Celebrity BB: Bullying fears for Jodie

Jodie Marsh

The glamour girl has been reduced to tears by comments from fellow housemates George Galloway, Pete Burns and Michael Barrymore.

She has branded Respect MP Galloway a bully, and after a bust-up with Barrymore and Burns yesterday she threatened: "I might as well kill myself because I have nothing to live for."

Marsh, 27, has made Beatbullying her chosen charity while she is in the house.

The Essex girl became an ambassador for the children's charity after suffering years of taunts at school.

Young people

A spokesman for the charity said: "Beatbullying has received a huge number of e-mails from young people across the UK who support Jodie's stance on bullying, many of them very worried about some of the treatment Jodie is going through in the Big Brother house.

"Beatbullying will speak out against bullying whenever it happens. We will continue to support Jodie through her journey.

"Like all of the young people we work with, we know Jodie is strong and will stand up against bullies whenever she meets them."

Marsh has said she was bullied so badly at school in Brentwood, Essex, that she contemplated suicide.
