I thought it was very odd when she said to Helen wtte "When we get out I will tell you why I can't show emotion".

He won't be abl to do that when he arrives on the doorstep if rumours are true

I never put all the blame on Helen I said " I was shocked when Helen said to destroy them"

I expected Helen and pretty much any person in the house (if asked by Steven or Kim for their opinion) to say look its nothing to get upset over.
Just put the photos away and forget about them. It is not a big deal.

I also said that Kim was pathetic to give in to Steven.

She she should have told him to F off.

^^^^^^^^^^^ A thousand percent this ^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's not the *images* we're talking about here ... it's the symbolism of what he has manipulated her to do. 'Cutting out' or 'cutting up' in this instance, part of her life. As someone who has first hand experience of a man like Steven I would advise Kim to get on the first plane back to the USA as soon as she gets out.

Just watching on catch up and I cannot believe Helen gave that advice!

I still have photos of my ex. I'm happily with someone else but those photos represent an important part of my life and we had good times as well as bad. The photos are tucked away in photo albums / drawers and not out in my other halves face. Also my other half would never have asked me to rip any photos up. If he ever did, he'd get a huge f*ck off!

Very strange behaviour from Steve, Kim and Helen. Bizarre. I actually feel a bit sorry for Kim. Steve is a proper control freak. Scary.

Steven , seemingly, is exhibiting weird behaviour ...............................is Kimberly going to get the victim treatment I wonder.

Yes I agree,its all about the control. It will be many things that he will find fault with and Kim being on the back foot trying to appease him.

I was more shocked Helen told her to do it than Kim actually doing it. I thought Helen would say of course you don't cut them up but give them to BB or something.

Kimberly asked for her advice. Given that Helen, unlike the viewers, hasn't been privy to all their mumbled private chats where Steven has demonstrated his control freakery, she was going by what she thought after the one chat she DID witness.

I know that and 100% agree and believe me I know what men like Steven are like I had to go and see my Mum in hospital more than once because my Dad was just a little to handy with his fists in fact seeing him hit my Mum is my very first memory

He will be going through it Deleting them all, and the same with her Instagram.

They were Polaroids witch means unless she scanned them or photographed them they are gone!

I thin Steven is a control freak who would easily lose his temper and hit Kim out in the realcworld.

Absolutely !!
If Steven felt secure he wouldnt need to tell her to get rid of them either.

I've got a boxful of ex's photos lol

Awww, I'm sorry you had to deal with that. My ex never laid a hand on me, however he was a manipulative, lying bully who casued so much chaos around us that I could never think straight. It's taken the last 5 years for my memory to start coming back in dribs and drabs, and to get over the brainwashing. At last I can think straight. After I finally managed to divorce him he waged an harassment campaign against me, tried to ruin me financially, LOADS of stuff far too numerous to mention here. Police involved loads of times, including a harassment warning and an injunction. He wouldn't sign to sell the former family home 3 times (eventually had to go to court and the court sold it) but when it had gone I then moved across the country to get away from him. It is THAT serious when you get involved with a ps***o**th (can't mention the word - got a ban once)

I was surprised they were polaroids since he is a photographer, surely a polaroid would be a no no. So what? Well it smacks of last minute quick pics for a fake bf maybe?

I agree. She also had the right attitude when she was telling him she's known her 'ex' for nearly 4 years.

Why her and Helen decided cutting up those photos was ok, is beyond me

What a scary thought ........you can just see it can't you?

I hope she wakes up to this before she comes out of the house. Steven's behaviour is waaaaaaaay over the top - very unacceptable. The only positive in this whole business is that he's only 22. If he is humiliated and his ridiculous controlling behaviour is flagged up to him on TV programme with thousands of viewers it might (I won't hold my breath) help him to address his issues.

Kim needs to extricate herself from him ASAP and not allow him to play mind games with her.

Steven's not going to be able to get rid of all the pics and vids online...he's going to go into meltdown when he sees those.

If I were BB I'd have a gallery set up to 'expose' Kim and Danielle's 'art'!!

It makes me wonder what he'll say next.
"Your family don't like me, it really upsets me when you speak to them ....." It's rarely a direct order; not at first.

I'm aware this may all be a bizarre set-up, btw. Surely all those top psychologists they employ would have hung up warning flags by now.

I've been married to Mr Zeebub for nearly 26 years and we still occasionally get pictures of exes out and accidentally leave them on display for a laugh.

Run away ladies, run away!

That's exactly what I meant by this thread. It usually starts off with little things doesn't it. "Your top is too low, are you sure you want to wear that?"
"Your friends are too loud, I just don't want other people thinking you're like that."

Nip crap like this in the bud, even if it means dumping the bloke (sometimes woman). Like I said, do you want a boss or a partner?

Totally agree. They are part of your life memories. Everyone is allowed a past and everyone is allowed personal memories. I was so shocked she did that. The cynic in me does wonder if this is all an act though. They were Polaroid pics, could easily have been taken just before they went in the house. The way Kim is behaving is quite bizarre. She is allowing a man to guilt trip her and emotionally blackmail her live on tv.

These 'types' can't be helped .... they do not think they are doing anything wrong, and it's not a mental issue - it's can't be treated.

Just mentioned that. It all seems odd doesn't it.
