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?

I can agree to it's not easy being a bb contestant 24-7 with cameras following your every move however they are worned that the press will have a feild day

I have a lot of sympathy for Naz. It's very easy for us to say they knew what they were getting into, but what could have prepared anyone for what some of the contestants have been subjected to?

I think that the Celebrities Behaving Badly programme was edited to show her in the worst possible light and I don't think you can really blame her for that. I know she agreed to it but I don't imagine they told her the truth about how she'd be presented, do you?

Nice to be back posting, even if only temporarily

It's only the link that temporary peachy. When then new server updates properly you shouldn't notice any difference, apart from the fact you'll go straight there and not be re-directed.

Happy Posting everyone.

I feel sorry for Narinder. She was a great contestant and I feel bad about the way in which she has been portrayed.

Some people can handle it better than others and lets face it Big Brother is a great experience.
