Talking to fellow housemates David Gest and John Partridge about her decision to stay in the show, she said: “I’d prefer to be here, but I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t… if I don’t leave I look callous, if I stay I look callous.”

The 66-year-old former model has spoken about her ex-husband several times since entering the house, and accused him of turning their son against her.
She said: “I don’t see him (Duncan) at all. He doesn’t like me. But my daughter loves me, so it’s good.”
On the question of why her son chose not to see her, she said: “I guess David told him not to.”
