French Big Brother star kills himself because "he could not cope with no longer being famous''

A reality TV show contestant evicted from a Big Brother-style house in France has killed himself because he 'could not re-adjust to life in the outside world'.

Francois-Xavier Leuridan walked in front of a car on a main road after suffering depression because he could not re-adjust to real life, it was reported.

Fellow house-mates said the 22-year-old had spent two years 'trying to cope with no longer being famous' after being voted off the Secret Story reality show, produced by TV production giant Endemol, in 2009.

Leuridan had released a pop single and launched a line of clothing over the past 18 months, but both ventures flopped and he vanished from the public eye.

 His death has now sparked accusations that fame-hungry contestants do not receive sufficient psychological after-care following a spell in the reality TV spotlight. More...
