And I'm not even saying HMs who have said said something questionable shouldn't be HMs but if you're going to ban that HM from appearing on the spin off shows and having their proper time after they're evicted on the shows then why put them in there at all? The only reason is because it will generate a bit of a frenzy in the media and on social media which imo is shitty behaviour towards these people, no matter what they've said on SM

…yeah for sure, it isn’t the first time that something similar has happened with a housemate and even some have been removed from the show when it could have been prevented by doing some even quite basic background checks…that tended to be more the Channel 5 series that had a tendency to ‘sensationalise’ anyway…those series seemed to have their foundations built on drama and sensationalism and that got more and more…I was really disappointed with the Trish thing because I really had felt that it was more ‘back to basics’ and just showed a little more integrity and relied less on that ‘drama headline’ stuff, you know…
