy for Jim is common knowledge in showbiz circles. These reality TV shows put people into very difficult situations to bring out their worst qualities.

In addition, we see edited highlights of the show - we don't always know the context of comments or situations. We saw Jim going around innocently asking women if they did their husband's ironing: he was obviously doing this for a joke or to wind the women up. Given that he is a wind-up merchant, we might be seeing Linda over-reacting to what seems like a fairly innocuous comment, when in fact it is the straw which broke the camel's back. I don't like Linda, but to judge her ability to foster children by a reality show like BB is really, really unfair.
