He even singled out Tully, claiming she and Estelle were two of the main offenders when it came to “spoiling” the Big Brother experience for the new housemates.
“We’d be sitting there and Big Brother would be talking and then you know, you’ve got your Tullys and your Estelles being like, ‘Oh, it’s going to be this, it’s going to be this’.”

“Not only did I make a monumental mistake, [it was] the biggest mistake of my life,” she revealed, adding that the backlash was so intense she experienced PTSD.
