Megan McKenna was seeking help for anger management before she joined the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house.

The 'Ex on the Beach' star had reportedly booked therapy sessions to curb her short temper before she entered the infamous abode just over a week ago but she was forced to cancel at the last minute due to work commitments.

A spokesperson for the reality TV star told the Mirror Online: "Megan knows anger management is a problem for her and she was already taking positive steps to address this before going into the 'CBB' house with her first session due to take place just before the new year, but unfortunately this had to be moved due to her heavy workload."

The brunette beauty, 23, has tried so hard to keep a lid on her anger since being inside the house but her fellow contestants saw a different side to her last night (14.01.16) when she verbally attacked John Partridge and made a racist comment directed at Tiffany Pollard following a few too many drinks, sleep deprivation and lack of food.

Her spokesperson explained: "Megan losing her temper is obviously regrettable and I know she would have been extremely upset when she woke up yesterday. In this case, Megan had not eaten anything. She then consumed too much alcohol which triggered her anger."

Megan was given a formal warning last night after she had to be restrained by security following her foul-mouthed outburst and aggressive behaviour.
