Fears for Heavy D as he faces eviction: Mental health expert questions Celebrity Big Brother star’s emotional strength
Storage Hunters star has divided opinion with his behaviour in the hous
A MENTAL health lawyer has expressed concern for Celebrity Big Brother housemate Heavy D as he faces eviction this evening.
It comes after fans of the Storage Hunters star, who is up against Stephen Bear, Lewis Bloor and Renee Graziano, have questioned whether he is emotionally strong enough for the show.
Discussing Heavy’s participation in the show, Anna Turnbull-Walker, a lawyer at Scott-Moncrieff, said: “There have been a number of questionable choices of people to take part on Big Brother over the years and Heavy D seems to be another one.
“While everyone does have psychological tests, it’s unclear what the long term effects of taking part on a show like this could be for someone who isn’t necessarily emotionally strong enough.
“Heavy’s behaviour has appeared rather bizarre at points in the house – which is quite concerning. He doesn’t always react to situations in a manner that would be expected.”
Continuing about his concerning relationship with someone of his housemates – in particular Stephen Bear and Lewis Bloor, the mental health expert said: “He also appears to be somewhat more isolated than other members of the house – which means he doesn’t have the protective factor of people to support him.
“He has come under attack from a number of housemates and he is clearly very easily led which can be distressing to watch.”
She added: “He seems to think he will be in the show until the end but it will be interesting to see how he reacts if he is evicted this evening.”
This evening, prior to the live eviction, viewers will watch as Heavy becomes embroiled in yet another row with his on/off pal Lewis Bloor - that almost ends in him being punched.
The booming housemate causes upset when he starts to mock Lewis’s gym routine and plans for once he leave the house.
As Heavy continues to wind him up, Lewis explodes and jumps up, shouting: “Shut the f*** up! I’m trying to talk to her, and you’re just winding me up!”
He was later called to the Diary Room and issued with a formal and final warning from Big Brother for his behaviour.
