Chanelle Hayes pictured outside The Priory

Big Brother 8 contestant Chanelle Hayes has been pictured outside The Priory clinic.

The glamour model was hospitalised earlier this month after reportedly downing a cocktail of painkillers and wine following an argument with her footballer boyfriend Matthew Bates.

Following the incident, she vowed to get help for her problems.

The Daily Star has now pictured her wearing a "dowdy" blue velour tracksuit, with her hair scraped back and no make-up.

The newspaper claimed that there was "something staged" about her entrance, as she walked past the rehab centre's sign four times before photographers noticed.

Chanelle was a contestant on the show in 2007, but walked out after 61 days due to tensions with her fellow housemates.
