Nadia Almada blames Davina for hate

Nadia Almada has blamed 'Ultimate Big Brother' host Davina McCall for making her ''hate'' herself and feel ''ugly'' and ''disgusting''.

Davina McCall has made 'Ultimate Big Brother' housemate Nadia Almada "hate" herself.

The Portuguese transsexual - who was evicted after just one week on the show following numerous arguments with fellow contestants Coolio and Ulrika Jonsson - said comments made by the show's presenter have made her feel "ugly" and "disgusting".

She explained: "I couldn't believe that Davina didn't ask me about Coolio. It was unforgiveable. I feel so let down. She's someone I have always looked up to. Kids watch that show - she should be more responsible. For Davina to say I am boyish, what does she want me to do? Should I be a perfect, pretty size zero?

"It's made me realise I need to have surgery and reshape my face. I am still not accepted as a woman. Davina's comment has made me hate myself. I feel fat, I feel ugly. I am disgusted by myself when I look in the mirror. So I will have to try harder to conform."

The former winner of the reality television show - who has written to Channel 4 to complain of her treatment on the series - claimed taking part in 'Ultimate Big Brother' was the worst few days of her life because of the "bullying" she was subjected to by her fellow housemates.

Nadia added to Star magazine: "I'm so sad. So deflated. I have had the worst few days of my life. I only took part as a thank you to my fans, as a celebration. But I came out a complete villain.

"You didn't see Coolio being really intimidating, and telling the other housemates to lift my skirt to see if I had male bits. It was horrible. Neither did viewers see Ulrika calling me a 'fat tranny' to my face."

I initially sympathised with her when she was going through the shit after being evicted, and yes, Davina's comment WAS out of order for a professional (and supposedly unbiased) presenter and I can understand why Nadia would have been upset about it, but had she directed her overall rant at the eye of the storm and the worst perpetrator (Coolio) - then I would be nodding my head in agreement.

But on the flip side (and trying to adopt some hindsight), I suppose nobody could ever truly understand what affect comments that may seem harmlessly flippant to most would have on someone in her situation unless we'd been through what she has. Also the timing of the comment was insensitive given the targeted crap she'd just endured by Coolio. She needs to realise that SHE is accepted as a woman and that, (well, from what I've read anyway), most people have issues with her behaviour as a person, not what she has or hasn't got between her legs.

I think the whole problem with Nadia was, going partly with what i saw, and heard Brians comments re.the Come Dine With Me programme , that she had herself on some pedestal, that somehow she deserved the UBB title more than others, she was brought down to earth with a bump, and her pride took a battering. People saw her just as a horrible woman and voted her out. I certainly dont condone Coolio,s comments, although we cant say as we havent heard them, nor Ulrika,s. But to start blaiming everyone else is not the way forward...and yes i agree Mario may not be doing her any favours, filling her head up with nonsense.

While I'm sure what Davina said hasnt helped how Nadia feels about herself, you cant really lay the blame at her door.



If anything is to blame, it would be the editing....if you;re going to show a housemate acting a certain way, then surely the viewers need to see the whole picture about why, and we didnt.



That's not to say Nadia hasnt been arrogant, or at times aggressive, CDWM showed she really can be, but in specific regards to UBB she was pretty much shafted.



And Ulrika?   That's some serious thing to say someone called you if it isnt true....

Actually, the only thing 'ugly and disgusting' I associated with Nadia was seeing her wipe her undercarriage on Coolio's quilt, then gob on his pillow. She was badly treated by that bloke, and Davina shouldn't have made that remark - but how she can blame Davina for all the fall-out is beyond me.
I agree with that.

Most of Nadia's behaviour is ugly and disgusting and imo, no excuse for behaving like that.  She wants to be treated with respect, well she needs to earn it.  Its a two way street.

If this wasn't written for effect (as I 'm sure a lot of her spoutings are) she needs to forget surgery and get herself some proper therapy (not kiddie on Priory Zeleb therapy)    Her face is one of the most feminine things about her  - it's her body that looks manish and she'd need to mutilate herself to change that.   Now.. that is not a transphobic comment - but her midriff and small hips are what do it - she's actually about the same shape is one of my nieces and she's all woman.  She needs therapy, a Gok-ing and friend who will be honest with her (i.e. not twonkface Mario) and help her to make the most of herself.


Oh... and a personality transplant wouldn't go amiss.

She needs to start treating people as she would want them to treat her.  With Nadia, it is always me, me, me.  Absolutely selfish and thoroughly inconsiderate of other people.  She wants people to treat her in a certain way, well she needs to have a long hard look at the way she treats people.  Perhaps then, she might be treated differently.

If ulrika said that then i wish they would come clean about it. Its out of order and while nadia might be angry at this whole situation i can hardly see her lying about something that could be so easily proved to be a lie. Because surely bb would make that footage available if there was nothing to hide and discredit her constant allegations.

I doubt very much that Ulrika said that to Nadia. Just Nadia playing the victim again and passing the blame onto everyone except herself.

TBF, I don't think she would say it if it couldn't be verified and I also think in this instance, she is a victim, no matter how she portrayed herself. Coolio should have been holed over the coals straight aways.

No opinion one way or another - but IF it's not true.. how do the make footage available of something that never happened?


Edit - the only reason I think it might not be true is that I found Ulrika to be too calculating to let rip and say something so controversial.     Besides - all her bitchy comments were usually out of earshot of the target - and never to their face.

Well exactly.

As for Nadia being a victim?  I don't think she is.  If she thinks she is, then most of the fault for that lies with her and her behaviour and attitude.
