It seems that Big Brother star Helen Adams may have turned her back on the newspaper that helped save her from eviction.

During Helen’s nine weeks in the house the South Wales Argus ran a campaign supporting Helen and urging readers to vote out her rivals each time she was nominated for eviction.

However, when Helen recently visited Newport, a minder for the Welsh star refused requests for the Argus to speak to her.

She happily posed for pictures and signed autographs as she attended the opening of a new supermarket in the town, but her bodyguard turned down an Argus reporter’s request for a quick chat with Helen.

The newspaper said: “It’s just a little ironic that, through her bicep-bulging protector, she decided not to speak to a newspaper which has helped perpetuate the fame she won via the small screen.”
