SHE may have won the hearts of a nation after coming out on top in Big Brother 5, but Nadia Almada admits she’s a loser when it comes to love.

The 27-year-old says a series of disastrous dates have left her fearing she’ll never find her "Prince Charming", a man to sweep her off her feet.

The Portuguese star believes her expectations are too high and told us her trust in men was shattered when an ex-boyfriend revealed intimate details about their relationship.

"I felt so betrayed," she added. "But at the same time it was such a strange situation because he was telling the world how much he loved me."

But it’s not the first time the reality TV favourite has faced demons from her past – that even left her contemplating suicide.

But diva Nadia has told too many lies to be believed now. Could she be embarking on a public relations exercise in an attempt to seek public sympathy for her "bravery" in not topping herself after her call girl past exposure?

With a failed pop career and impending failure to capture the exercise video market, it seems all too likely that she is putting up a front for public sympathy, a winning formula she successfully used to win the main event in BB5.

Although many media opportunities are opened for the winner of Big Brother, and she has been given the opportunity to sell herself to the GBP on the screens and in the print media, the general public are generally tired of seeing her as she simply has no obvious talent.

I feel quite sorry for Nadia. She's obviously going through an extreme identity crisis and seems to think that some fairytale 'prince charming' is gonna come along and make everything alright.. Maybe this thread could be of some use to her finding a solution to her troubles as I think they're a lot deeper than finding true love.

I don't feel sorry for the diva, as she is the architect of her own troubles.

First, she has cried wolf once too many times, hoodwinking Channel 4 viewers into helping her look for loooove. All the while, she already had someone who was doing the business with her on the side. That revelation really shook me, even as the names and details of hopeful men were passed on to her after she emerged the winner of BB5.

She has too many secrets, all unsavoury, and the GBP does not like to be fooled twice.

Yeah I bet..

And poor little sensitive me was still shaking through the bones when the prostitution and £1,000 a week income was revealed. That walloped me sideways and threw me for a six.

From then on, I was converted to my Anti-Nadia mission. I really hated being deceived.

I think Nadia's whinings are highly inappropriate right now.

Has she not considered the traumatic loss and anguish that thousands of families are suffering right now in the wake of recent events?

For her to go public with yet more sob stories at this time is bad taste to say the least.

If she feels the need to be so self absorbed, just keep it to herself right now and not publicly bleat out yet more self indulgent sob stories until this Tsunami business has calmed down a bit.
Very bad taste to hear about her tales of woe right now.

It's always the fault of someone else. It never occurs to Nadia to look inward, and see if maybe she herself might be at fault in some way. The real problems may lie within regarding her social dilemnas.

At least she could have the respect and decency to leave it while things calm down a bit...then start crying about the "acceptance" stuff in the media a bit later on.

She's had a bad time, and has had problems in love. Haven't we all...boo hoo, join the club Nadia.
Life isn't meant to be happy all the time, you grab happiness in little bits here and there. A quick cup of coffee, a half hour TV comedy, a night out, a cigarrette. She should feel lucky she can still experience these little moments of happiness.

Some people can't enjoy those little snatches of life's happy thrills anymore.......because they're dead Nadia.
Or they are due to leave this mortal coil very soon.
And the families they have left behind in such horrific circumstances have immediate, life shattering devastation to deal with.

I don't know who her advisers are, but they are idiots for not considering your above point in their public relations duties to the diva. There is a time and a place for everything.

With regards to the "acceptance" she claims to crave so much that she went on BB5, have you found any evidence that she was ever refused or rejected as a woman? I just don't buy this line at all.

I mean, who has gone in her face and said "I don't accept you as a woman"?

I know, IknowIcould ...(Ooh, that doesn't read right)

Her agent must be insane to advise her to come out with that sob story right now.

It's all right, mate. No problems.

I feel a little sorry for her. Big Brother could have proved a great help for someone like Nadia, but unfortunately she chose not to allow the other housemates to get to know the real her, and as such, the viewers didn't get a chance to see beyond that secret. Perhaps she doesn't even know the real her either.

This is the problem with Big Brother. Every year we have simple minded people uttering pieties about acceptance. It was about time a gay person won, when Brian won; it was about time a woman won when Kate won; it was about time a deeply religious person won when Cameron won; and it was about time a transexual won when Nadia won. If that's as deep as people are going to look when finding a winner of a show based on personality, then no wonder so many of the contestants last year were so, to put it kindly, horrible. Personally I'd rather someone with some honesty, integrity, and intelligence to win the show before someone who should because it will send out some kind of great liberal message, or because they were great entertainment value. I usually find people like that are far more interesting anyway.

