They can both move so definitely seems to be a lazy eye.

It sometimes points in the exact opposite direction to her other eye. It adds to her intimidating persona

I noticed it too, probably a combination of stress, excitement and tiredness.

LOL, didn't know tiredness could cause a dodgy eyeball.

Yes it can, eyeballs are moved by muscles which can be affected by stress, just the same as any muscles in the body.

Yes it's called a lazy eye - mine is slowly getting worse and going that way.

Usually (well with me) It's because my right has been damaged by glaucoma and has very little sight left.

Now if you have normal vision as you move your eyes they generally move together but fine tune a little automatically: wider apart or closer together depending on the distance of the object you are focusing on. It's how you judge distance and see 3D as it all goes to the brain for processing.

Now (with me) when one eye is blind or lost most of its vision, the brain adjusts and start to ignore that input and so it can drift on its own. Then in my case the bad eye can catch a bit of a brightly lit object and the brain automatically kicks in and tries to adjust it back again but then hasn't got enough input to lock it all up, so it drift the other way.

This can only get worse as the sight in that eye slowly gets worse with age. (But I have had an op to relieve the pressure and so more rapid damage has been stopped) (The good eye gets done next year to save that from going down hill)

It may not actually be the eyeball, more to do with the eyelid. My dad developed it in his 50s after he was ill, at first they thought he'd had a stroke which caused it but it apparently was damage to the muscles.

P.S. As a rule, glass eyes do not move at all - after the eyeball is removed, the muscles are stitched together so that it feels like they are still pulling something. (each other, just no eyeball inbetween) - A glass eye is not a full ball shaped object, just a half ping pong ball shape (or less) that fits in and rests on the muscle. So just for show really.

It makes a refreshing change from KP's botox and silicone.

Apart from her eye she has quite a big lump on her back, noticed it when she was walking back to camp after her trial.

Tis very educational on here you know!

If you think you have something then someone on here has usually had it before!

Kim, who was born blind in her right eye, is still amazed by her TV stardom.

As the caller said on ITV2 - Kim is legend.

I hope we get lots more of her on our TV screens - I am going to miss her not being on our screens every night. She is hilarious, tough and warm too - a wonderful British battleaxe.
