Big Brother's Alex up for eviction


It will come as little surprise to Big Brother viewers but unpopular Croydon housmate Alexandra is up for eviction.

The mouthy mum-of-one was nominated along with Mario to face the public vote for this week's eviction.

Alex received nine out of a potential 14 nominations from fellow housemates.

The 23-year-old has odds of just 125-1 to win the series - the lowest out of any Big Brother contestant from any of the nine series in the UK.

During her time on the show the single mum has been labelled a bully and rubbed several of the housemates up the wrong way, causing many huge rows.

A mum, whose daughter attends the same school as Alexandra's girl, said she was sure the accounts executive would be booted out of the show on Friday.

She claims she had to report the gymslip mum to police after she threatened her over a parking space outside the school.

"I was so upset, especially because it was my child's birthday that day. She was swearing at me and was in my face, even though there were kids everywhere.

"When lots of people called out to me to check I was alright she jumped in her car and drove off.

"Every parent in the school has heard her mouth. She is not liked up here - she doesn't do herself any favours."

She also claimed that just a couple of weeks before Big Brother began, Alexandra had to be hauled out of the school in the presence of police following a meeting with the school's headteacher.

"I think she needs some prozac and a padded cell," she added. "I think if you make yourself a public figure then it is fair game for your personal life to be discussed, especially if you leave a trail of disaster behind you.

"Now she's been on telly she will think she's God's gift and have a don't you know who I am' attitude.

"It's not right - she's not a good image of Croydon, black people or teen mums.

"If she's up for eviction then unless Big Brother rigs it, she'll be out."
