She might be one of the most headline-grabbing Big Brother contestants ever, but Channel 5 boss Ben Frow has suggested he believes Helen Wood shouldn't have been included in the most recent series.
The controversial housemate caused over 1,100 people to complain to Ofcom after comparing Brian Belo to a "rapist" and "murderer" back in June.
Big Brother's Helen Wood: 'I was wrong to call Brian a rapist, but he has anger issues'
Channel 5 controller Frow told The Guardian that he "didn't like" the former housemate, and said that he will "have to live" with the decision to include her on the show.
"I didn't like Helen Wood, I think she is a bad person," he commented.
"There comes a point with editorial ... I have to live with myself. Sometimes you have to draw the line," he added.
Celebrity Big Brother, hosted once again by Emma Willis, returns tonight (August 27) on Channel 5 at 9pm.

Big Brother's Steven Goode and Kimberly Kisselovich have split up after just four months of marriage.
Kisselovich is reportedly heading back to the Us, but due to visa issues she will be unable to return to the UK to try to work on her marriage.
According to The Mirror, the couple's troubles began just 12 days after their wedding, when Kisselovich was handed a deportation notice because of an invalid visa.
The couple were recently awarded a tribunal date for January, but her decision to leave the country will bring proceedings to an end.
Goode hit out at the deportation threat in May, saying that his wife should be allowed to stay in the UK because she is "a white America[n] woman".
The former Big Brother stars tied the knot in April at a wedding attended by their fellow housemates Helen Wood, Ash Harrison and Winston Showan.

Danny Wisker came out of the Big Brother house in third place last night, finishing only behind Chloe Wilburn and Joel Williams.
The finalist spoke to reporters this morning, and discussed romance prospects with Aisleyne and Sarah, how difficult he found living with Marc, and those alleged tweets of his that surfaced during his time on the series.
Big Brother Chloe Wilburn interview: 'I'm absolutely gobsmacked - it doesn't feel real!'
Hi Danny. How do you feel about coming third?
"I feel really overwhelmed. Honestly, hand on heart, I didn't think I would come third or anywhere close to the final to be honest with you. Yeah, I'm really overwhelmed and trying to take it all in. I was shocked and just really, really happy."
Quite a few people were saying that it looked like you thought you were going to win. Was it frustrating hearing those comments, and how did that affect you?...

Big Brother hadn't had enough legends this series, so it chucked in BB7's Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace - and she made an impact immediately with her "basic rations for a basic bitch" moment.
But last night it was time for Aisleyne to leave, so this morning she got on the phone to chat to reporters about being in the house, dealing with Helen Wood, why she wasn't really trying to walk out on last night's show, and why she's really disappointed in her love interest Danny...
Hi Aisleyne! How are you feeling?
"Absolutely knackered! I'm so happy to be out of that madhouse."

Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace is officially out of the Big Brother house, and she has a lot to say about Helen Wood and this year's housemates.
The glamour model – who first competed on Big Brother in 2006 – sat down with Emma Willis to dish the dirt after completing her Timebomb return to the house.
Never one to shy away from controversy, Aisleyne spent her week rowing with Helen Wood and Marc O'Neill, complaining about Brian Belo's exit and crying about Jasmine Lennard and Danny Wisker's bed antics.
Asked by Willis if she's pleased to be back in the real world, Aisleyne declared: "Oh lord where do I start, I'm happy to be out of there. That house is absolutely draining and crazy and full of fruitcakes, but I love them all."
Perhaps she loves everyone but Helen Wood, with whom she clashed during their brief tenure together inside the house.

Marc O'Neill is the tenth housemate to be evicted from Big Brother.
Marc, Harry Amelia Martin, Sam Kay and Jack McDermott were all on the chopping block this week, but Marc took the walk of shame for topping the public vote.
Out of 17,668 readers who voted in Digital Spy's latest poll, 45.9% (8,117 votes) picked Jack as the contestant they most wanted gone. Second and third place went to Marc and Harry respectively.
Speaking to Emma Willis, Marc acknowledged that his nominations from fellow housemates didn't come as much of a surprise.
"I was arguing with them cos I was bored out of my mind," he explained. "They sit there and be happy and it's like f**k this, so it made me happy [to antagonise them].

Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace's Wikipedia page was mercilessly edited yesterday (July 1) following the latest Big Brother episode.
During the highlights, the 'legendary' housemate got into another intense row with Marc O'Neill, and shouted at the Irishman that at least she had a Wikipedia page.
Firing back at Marc when he called her face "plastic" and "like Lego", Aisleyne said: "You can look at Wikipedia, because I have a Wikipedia and you don't!"
However, several people took it upon themselves to mess around with her article, with one edit calling her "jealous" of 2014 winner Helen Wood.

And that's what Bruv doesn't want. They don't want harmony and peace and people all being happy.

Helen had suggested in the piece that Nikki received a formal warning in the house that wasn't shown and also suggested that she had special treatment, with chocolate written into her contract.
But Nikki took to her Twitter page to respond, saying: "I have refrained from making a bunch of nasty, silly and misconstrued comments and using Twitter as a weapon because I just think it's a waste of time and not me at all and I'll continue to do so.

Big Brother's Helen Wood has argued that editing made her seem worse than she actually was, claiming that Nikki Grahame had a formal warning that was not aired.
Writing in her Daily Star column, the 2014 winner expressed frustration at some of the reaction that she has received.
"Throughout my time in the house, I was called 'evil', 'poison', 'pond scum' and had my parenting skills questioned about the one person I treasure most in this world," she said. "I have a potty mouth. That is my crime.
"To be called 'spawn of Satan', 'slut', 'wench' constantly, it is completely unwarranted. I'm sick to death with people thinking it's fine to slate me all the time like I'm made of stone.
"They pressed my buttons. That was not shown. So when I explode, it appears as if it's come out of nowhere. Similarly, Nikki got a formal warning, not shown.

The Big Brother housemates nominated yesterday, but Marc O'Neill and Jack McDermott were not happy with the results, with Jack even dubbing it all a "disaster".
The fallout began when Nick Henderson and Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace had to nominate face to face and both chose Marc because of his treatment of Brian Belo, who quit the show after one too many arguments with Marc and Helen Wood.
Marc was annoyed with Nick and Aisleyne's reasons and said: "I don't mind being nominated but do not lie. He antagonised me constantly. I defended myself."
Marc even got back-up from an unlikely source, as Harry Amelia Martin stuck up for him by saying: "Brian is more than able to defend himself."
But his negative reaction didn't endear him to Aisleyne, who later complained: "This one [Marc] is getting on my f**king nerves. Why don't you just take it on the chin?"

The pair had been bickering during a task earlier in the day (Friday, June 26) with Marc describing Danny as a wasp: "Always buzzing about when I am having an argument."
That continued when the task had finished, with Marc again comparing Danny to a wasp.
But it was after Helen Wood, Nikki Grahame and Simon Gross left the house that the arguing really kicked off.
Marc started talking to Nick Henderson about how much he wants to win, when Danny replied: "Who cares."
Marc then reminded Danny of their conversation earlier in the day and how annoyed he gets at Danny always interrupting.
Danny replied that he thinks Marc is looking for an argument and got even more frustrated when Marc once again asked Nick how much he wants to win.

Mr Showbiz Simon Gross may have left the Big Brother house, but he's still got plenty to say about his former housemates, particularly Jack McDermott.

Simon wasn't surprised to see Jack in the bottom two, telling Digital Spy that the 23-year-old needs to change his behaviour in the house.
"I think the problem with Jack is, I think he's been bigged up that he's the winner of the show, with the car right at the beginning," he said.
"He's got this idea that he owns the show. He is Big Brother. He is the god of the show. And he walks around the house like he owns it and everything that goes on.

