Celebrity Big Brother fans turn on show favourite saying ‘she’s so fake and scripted’
CELEBRITY Big Brother fans have turned on show favourite Donna Preston, saying ‘she’s so fake and scripted’.
Despite initially being one of the more popular housemates, actress and comedian Donna, 38, has faced growing criticism online.
Following last night’s episode, Reddit users have claimed her behaviour feels overly rehearsed and calculated.
One wrote on the platform: “I still don’t think we have seen the real Donna. There is something about her that just does not feel real.
“Even the way she talks its like shes reading a script. I just feel everything she does shes desperately trying to get a few memes on loveofhuns etc.”
Someone else said: “I do like her and she makes me giggle sometimes but she’s definitely constantly in comedian work mode. Even her nominations are a bit of a joke.”
A third agreed: “I can never tell if shes being genuine or just constantly doing a bit – it’s jarring.”
But someone else shot back with: “This is what I love about her lol. Different strokes I guess.”
One more agreed: “I think Donna has a very dry sense of humour that goes over a lot of people’s heads, she’s one of my favourite HMs.”
Donna is best known as the face of Tracey from Hey Tracey!, Joel Dommett‘s eccentric game show.
She also discusses relationships and dating on her podcast, Dating The Dildo With Donna Preston.
Last week, Donna entered the Celebrity Big Brother house alongside stars including Mickey Rourke, Patsy Palmer, Jack P. Shepherd and Trisha Goddard.
Within days, she had found herself in the headlines – but through no fault of her own.
CBB fans watched in shock as Hollywood actor Mickey appeared to ‘fat-shame’ Donna as she relaxed on her bed while wearing an LED mask.
When Mickey asked her if she was seeing any results, she told him she had only been using the mask for a few months.
“You’d probably be better off running round the block for ten minutes,” he responded.
“I’ve got to try something, ” Donna added. “I’m getting a little turkey neck.”
Mickey told her: “It comes with the territory.”
Confused, Donna asked: “What, life?”
“Yeah,” Mikey replied, adding: “It’s like they say, you are what you eat.”
Clearly thrown, Donna nodded before Patsy stuck up for her, saying: “You eat really healthy though, don’t you?”

“I do now, yeah, very healthy” Donna replied.
Later, when she left the bedroom, Donna expressed her disbelief to Danny Beard and Ella Rae Wise.
Although she laughed, she was clearly stunned as she recounted the conversation she had with Mickey.
After repeating his ‘You are what you eat’ comment, Danny mused: “You what, did he think you were gonna lose half a f***ing stone just by putting an LED mask on?”
Mickey has since been removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house following a threatening rant at Chris Hughes.
