Selection of certain housemates[edit]
The programme attracted criticism on 31 May for putting several vulnerable people in the Big Brother House. Pete suffered from Tourette syndrome.[53][54][55][56] Shahbaz was revealed to be mentally and emotionally unstable and threatened to commit suicide on live television. He was being monitored by production team psychologists after commenting on how he intended to commit suicide whilst in the house.[57] Many of the housemates were accused of bullying Chaudry. He left the house on Day 6. Chaudry admitted after leaving the house that he downplayed his mental condition during the selection process.;[58]

Lea suffers from body dysmorphic disorder; Sam has admitted to being shunned by family members because of homosexuality and gender identity choices; and Nikki has suffered from anorexia and been sectioned[59][60] in the past due to the condition. A spokeswoman for mental health charity SANE claimed that producers are "playing fast and loose with people's lives." A spokesman for Rethink commented "The programme should not profit from people having a breakdown." A spokesman defended the show saying that a psychologist is always available for housemates.[61]
