In an explosive argument, the former prostitute claimed Brian 'looked like a rapist and a murderer', which left him so upset he needed to speak with the show's resident counsellor.

According to a report in the Daily Star, the Essex-born contestant was so upset he needed help in processing the experience.

'I did see the Big Brother counsellor afterwards,' he said. 'He was the same guy who was the psychologist during my series back in 2007, which was nice.

'Chatting about what happened helped. I'm in a better frame of mind now, but Helen put me through hell with her insults.'

He added that, despite Ofcom receiving more than 2,000 complaints about her, Wood is still making public insults at Brian and his family.

The explosive fight came after Brian scolded Helen for bullying in the BB house after his love interest, Jade, was evicted. 

'You and Mark, you’re a tag team – you’re the gruesome twosome,' he said, to which she replied: 'Oh f**k off. You’re a freak. You think Jade going to be waiting for a tosser like you? 

'You look like a rapist and a murderer'.

Leaving the room, he then went into the Diary Room to speak with BB. 

Bursting into tears, he said: ‘I hate her so much. Her and Marc intimidate people and they are bullies. Now I hate being here. They’re always laughing and sniggering at me. It’s not funny.’

Eventually, Brian left the house and quit the show in protest after escaping over the garden wall.

Grim: 'The two comments I made were wrong and if I could retract them I would. He isn't a murderer and he isn't a rapist'

But, as Brian thinks he may have a legal case against the salon owner, Helen has since clarified her aggressive actions.

'The two comments I made were wrong and if I could retract them I would. He isn't a murderer and he isn't a rapist.

'I do however believe he is unhinged and disturbing, judging from his behaviour towards me which was entirely unprovoked.'
