BOOED Big Brother housemate Nadia Almada was rushed to hospital after a suicide bid, it was revealed yesterday.
The fragile Portuguese transsexual took an overdose days after saying: "I want to end it all."
Angry rows ... Coolio
famousA pal staying at her council flat found her slumped in her bathroom after she swallowed a mixture of prescription drugs and painkillers.
The friend dialled 999 and 33-year-old Nadia - booed during her eviction from Ultimate BB last Friday - was taken to hospital.
She was kept under observation throughout Wednesday evening until doctors declared her fit enough to return home.
A source close to the reality TV star - runaway winner of BB5 in 2004 - said: "This is a cry for help. She is very unhappy."
Viewers turned against Nadia - born Jorge Leodoro - after she upset BB11 winner Josie Gibson, 25, by criticising her lover John James Parton, 24.
She ranted when she discovered fellow contestant Ulrika Jonsson was being paid five times as much as her.
And she had furious rows with rapper Coolio, leading to him leaving the house by mutual agreement with BB bosses.
She has received hate mail and claimed Channel 4 edited the show unfairly to make her look like a villain.
Later, she said: "I just feel my life isn't worth living any more. I'm in the gutter and completely distraught."
A Big Brother spokeswoman said last night: "We have been in constant touch with Nadia and like all housemates she has access to all of our after care facilities."
