Big Brother's Alex De Gale bullied girls at her old job, a former colleague revealed last night.
As complaints continued to pour in about her TV behaviour, a boss at her old firm said she was "just herself".
Talking about Alex's time in Thomson Directories telesales in Purley, Surrey, Jake Homatas said: "She made a lot of enemies.
"She bullied girls or people who can't carry themselves in conversation. She thrives on intimidation and ran over them verbally.
"No one in the office could handle her, so the company put her on field sales after two months just to get rid of her. She could do the job - she just couldn't work with anyone else."
Tv watchdogs Ofcom yesterday said they had now received 505 complaints about the show - with 361 about 23-year-old Alex's foul rants after Rebecca Shiner, 21, burned a pan of chips.
C4 admitted to a "similar number" - though an executive said developments were being watched and insisted: "There won't be a repeat of last year's scenes. We are aware of our responsibilities."
But internet users are backing the Mirror's call for aggressive Alex to be slung out of the house. On our own Mirror.co.uk Big Brother forum, Ricke 17 said: "Alexandra is a vile and nasty piece of work and watching her outbursts left a very bad taste in my mouth."
Lindy Loo said: "There is no excuse for her behaviour."
And on media website Digital Spy, Fletchi summed it up simply: "Alex should have been kicked out."
Alex, though, yesterday kept hitting out at her rivals - and even got alcohol banned from the group's shopping list.
