Sarah Harding has been "given time away" from her fellow ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ housemates.
The former Girls Aloud singer has sparked concerns for her mental health in recent days after she broke down in tears following a boozy session earlier this week, and now producers have offered her the chance to escape the hustle and bustle of the house when her anxiety takes over.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Sarah is not in a great state. She’s not coping with the pressure and she’s paranoid about what everyone thinks of her. She’s been spending time talking to the professional team and is being given time away from the other housemates.
"She is finding it tough living with so many other people because she usually lives alone. No one wants her to walk out so it’s about trying to get her through these difficult times. There are real concerns, they don’t want to push her too far."
Sarah raised eyebrows over the weekend when she downed alcohol, pranced around in the pool in her bikini and then bit her fellow housemate Amelia Lily’s leg.
She sobbed: "I didn’t want to drink in here, for f***s sake! Now it’s all ruined."
And it’s not just the producers who are worried about the 35-year-old star’s mental state and stress levels in the house as her co-stars have also expressed their concerns.
Brandi Glanville said after Sarah was put up for eviction by the VIPs: "I really like Sarah a lot. I’m concerned for her well-being. She’s very fragile right now."
Speaking to bosses, Sarah – who has had several stints in rehab over the years – said tears: "I have tried to stay positive and they ask me what’s wrong and I tell them. I’ve had a headache for three days. I’m not used to being in an environment like this. I just don’t feel like I belong here anymore."