Big Brother's 'legendary' housemates Helen Wood and Nikki Grahame both left the house last night - but it's fair to say they probably won't be on each other's Christmas card lists, isn't it?
Nikki spoke to reporters about her time in the house this morning, so read on to find out what she had to say about her dislike of Helen, why she'd be better for Nick than Harry is, what it was like to see Pete in the house, which housemate turned on her yesterday, and much more...

The Big Brother house will host some famous faces as part of the latest Timebomb twist.
For one week, the house will be turned into the Hotel from Hell, with notorious celebrities joining the housemates in the compound.
During tonight's show (June 26), Emma Willis revealed that the first guest that the remaining contestants will need to endure is horse-racing commentator (and former Celebrity Big Brother villain) John McCririck.
McCririck's opinionated ways – and unashamed nose-picking habits – made him a controversial character following the third series of the celebrity spin-off show in 2005.
The 75-year-old will join the house on Monday (June 29), with further celebrities to follow.
Tonight, Simon Gross became the ninth housemate to be evicted via public vote.
Legendary housemates Nikki Grahame and Helen Wood were also removed from the group as their Timebomb adventure came to an end.
Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on Channel 5.

Big Brother Timewarp housemates Helen Wood and Nikki Grahame have left the house.
The pair, who returned this year in a Timebomb twist alongside other past housemates, exited one by one after their relationship soured.
Simon Gross was evicted by the public earlier tonight (June 26).
Helen was the first of the legends to leave, and was met with a deafening chorus of boos from the crowd.
"It was more difficult than last year's house," she told Emma Willis. "It was a lot younger and I've never been around so many sensitive people!"
"(Being controversial) wasn't my intention this year, but I probably came across worse than I did before," Helen added.
When Willis mentioned her confrontation with Brian, Helen became defensive: "He took every single opportunity to say something horrible to me," she replied.
"I think Brian is a bully himself (and) he blamed me and Marc for absolutely everything.

This series can be split into two distinct parts: before the '4 In 4 Out' twist and after. What used to be a show about the housemates trying to get along and having some fun along the way has turned into one filled with rage, hatred and aggressive confrontations.
It's interesting. The drama does generate more talking points, but at the same time, seeing housemates verbally abused like that also makes for uncomfortable viewing.
Earlier this week, on Day 43, Brian Belo made his shocking exit - climbing over the wall in the Sky Room, no less - after being called a "rapist slash murderer" by Helen Wood. It was a moment that will undoubtedly be remembered years from now.
But Big Brother made no attempt to intervene. In fact, it was partly to blame by making the housemates play an antagonising game. And Helen only received a formal warning hours later.

It's confirmed - Helen Wood and Nikki Grahame will leave the Big Brother house tonight.
Channel 5 revealed today that the 'legendary' Time Warp housemates, who entered a fortnight ago, will be walking out during tonight's eviction show.
Their exit comes shortly after Time Warp housemate Brian Belo escaped the house by climbing over the wall.
He was replaced on Wednesday by Big Brother 7 star Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, whose arrival sparked further arguments among the housemates.
Helen, Nikki and Brian were initially only meant to stay in the house for a week, but producers decided to extend their visit last Friday.
Viewers will now be able to get an insight on Helen and Nikki's time in the house as Emma Willis will interview them once they've walked out of the front door.

Big Brother's Jack McDermott has expressed his desire to win the series.
In highlights airing tonight (June 26), the housemate admits to feeling nervous about this week's eviction but intends to stay true to himself.
"I am very nervous for tomorrow night," Jack says. "I'm kind of looking forward to the rush of it.
"I'm having to mentally prepare myself that I'm going to walk out the door, but I really want to stay. I passionately want to win. I'm going to try and be me."
Earlier, Jack predicted that Simon Gross could leave for spending too much time in Helen Wood's company.
Nikki Grahame speculates that "hanging out with poison" will harm Simon's chances of staying in the house, to which Jack adds: "Could be guilty by association."
Simon is unhappy with these comments, talking back: "When I get out of here, I'll argue my case because that's ridiculous.

