A last resort because she grew up in a middle-class home and wanted to continue to live with a middle-class income, despite having no qualifications or skills? Yes, then I'd agree with that. Otherwise she could have done what my daughter's best friend's mum does (and countless other young single mothers do) and worked hard in three normal jobs and... y'know... not become a prostitute.

Is it fair enough that she would rather turn to prostitution than work harder for less money? I'd say it probably is. It's her body to do as she pleases with. But a "last resort" it clearly was not.

[edited to add]

You do also realise that "escort" is simply a euphemism, right? It's a legal loophole. You're paying "for their time and company", not sex... it just so happens that it turns out they did want to have sex after all. Completely coincidentally, of course. Paid for sex = prostitute, by definition.

Don't be so niave.

Tbh to appear controversial on Big Brother, all you need to do is have a little bitch about someone and then there's huge debates and side-taking on it all around. Anywhere else it might sound like something significant, but in BB everything gets blown up into weird proportions.

I don't understand why the escorting stuff is still being brought up anymore as a way for people who dislike her to try and detract from Helen's time in the house. She has clearly moved on with her life and now owns her own business.

Also just to throw it out there but some of the people who keep going on about her escorting pass were not happy last year when members were bringing up Jim Davidson's past cases of homophobia and domestic violence so why was that deemed as past but Helen is forever a *****?

No she is not the most controversial housemate ever.
Depending on how you interpret the word, but for me the more controversial people
were bb13 Connor and his behaviour towards Deanna, bb14 Daleys behaviour towards Hazel, even hazel herself was way more controversial than Helen. There have also been better bitches than her Grace bb5, Gina bb14. Helen is predictable & boring by comparison.

[lostalex]

of course she's controversial. you wouldn't be asking it with a poll if she wasn't.

[Headie]

Yes, but not in a good way. There's entertaining-controversial and then there's just series-killing-controversial

I'd imagine people are asking because Helen used that word in a description of herself and Ashleigh didn't think it applied to her

Meh,She can't even spell controversial.

[Ellen]

Yes i would say she has.

[Kizzy]

She is seen as controversial simply due to that damn ugly footballer!
Even he's stunned he has a wife and doesn't have to pay women to sleep with him anymore.

[poppsywoppsy]

It seems Helens view of herself is very different from others.

I am not this, or that she cries, Yes Helen you are exactly that, how many times do you need telling.

You back your group 100% but are foul to anyone not in your group, yes you are confrontational but not to anyone in your group, you are dreadful to those you don't like.

Cry all you like but the lack of empathy you showed to others is now directed back at you.

Having a wife IS pretty much paying someone to sleep with you

..she isn't by most people though, maybe a few and that would be expected for a housemate where a past was more well known and in the same way that unfair things are said about Ashleigh about her upbringing but mostly it's only Helen's time in the house that is discussed and Lord knows that's been enough...

[muchadoaboutnothing]

I would say she is conroversial in so far as girls like her who have affairs with celebrities (in her case, a well know footballer) would normally be associated or part of the CBB. she has ven given TV interviews. Which BB she should be in is controversial enough. But then there are a few of this years HMs who, in one way or another, have already been on TV, Zoe, Mark, Winston, Biannca and could have qualified for CBB, especially considering how some how have appeared on CBB have done a lot less to be given the title of Celebrity. So in this case I have voted YES.

[Marc]

I'd say no, she's rude and dumb. Not really controversial
