    Big Brother star Tilly Whitfield has revealed how her attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [ADHD] helped her on the show.

    Tilly also explained how her diagnosis made it difficult for her to concentrate during school.

    ‘In school, I found it so hard to concentrate,’ she said.

    ‘I did really well in my Higher School Certificate and at uni, but people don’t realise the trouble ADHD can cause in daily life. To do an assignment takes every bone in my body – it’s so hard to sit still.’

    Tilly’s interview comes after she revealed how an at-home acupuncture treatment went terribly wrong, leaving her with facial injuries. 

    Tilly had attempted to self-administer acupuncture after watching somebody do it on TikTok, but warned fans to leave such procedures to the professionals.

    She decided to open up about the incident after Big Brother fans kept asking why she was wearing a blue clay face mask on the Channel Seven show.

    ‘This is what my face looked like a week prior to entering the house hence why I always have makeup on and my skin is always covered,’ she wrote on Instagram, alongside confronting images of her facial injuries.

    ‘This is the result of attempting to remove scarring I inflicted on myself trying to replicate an at-home beauty procedure I saw on a TikTok video two months before Big Brother,’ she added.

    ‘Please, please don’t try and DIY or at-home beauty procedures. I ended up in hospital with temporary loss of vision in my eye due to swelling and was very sick from the infection, not to mention my face was somewhat unrecognisable.’
