WE love it, don't we, destroying someone who has the audacity to be successful, despite the worst upbringing possible.

The rich and well-to-do hate Jade because she is so common and the common hate her because they are jealous and it means they have no excuse for doing nothing with their lives.

The biggest culprit in this sad affair is Big Brother for knowing exactly what would happen by bringing Jade, her boyfriend, Jack, and her mother, Jackiey, into the house. They manipulated the situation, knowing Jackiey would never shut up and the influence she had over Jade. She had no chance, especially with the silly twosome, Jo and Danielle.

I am not making excuses but I feel desperately sorry for Jade because, unlike the silly twosome, she has overcome a deprived childhood and made a success of her life until now.

Whoever advised Jade to go into the Big Brother house should either be sacked or dropped by her.

As for the bullying by Jade, obviously there is no excuse for it. But hasn't she paid for her mistake by the hounding she has received? I have never seen so many articles vilifying her, calling her names and especially the cruel cartoons drawn of her. It went on day after day. I would consider this to be bullying and harassment.

For goodness sake, we get it, now give it a rest and move onto some other poor sucker!
