Big Brother's Dexter Koh reveals he suffers from crippling panic attacks after having a gun pointed at his head

Dexter Koh has admitted a holiday ordeal where thugs pointed a gun at the Big Brother’s housemate’s head has left him suffering from nightmares and crippled by panic attacks..

The 28-year-old revealed that the raid, which happened in Portugal, had left him “freaked out” as he tried to explain his ‘guarded’ behaviour on the show.

He recalled: “Some guy got in the car. He had a gun and put it against my head.

“Because I was wearing a suit, they thought I was the one with the money.

“There’s nothing like having a gun in your face though to give you nightmares.

“I was freaked out, my mates saved me.”

The self-styled playby continued: “I was having anxiety attacks a few months ago when all that stuff came out. I remember being at an interview and I couldn’t speak, I was getting agoraphobia.

“I was starting to get OCD. I turned my phone off because I was frightened of it ringing.”

Publicist Dexter, who once blew more than £120,000 on champagne to celebrate winning a six-figure sum at a casino, said he understood why he rubs someone people the wrong way, confessing that even his friends do not really know him.

 “I do have the ability to make people want to carve their own face off,” he said.

“I’m very honest with myself and I’m real.

“People don’t know my background. Even my friends don’t know the real me.”
