Or smelt bacon

Sadly that's what many people say about dyslexics and cruelly diminish their confidence even further.. Guess what? They're not thick at all.

Years ago ? she only stopped because her daughter told her to or she would move out. That was around a year ago.

Yes she's definitely got a touch of the delusional about her. I thought she was completely over the top tonight and desperate for attention. Very sad really.

I watched the clips of the doc after seeing them linked here.

I didn't get the sense that she maliciously "only cares about herself", more that it was all more proof of just how damaged she is.

What kind of a life has someone had to have had to lack basic skills, think their looks are their only asset and think they're only able to make money from their body? Not to mention have such a warped view of the world that they try to pass that view onto their daughter?

I felt sorry for Georgia but I got the impression that even she understood her mum has some serious issues and meant well.

I also think the fact that she has since stopped the kiss & tells, reversed some of the surgery and tried to start her own business means that perhaps she got a little perspective on her life after that doc and has tried to turn things around.

She doesn't display any maliciousness in her demeanour. She may not be the brightest spark but I honestly believe anyone who thinks she is purposefully stupid or did those things to her daughter on purpose is misreading the situation.

She has the brain of a child, she sees the world like a child and i don't mean that in an insulting way but its the reason why she gets upset when she's nominated, its what a child does.

I feel for her to be honest and i'd rather spend time with her than some of the vile and bitter people in that house.

Absolutely this.

I'm dyslexic too...and I know my alphabet. Alicia is thick AND dyslexic - they don't go hand in hand.

I feel bad for her, she's obviously had issues and she deserves support from those around her.

You have no idea what sort of home life she came from, she may never have had the opportunity to go to school properly.

I took it to mean she was on about Pentagons and Octagons etc, not circles n squares etc.

How is she stupid?

I'd say quite the opposite if she managed to go through life without any (seemingly) formal education and carve out a career.

And the likes of Katie Hopkins just sits there pulling faces at/about her.

Again people confusing knowledge with intelligence (you'd expect intelligent people to know the difference )

Yeah she did reference octagons

Did Alicia not go to school? I don't understand how she doesn't know the alphabet and shapes. Come on, that's damn right unsual!

Having said that every time she opened her mouth and started revealing things about herself like the above i was like please shut up and don't say anything because you just know it's going to be used as ammunition for the ones who don't like you in there like Cami-Li and Katie H. You could just tell from their conversation they're going to bring it up and use it as shit to throw at her.

Even a dyslexic can identify basic shapes.

Its also disturbing how she is home-schooling her youngest child.

Not a very responsible decision from someone if they know they have learning difficulties .

Her youngest is 3 for gawds sake.

The fake laughing in the kitchen was a bit much though.

To be honest if she is that Fragile yet again the evaluation tests for entry are woeful.
I found her comments about breasts utterly disgusting. Mums had breast cancer lost most of her breast but is still a woman for her to be that insensitive that thinking breast = being a woman is quite frankly scary.

Okay something she said has affected me personally but until tonight I didn't realise why the others had issues tonight I can well see why others are getting pissed off being around her.

that being said they can get the points across without acting like Mean Girls The Reunion

Fake thick

Great post - well said

No she hasn't fully address it ,just got a diagnosis for it and using that as a screen so she can continue her 'cuckoo 'thinking .she really needs to sort out her head , then her body will fall into line,yes she is damaged , but she's still secretly searching for something she should be steering well clear of . Poor girl I wish her the best

I can see why she irritates; example, callum doesn't like her, she knows callum doesn't like her but she still keeps trying for his attention when most people would read the signals and back off.

It depends on the level of dyslexia. Many people certainly can't until they learn coping strategies. This is 3year old she is home schooling? But bash away.

True. It's probably because her self-esteem is so low. I think that's why she's hyper-sensitive about being nominated. Although tonight she may have been jusitifed at being upset at Katie Price. KP said she knew Alicia wanted to go home, when in fact she had told her she desperately needs money.

I don't see how the age is relevant. Any stage of a child's education is crucial and should not be the sole responsibility of someone who doesn't have the faculty to understand even basic Math and Literacy.

If anything, being younger is worse because that is when the child is more impressionable.

She seems to think that nobody should nominate her, and must save her at any given opportunity. She's certainly spitting her dummy out at Katie P (BBOTS).
