Viewers saw her win an automatic spot in the Big Brother final on Friday evening, but Helen Wood reportedly had a 'meltdown' earlier in the day after accusing producers of making her look manly.
The 27-year-old, who previously boasted of enjoying a threesome with married footballer Wayne Rooney, was said to have been horrified by her official publicity shot, taken ahead of her grand entrance at the Elstree compound on Thursday evening and hung in the Big Brother lounge.
Sources claim Helen accused the Channel 5 show of intentionally picking an unflattering snap that emphasized her strong jawline.

Fuming: Big Brother contestant Helen Wood is said to be mortified by her 'manly' publicity shot for the popular Channel 5 show
The salon owner reportedly made a beeline for the Diary Room, where she railed against the offending shot – because it made her 'look like Michael Jackson.'
'Helen was very angry and wanted to put a lid on this straight away,' a show insider told the Daily Star. 'It can't have been pleasant for her.'
The Bolton based contestant is thought to have been the target of past abuse regarding her sharply defined facial features.
Helen suffered further problems on Friday after discovering someone had peed on the toilet seat shortly before she went to use it.
The business owner previously hit the headlines in 2010 following an alleged fling with England ace Rooney.
She is expected to spill his sex secrets during her time in the house – which her family fear will have a negative effect on the footballer's performance during the World Cup in Brazil.
The brunette is one of the first ten housemates who entered the Big Brother house and she claimed that she wanted the public to get to know her now rather than make their impressions from what they knew about her before.
On Friday evening she became the first contestant in Big Brother's 14-year history to win an pass to the final when fellow contestant Pauline Bennett, a former rapper, gave her an automatic bye.
