Shell's mum has hit back at claims that her daughter is only stripping off to win votes, in an interview with The Mirror.

"She's not doing it for votes - absolutely not," her mother, Ellie, told the newspaper. "That's not the kind of girl she is."

Ellie is also angry at how the show is edited to make Shell look posh.

"She's far from posh, she only went in there to pay off family debts," Ellie explained.

"We are a single parent family. Some people have made us out to be rolling in it. We aren't. We are the opposite.

"However, Shell has taken this in her stride and decided to do this to get money and go on and further her education.

"The kids have supported themselves through university. They have to because I can't. Money is extremely tight.

"It's wrong that people are saying she's posh. Just because she's got an English accent doesn't mean to say that she's posh. She buys all her clothes at charity shops. She's a very down-to-earth girl."

I like to point out at this point that Shell has cooked for the Housemates, Cleaned for the Housemates and has even tended to the Lawn

Just for that effort she deserves to make it past Wednesday.

She has not been a villain

She has not "had more faces than Big Ben"

She has been devoted to Scott

With Michelle gone Shell is the next losing housemate I intend to support. Not much else to choose from is there.....

Does that mean you will vote for her then ?

[Jason_Luva]

im voting for Jason, but im sure i can squeeze a cuple of votes 4 shell

I don't dislike Shell, I'm sure she's a really lovely person, I just don't find her interesting to watch in the slightest and I might not even notice her abscence if she goes on Wednesday.

I'm putting all my votes Jason's way and I'm afraid I'm not sparing any for Shell.

agreed Lee

[Jason_Luva]

i might not be bale to vote for shell, since all my jason votes have gone on top of my contract my dad is already gona go mad!

[sheila p]

im going to vote for shell, as she has done everything for those lazy house mates. and what is she going to get in return (nothing)big brother should make them care for shell for a change

[golden~rose]

yeah but its not like she didt want to, she loves cooking. i dont think shes a push over though. if she doesnt want to do something then im sure she wouldnt do it!!

[sheila p]

maybe not but they are still lazy housemates when have you seen dan/jason/nadia/stuart cook i havent seen them do much at all

[golden~rose]

agree, some hms in there are very lazy

[sheila p]

i supose that when they get out of the house they will be still waited on hand and foot still being lazy wait till they go back to work they have a shock coming to them they will have to work just like us

[golden~rose]

michelle was the laziest in my opinions i read a magazine today where they showed how much weight they gained where michelle gained over a stone and dan lost 6lbs!!!

[sheila p]

well she had to keep up her energy so all she did was eat but it might not of done her any favours as stuart might not like big women and by god she looks big now

[golden~rose]

she was telling stu that she had got so fat and she had promised stu that she will go to the gym and lose weight. stu was just telling her that it didnt matter!!!

[sheila p]

yes all men say that im lucky im not big but a lot of my friends are wait until he gets out then we will see if it matters got to go bb on telly now

If Stuart uses the fact that Michelle has put on weight to dump her, then he wasnt worth much in the first place. My OH was quite worried when I decided to go on a diet really so I could get into a special outfit for a posh wedding. He said he loved me the way I was and the only way he would push me to lose weight would be if it was dangerous to my health. I have done lost quite a bit of weight and am two sizes smaller than at Christmas. He is proud of me for the fact that I have kept to it, but I know he wouldnt feel any different whatever size I was. So I hope for Michelle's sake Stuart has the same attitude.

As for Shell. She is obviously someone who is on the go all the time normally and I think the cooking is part of this. It stops her being bored. I think she has been herself - and what we see is what she is. I definitely would vote for her ahead of both Jason and Stuart.
