BB bully Alex has her windows smashed and abuse scratched on her car

Former Big Brother Housemate Alexandra De Gale has been targeted by vandals after being sensationally booted off the show.


Alex, 23, rated as the most unpopular housemate in the Channel 4 show's history, had the windows of her house smashed and more abuse daubed on her BMW.

This is the second attack on the fiery single mum's home in Croydon, Surrey.

It was first targeted while she was in the house with vandals keying 'fake', 's***' and 'bitch' on her car.

Vandals struck again yesterday while she was holed up in hiding at a hotel.

A gang of up to half a dozen louts pelted the house with stones and eggs before fleeing.

A police spokesman said: ‘We have received reports of criminal damage and are investigating.’

The attack comes as the former housemate defended her behaviour, claiming that she is a ‘nice person’.

In an interview with Heat magazine Alex insisted she was not a bully and did not intend to intimidate other housemates by talking about her ‘gangsta friends’.

'I am genuinely a nice person,' she said, 'I have been compassionate to people in the house.'

‘Gangsta's a term we use where I come from, to say someone is on your wavelength. I don't mean like a gangstas with a gun. It's just an expression.’

Hundreds of people complained to media watchdog Ofcom about her alleged bullying.

Viewers also saw her being reprimanded by Big Brother after she swore at her fellow housemates after one of them - Rebecca Shiner- burnt some chips.

'I'm a strong character, not a bully. I'm very sensitive about people putting me down, it wasn't the first time she said something to me. But scary?

'That's just me with a hot head on. I would never hurt anyone,' she said of the incident.

She revealed that she has received death threats since her appearance on the reality TV show.

‘But I won't let this destroy me. I'm not sorry for who I am.’

She also admitted that she feared for her seven-year-old daughter's safety.

'I haven’t grasped the full extent of it, but what worries me is my daughter.

'There are nutters out there and I’m not underestimating anyone, but the safest place for her is around me.”

She said that she agreed with the producer’s decision to remove her.

‘I don't feel I threatened anyone but I think it was for the best.

‘Seeing what's been written I don't know whether I would have been strong enough to come out to boos.

‘But I don't agree with Big Brother removing me. I was misinterpreted, misunderstood.
