Evicted Big Brother housemate Sree Dasari was hospitalised last week after slashing his wrists in his student halls.
The Indian student, 25, was taken to hospital by paramedics in the early hours of Friday morning after his 'cry for help' at his room at the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield.
Sree hurt himself after reportedly becoming upset while watching the live Big Brother feed on Channel 4, according to The Sun.

During his month on the show, he clasher with teenager Cairon Austin-Hill and window fitter Marcus Akin.

A spokesman at the time said: 'Big Brother intervened and took immediate and appropriate action relating to the argument between Sree and Marcus.
'Marcus received a formal warning following his use of threatening language during the argument.
'Threatening language and behaviour is not acceptable in the house. Big Brother monitors the welfare, language and behaviour of housemates at all times and will continue to monitor this situation.'
Sree's troubles are sure to add to the debate of how responsible reality TV chiefs should be for contestants after they leave.