Nadia is the closed circle. The Law Of Retributive Returns in action. Karma.

I have no sympathy for the fraudster. All the jeers, boos and unrelenting ridicules her rabid fans directed at Jason, the "sore loser" are coming back to hit her full force.

I wish her as much pain, earache, heartache, headache and anguish as Jason endured. It is only fair.

I don't feel sorry for her, but I do agree with your points Juicy Bug.

Because I think it probably applies to anyone who thinks that the pursuit of celebrity status will solve all their problems.
Because deep down, they must know that they can't truly be satisfied. Even if they try to put across the good side of their personality so the public endear themselves to them...deep down they know that it is that itself which the public find appealing...the good side that was presented to them.
The public persona.
Inside they know the truth that the public were supporting an ideal that isn't really them as a complete, whole person.

It's probably why you end up with people like Michael Jackson whose life becomes so deluded that they end up believing the hype and go extremely weird.

That's why I often wonder why some people think that becoming a celeb that the public love is an objective that will genuinely make them feel loved.
Deep down they must know that the love is artificial, and cannot replace the same affection that one close to yourself could give.

You're famous...you have fans, you have money, but there must come a time of realisation that it's all not really real, and you still need human interaction that is real. Or you are no more secure than when before you were famous.
Trying to get love from your fans by coming out with tales of woe is just not real.

For many years there has been this compulsion to just be famous at any cost. As though being famous for the sake of being famous is a goal that must be acheived at all costs.
It's good for getting rich,....but if you want to be famous because you think it will provide you with love and friendships of any meaningful value,...well I find it hard to see how it can happen.
Unless you are such a shallow person you're capable of deluding yourself and can happily live in a world that isn't real

If you're a bit messed up before you are famous, then I can't see why you wouldn't be after.
And if you're a person who is obsessed with being famous, then I'd say you might well be a bit messed up.

Yet you do get some people who are so driven by a greed for fame for it's own sake that it's such a desperate, obsessive pursuit that can only end in tears. Unless you've got your head screwed on and you have some real solid sense of self, and you're doing something for the right reasons.

Nadia is completely selfish, it was apparent in the BB house with her constant whinging and moodiness. Winning BB has resulted in creating an even bigger monster.

IMO - contemplating suicide because she isn't getting what she wants from life just proves how selfish and self obsessed she really is.

bah - she ought to pull herself together and wake up to what's really happening in the world.

[Irish accent ON] Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, GO ON!!!!! [Irish accent OFF]

If she's a size 10, then I'm a size 2, does she think we are all really stupid (or just those who voted for her??)

I did sympahise with Nadia when she was in the BB house, more fool me. But since don't have an ounze of sympathy for her. Everything is her own doing, she could have done things differently if she had really wanted to. It is how someone decides to react to a situation, as simple as that.

I did wonder how Nadia woulld fare outside the BB house, as she had no obvious talents, also, not her fault. I just can't understand what she is saying half the time either it's so off putting.

Endemol have pushed Nadia in all directions, none of them taking off. What is there left for Nadia to do now ?? Nothing, but maybe to write a biography of her poor misguided life :yawn: We so want to read that, don't we :yawn: :sleep:

Thank goodness BB6 is looming and we will have another pre-ordained Endemol winner to pick apart Bet Meso can't wait

You're words could apply equally to Jade Goody. Nadia & Jade are both overhyped Big Brother 'characters' who rely on an illusion, created by the media, that they are somehow, fascinating,....& entertaining, when in reality they are dull.

Yet another sad chapter in the Poor Nadia™ story. At a time when 150,000 people have tragically lost their lives in the world's greatest natural disaster we have to read how Poor Nadia™can't get a boyfriend! How pathetic...

I feel sorry for all the people that wasted money voting for her.

Aww, I didnt realise you was such a fan of Nadia, hence the searching of her in The Sun!

6 letters

ha ha ha

Why the hell do you feel sorry for the people that voted for Nadia? They voted for her because they wanted too, just like they voted for Jason, Michelle ect - Nadia wasnt the only one in the house.

So the Majority of the people that watched Big Brother, and voted for her, are Stupid

Nope, it would seem that the people who believe she's a Size 10 are stupid.

Whats that I see in brackets then?

I don't see anything in brackets! I was just making an observation that it seems extremely unlikely that Nadia is, in fact, a 10. Yes, she may have lost weight and fair play to her for that, but down to a 10? Not likely.
