The third child is most likely her partner

Sure they might have the "I'm doing this to give my child a better life" excuse all pencilled out but I don't buy that for a second. They ate doing it for themselves.

I instantly lose respect for a HM if I learn that they have young children and just left them.”

I think that's really judgemental. You have no idea what arrangements are in place for the child/children. Lots of people have to work far away from home for long periods and leave their children. Do you lose respect for them too?

Some parents can leave their kids, some can't. It doesn't make her Cruella de Vil just because she's gone into the house. It's a personal decision and I'm not going to sit in judgement. Plenty of parents have to work away from time to time.

Oh come on! There's a difference between people working away from home or fathers going overseas with the armed forces etc and those who choose to leave their kids and go on Big Brother.

Let's not pretend that every single person who goes on Big Brother doesn't want a slice of fame. Of course they do. And let's not pretend that they want it to give their kids a better life - of course they don't. They want a bit of fame for themselves.

They are putting their own 5 mins of fame before spending quality time with their children.

And I agree with the sentiment that some kids are better off without their parents in their lives - but that is not what I'm getting at.

Sorry, I don't care if I sound judgemental. And I'll bet there are those who agree with me and just don't want to say for fear of being labelled 'judgemental' too.

Lastly, yes I do have a child of my own. And to the person who asked if I spend every waking moment with her - no of course I don't. I work, she goes to nursery, sometimes she stays with friends/grandparents etc. That is NOT the same as me leaving her for potentially 10 weeks to find 'fame' on a TV show.

I'm happy to agree

I think anyone who goes on BB is an incredibly selfish individual and yes those who have young children, particularly of school age are at the top of the list.

This show can cripple your life and your families.
Very few come off looking good and anyone that enters that house is taking a gamble with their own future and all their loved ones.

Has Jade got a little boy?

Noticed the other day where someone linked her F/B page a picture of a 5/6 year old boy she had bought trainers for, could be a nephew/friend's boy/brother.

Can't be her son as Adjoa asked her if she had any kids and she said no.

I dont know how some people can up and leave their kids for a tv show. I know past housemates have done it and now I hear Sarah has left her 4 year old for a possible 3 months if she stays in that long that isnt right
