I don't believe she "went into the BB house". I believe, like most of them, she was sought out by the producers and offered payment. Not many would turn the offer down.

Yes, look at her milking it. Look at all the press attention.....

Oh wait, it's three year old news.

They would if they didn't want it all raked up again in the tabloids, causing fresh hurt to Coleen. It wasn't her fault her husband was an ass and his choice of prostitutes were money hungry fame*****s.
And yes, she is milking it, otherwise she would say 'no comment' to every mention of it. I wonder how much she is getting paid for these recent tabloid spreads, were she says' I want to put it behind me' - all the while talking about what she says she wants to put behind her.
Her poor son! He must be getting awful stick from his schoolmates. He, and they, can read headlines on newspaper racks, I assume....

Did she think of him first when she went on BB? Did anyone before they voted for her to WIN?

It's not up to her to "think of Rooney or Coleen". He brought that hurt to his family, she chose to stay with him after countless affairs with prostitutes. Nothing to do with Helen.

It's not as if they need quotes from Helen to make these articles anyway. It made the front page of the trashy tabloids whilst she was in the house and making no mention of it. I'm sure Coleen's mature enough to not read the trash and ignore it.

But again, it's not down to Helen to think of them, that's Rooney's responsibility. They're famous, they're going to have the papers write sh*t about them. Rooney's shagged around, he can't cry foul now. Coleen is still with him, she can't whine about the paper's still mentioning it.

You're asking this a good 15 years after all the celebrity themed shows included everyone except real celebs? Because that's what the producers go for year after year.

Who knows? But facts are, she was sought out by producers and paid to go in. Quite a different take to the one you're trying to spin.

And "world cup year"? lol she was offered a place in CBB 2011 then approached again this year It was the producers who did that not her. As if she was going to turn down going into Big Brother. Before the Rooney thing she hadn't exactly been a fame ***** or anything either like you're making out she hasn't appeared on anything else unlike most of the other housemates this year who had been on several different shows beforehand.

You really are not on the same page as everyone else are you? You seem to just ramble on without knowing any facts just your own insults and judgements used to justify your opinion.

Why didn't she go into CBB 2011? Oh yes, it wasn't world cup year. It didn't suit her agenda...

What?
I'll repeat myself. If she hadn't gone into BB, there would be no story. It was in the past. She knew it would get raked up again, yet she did it for her own self serving reasons.

If someone doesn't have any other skills to sell that could make anywhere near as much money as they'd make on theiry back, then that's their call. What I find really distasteful is, because her client was famous, she sold the whole sorded story to the tabloids for cash before absolving herself of all responsibility by saying "he was married, he cheated, not me".

Helen: she's one dispicable, untrustworthy, plastic, skanky hole.

I never said she was blameless, I'm refuting the claim that the story appearing in the papers recently is all Helen's doing. It was all over the trashy tabloids without any interviews/input from her so it's not all her fault.

Also, she sold her side of the story AFTER the details had already been printed and sold by her former best friend along with her name which she tried to stop being released. But because she wasn't a millionaire she can't afford injunctions and they could do what they like with her.

I think the line you quoted was referencing all of the "home wrecker" style insults being thrown at her. Rooney is the home wrecker, Helen is one of many prostitutes he's paid for sex.

It's true, although of course if she hadn't agreed to do BB with the supposed intention of changing how some people view her - then the trashy rags would have found another non-story to print. She would have known that this would happen - and I suspect the aim to get others to change their view of her could be read as her hoping it would happen.

In my view she of course has exploited the situation as much as possible - either which way. Whether you think that is justified or not is down to personal judgement - but although I don't think she's the brightest spark, I really think she was knowingly complicit.

She didn't get to sell the story about the actor who she "let slip" had bought her services. Funny how she let that slip and got a bit petulant at the injunction - or maybe not?