Big Brother's latest arrival Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace already had a feud with Helen Wood - and then she discovered that her rival was behind Brian Belo's exit.
Brian scaled the walls of the house and quit earlier this week after an argument with Helen, in which she compared him to a murderer and a rapist, and taunted him and Nikki about their mental health.
Aisleyne joined the housemates yesterday but was horrified when Nikki Grahame filled her in on Helen Wood's comments.
Later, she went to the Diary Room to vent, admitting: "I'm raging.
"No wonder the poor boy scaled the walls. I feel like crying. I wanted to bring happiness, positivity, good energy and all that happens is arguments and strife."
Aisleyne continued: "Everyone's scared of Helen. They're petrified to have an opinion that negates Helen's opinion. It's pathetic and it's a shame. This is their...

Aisleyne arrived in the house last night and Helen had to explain to Joel Williams that she was a housemate from Nikki's series.
But Helen didn't waste time before complaining about Aisleyne, saying: "She'll target everyone that I'm friends with or associate with. I'm not rising to her."
Well, until Joel asked what Aisleyne does and Helen responded: "I don't think I'm allowed to say on camera... Professional slag?"
Helen's complaints about Aisleyne continued, as she later told Simon Gross: "I don't care how long she's here for as long as she stays away from me."
As Simon tried to comfort her, Helen replied: "You don't need to reassure me against a little slut like that."

After Nikki interrupts a conversation Helen is having, Helen says: "You've found a tongue since your rat-bag mate has moved in.
"Now someone who's from the Z-list like you has walked in, you think you're better than everyone else again."
"If I'm on the Z-list, that makes you unclassified," responds Nikki. "You're a horrible human being. You made Brian [Belo] leave this house. You antagonised him out of this house."
In a later conversation, Helen tells Nikki: "I don't think Aisleyne is the problem. It's you.

Ofcom has received 1,100 complaints about Helen Wood's behaviour on Big Brother.

The pair clashed during a game of 'Who's most likely to...', culminating in Helen telling him: "Brian you look like a rapist, you look like a murderer-slash-rapist."
Before escaping the compound, Brian told Big Brother that he felt "degraded" and "defeated" by the "barrage of abuse" being directed at him by Helen.
Ofcom has confirmed that it will assess the complaints before deciding whether to launch a full investigation.

"I'm okay now," he smiled. "I'm good. I knew that that situation was an unhealthy situation to be in, so I needed to take myself away from it. Now I'm right as rain, Rylan."
Brian had numerous confrontations with Helen Wood and Marc O'Neill during his time in the house, and left following Helen's accusation that Brian looked like a "murderer slash rapist".

The reality show's former winner left the house by jumping over the wall on Tuesday night (June 23).

Big Brother has confirmed that Brian Belo left the house by jumping over the wall last night - and now they've treated us to a sneak peek of the moment he quit.
Brian decided he'd had enough after yet another argument with Helen Wood and Marc O'Neill and climbed the wall, despite Nick Henderson's best efforts to stop him.
In case you missed the news earlier, Brian Belo has left the @bbuk House. See what happened at 10pm tonight #Bbuk

In fact, Nick even tried to pull Brian back by the ankles, but the Big Brother 8 winner told him: "No, Nick, get off my legs please."
As Big Brother tried in vain to tell Brian to return, most of the housemates rushed out to the garden in horror at the events that were unfolding.
But our favourite bit is Joel...

Brian Belo escaped from the 'Big Brother' house after climbing over the garden wall. It was announced that the 27-year-old star had decided to leave the house earlier today (24.06.15) and it's now been revealed that rather than exiting through the Diary Room, he went through with an elaborate escape plan after being tormented by fellow housemates Helen Wood and Marc O'Neill. Speaking in the Diary Room before he left the house, Brian confessed: ''I feel like I'm being ganged up on. I don't want to cry. I've tried to keep away from there. I shouldn't have come back here.

