She made enemies inside and outside the Big Brother house but now a mystery admirer has spared controversial Kitten a return to court.

The reality show contestant, real name Kathryn Pinder, has had her £225 court fines paid off by an anonymous donor.

Kitten, the first person to be evicted from this year's Big Brother house, was given the parking fines last Wednesday by Brighton magistrates.

But a court receipt was posted through the letterbox of her home in Grand Parade, Brighton, on Saturday, saying her four fines had been paid.

Her mystery benefactor's generosity surprised 24-year-old Kitten, who had become unpopular because of her rebellious antics on Big Brother, including a rooftop protest.

She told The Argus: "I have no idea who has done this. At first I thought it was my flatmate. I said 'Thanks for doing that' and she replied 'I don't know what you are talking about'.

"I asked around some other friends and nobody knew anything about it.

"To whoever has paid this, I'm very grateful. It will save me appearing in court again. I had been given six weeks to pay but now I won't have to bother.

"I don't know whether it is an individual or a company. Whoever has paid - thanks."

She had used her court appearance last Wednesday to criticise Tony Blair, before being told to be quiet by magistrates.

Kitten claimed she could not afford to pay the fines because she had left university £15,000 in debt from student loans.

She did, however, sell her story to a national tabloid for £15,000 after leaving Big Brother.

Yesterday she hit out at newspaper reports she had been claiming £55 a week in Jobseekers' Allowance in the run-up to Big Brother.

She said: "I have only claimed Job Seekers Allowance for a short time - it may have only been for a month - and that was way before I applied to go on Big Brother.

"I have claimed housing benefit but that was genuine. It is outrageous someone is allegedly accusing me of making fraudulent claims."
