The mum of Big Brother housemate Sophie Readed has admitted that she doesn’t like her new boyfriend Kris Donnelly.

Helen Reade told Heat magazine that she had warned her daughter not to get attached in the house and that she’d like to see the pair break up.

“On the outside world, Sophie wouldn’t go anywhere near him,” Helen explained. “He’s not her type – he seems cocky, a bit of a womaniser. Sophie doesn’t like pretty boys.”

She added: “I’ve heard he’s got a girlfriend on the outside world anyway. What kind of lad isn’t upfront? It doesn’t sound like he’s got much respect for women. If my sons did that, I’d go mad.”

Helen was also annoyed by Kris’s claims to have bedded 140 girls. “I think something like that should be kept private,” she remarked. “I don’t want Kris as a son-in-law!”

Kris shouldn’t plan a visit to Sophie’s home any time soon either, or her brothers may have something to say about it. “They’ve said: ‘He’s not welcome round here’,” Helen added.
