Katie Hopkins has hinted that she has her own private bedroom in the Celebrity Big Brother 2015 house – although Channel 5 is refusing to confirm the arrangement.

During the live streaming on launch night, Katie was heard telling housemates not to account for her as they allocated the beds.

“I’m not here, I’m not here,” she was heard saying. “I can go and be on my own.”

Alicia Douvall added: “She’s got her own bed.”

As a result it’s thought that Katie has a private area to sleep in, but a C5 spokesperson refused to clarify this when approached by bbspy, saying: “No comment.”

Bosses are believed to have given the 39-year-old her own quarters as she suffers from epilepsy, which causes her to have seizures while she is sleeping.

Speaking last September, she said: “My night time fits remain uncontrolled. My epilepsy sometimes dislocates my arms in the night. It has done 28 times in the past 12 months.”

Since arriving in the house, Katie has explained her condition to her fellow housemates, saying of a sceptical Calum Best: “I’d have to lie next to him in fits for him to believe me.”

She also had a frank discussion with Perez Hilton, in which she revealed: “I just wake up, go back to sleep, wake up, go back to sleep with my little fit things.

“Since twenty, it just came on. That’s how a lot of people get it, a bang to the head, but mine’s just missing a bit of brain. That might be apparent right? I’ve seen the bit missing, I’ve seen the scan. It’s really freaky.”

Katie isn’t the first famous Big Brother participant to have had her own room, with Pamela Anderson having retired to a private space each night during her guest appearance in the twelfth civilian series in 2011.

La Toya Jackson also had a private bedroom during the sixth Celebrity series in 2009 – but hers was fitted with cameras.

Earlier today, CBB bosses drew criticism from fans for allowing Katie to continue writing her newspaper column inside the house.
