Natasha Hamilton might be favourite to win this year’s series of Celebrity Big Brother, but things haven’t been easy for the mum-of-four.
Branded a ‘liar’, a ‘whore’, and an ‘alcoholic’ by fellow housemates Jenna Jameson and Farrah Abraham, Natasha has been left in tears on more than one occasion.
And it’s been breaking the heart of boyfriend Ritchie Neville, with whom she shares one-year-old daughter Ella.
Speaking with new! magazine, the 36-year-old said: “It’s been painful watching her have arguments and being bullied.”
The 5ive star also slammed claims that the Atomic Kitten star is an alcoholic, fuming: “That’s bulls**t.
“I spoke to Rylan and other ex-housemates and the reason they get so excited when wine comes in is because they are hardly supplied with any.
“I’d have a few glasses to relieve the boredom.”
And, on Jenna and Farrah ’s comments that Tash is a ‘liar’ and ought to ‘go have another baby with another man’, Ritchie really lost his temper.
“It’s horrendous and untrue.
“The thing with Farrah and Jenna is that they’ve sat and talked about this stuff - people being fake and liars - but they’re talking about themselves.
“They’ve been the worst for everything that they’re accusing others of.”
Unsurprisingly, Ritchie has a few choice words he wants to say to ‘Jarrah’ when they come out of the house - but he’s far more excited to have 33-year-old Natasha back in his arms.
We can’t wait to see the happy couple’s reunion - not long to go until she’s back in the real world!
