Narinder 'feels sorry' for new Big Brother contestants

Former Big Brother contestant Narinder says she feels sorry for the new housemates who will be entering the house on Friday.

She says she went to "hell and back" after the nine-week series last year.

Narinder has just got her first TV job as a presenter on new reality cable show Undercover Lovers. But she says her life has been "torn to shreds" in the process.

She told Newcastle's Evening Chronicle: "The contestants had so much bad press, everyone was slagging us off. And there was that horrible programme on Sky - celebrities behaving badly. It was just awful.

"Maybe I do regret doing Big Brother. You see, it's not just your own life it affects and upsets, it affects everyone around you."

I have some sympathy for Narinder, up to a point - but no-one forced her to appear on the 'Celebrities Behaving Badly' programme, did they?
