Saffia Corden, 27, of reality show Big Brother UK fame has been criticized after saying that she left behind two children, including a baby for a shot at fame on Big Brother. The show could last 13 weeks for Saffia.

Claude Knights, director of children’s charity Kidscape, criticised her actions.

Corden wept as she admitted that she had left her baby son Albie and daughter Millie, 7, in the care of family.
She said, “I feel guilty being here and leaving the kids,”

A friend defended Saffi in the Daily Mail;
“She is doing the programme for her children to help give them a better future.

‘Saffia is a very genuine person and is a great mother and is devoted to her two little ones.

‘She’s a really good single mum who works hard to earn money for her children.

‘She’s had all her family and friends help her with the both of them but she made sure they never went without anything herself.’

Last night Saffia Corden was given pictures of her children by Big Brother as a special treat.
In a conversation with housemate Charlie just moments before she had said: ‘I just want my pictures, that’s all I want.’

She was then called to the diary room and returned a short while later clutching two pictures of the youngsters, which she showed to Noirin, Kris and Charlie, Big Brother housemates.

‘He’s got her eyes,’ noted Noirin, as she exclaimed: ‘I can’t believe it. I’m just so happy. I’m touched.’

Prior to entering the house, said she would miss her children ‘immensely’ but considered Big Brother to be be ‘her time’.

Her two children are from different fathers and she has previously described men as, ‘just sperm donors’.
