Holly said: “Being on [Big Brother] Either you become really famous or you are financially rewarded.”
“Well, I definitely haven’t been rewarded financially after that show,” Alison told Holly, 41.
Alison used to work at a cinema in Birmingham, but they refused to give her back her old job.
She continued, “I wanted to go back. At the time, I had a movie job. But they said, ‘No, I can’t go back. “”

“I was too famous,” Alison told Holly.
She added: “I was too famous and they said I would take away the fact that people just want to go to the cinema and it would be too busy.
“And I was like, ‘Can’t I just go make the hot dogs in the back?
“They said, ‘Alison, let’s see what it’s like in a month and then give us a call.’
“I didn’t have a job. I said I’m going to have to register for this period while I’m not working.”