Big Brother's 'legendary' housemates Helen Wood and Nikki Grahame haven't seen eye to eye much recently - and yesterday their relationship deteriorated even further.
Nikki spent the night before in a separate room after freaking out during the housemates' food fight, with Helen telling Marc O'Neill: "She had a panic attack."
When Nikki returned to the house, no-one reacted at first, although Brian Belo and Simon Gross eventually welcomed her back.
However, Helen went to the Diary Room to complain about Nikki, saying: "She's so full of s**t. You knew we were breaking a rule and you knew we'd be punished for it. You wanted to get out of it."
While Helen was chatting about Nikki, Nikki was chatting about Helen as she asked Nick Henderson if her rival had said anything about her.
"She was just saying you were doing it for the press," Nick replied, prompting...

Does anyone in the Big Brother house like poor Mr Showbiz?
In highlights airing tonight (June 24), both Nikki Grahame and Jack McDermott complain about Simon Gross behind his back.
Simon welcomes Nikki back after she spent the night in Big Brother's spare room. But she tells Brian Belo that she doesn't trust him.
"I know [Helen] doesn't like me, so he's just running in between the pair of us," she says. "I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. I'm not a hard bitch that can put up with things."
Jack later talks to Big Brother in the Diary Room with his own views on Simon.
"[Helen and Marc are] very hypocritical. Complete idiots," he comments. "Simon is so far up their arse it's embarrassing.
"He's a 46-year-old man. He's fake as f**k. I find him so frustrating. The constant reassurance, that's just a pain in the arse."
Even Helen Wood mocks him.

Brian Belo quit the Big Brother house in style - by climbing over the wall.
Brian had enough of the compound after yet another argument with Helen Wood and Marc O'Neill during a game of "Who's most likely to..."
Tensions were high from early on in the task as Marc accused Brian and Nikki Grahame of being in the house for the money and Brian complained about Helen: "When I'm in your company, around the pair of you, my energy gets so subtracted. I cannot be myself around you. You tag team people. You work in cahoots."
As the conversation continued, Helen told Brian: "You're gonna lose it again aren't you. Look at the aggression in your face."
The housemates managed to calm down the situation and returned to the game, only for Nikki and Brian to suggest that Helen is the housemate most likely to marry for money.

Brian Belo seems quite happy with his decision to leave the Big Brother house as he's just posted on Twitter that he's "free".
Channel 5 confirmed today (June 24) that Brian had left the show of his own accord and he's now spoken out for the first time on social media.
Take it to the wall #free #bbuk
— Brian Belo (@brian_belo) June 24, 2015
We're not quite sure what "take it to the wall" means but we do definitely understand the hashtag "#free".
Is it too much for us to hope that it's a sign he climbed over the wall à la Sandy and Donny Tourette?
Brian had continually clashed with his fellow 'legendary' housemate Helen Wood and an argument between the pair last night - in which he called her "pond scum" - may have been the final straw.
Nikki Grahame certainly wasn't happy about his decision to quit, though, as she...

Big Brother has lost Brian Belo, and Nikki Grahame is not happy about it.
Channel 5 confirmed today that Brian has chosen to leave the show, and in a video on the official Big Brother website Nick Henderson can be seen hugging Nikki to comfort her after his big exit.
"He will be alright, he probably just needed to get out," Nick said. "You've got to stay here now for him though, and I'll look after you now. At least he'll feel better now."
Nikki agreed: "At least no-one's going to make him cry on the outside. I feel like I let him down."
However, Nick told her: "There's nothing you could have done. If he felt like that, I just wish he'd said because he didn't tell you and if he'd told you he felt like that, you would have stopped him."
And Nikki admitted that if Nick hadn't stopped her,...

Brian Belo's mother is ''deeply upset'' by Helen Wood's insults claiming her son looks like a ''murderer'' and a ''rapist''. The 'Big Brother' housemate made his escape from the Channel 5 reality TV show house yesterday (24.06.15) by scaling the wall of the garden after the 28-year-old beauty's jibes got too much for him to handle, and has admitted his family were ''really hurt'' watching him get so upset. Speaking to Bang Showbiz about the words Helen used to describe him, Brian said: ''The first thing that went through my head was, 'How are my friends and family going to feel,' more...
