Nobody has really been that horrendous for me on ITV.

I’d have loved to see some of these new viewers put up with proper bastards like Helen Wood (who I liked) or some of the horrendous C4 housemates who were just absolutely nasty.

I think over the 3 series we’ve had on ITV they’ve been tame in comparison.

…yeah, I agree about the ‘villain’ thing, how easily that can be created…and it’s kind of like a rolling stone thing, isn’t it…and the beginning of that is BB themselves because they are the masters of what’s highlighted and context can at times be quite slanted to create that hero/villain thing…obviously there has been lots of discussion points with Ali and her actions and reactions and house behaviour…and that’s what we do, that’s always been our BB…but yeah, the labelling and ‘hate’ that can be directed at someone is really not good to see…and social media adds a huge weight that we didn’t have back in the day…
