Channel 5 decided to bring in a specialist for the 29-year-old after she had a conversation with Deana Uppal about how "low" and "very depressed" she was feeling.
"When I go low, I go low," Shievonne told Deana.
"I was crying hysterically. I've had the worst three days of my life. I've been on suicide watch."
However, after speaking with Big Brother, Shievonne played down her comments, claiming that the suicide comment was "flippant".
A rep for the show said: "Channel 5 takes its duty of care towards all housemates very seriously. We are satisfied that Shievonne can continue to participate in the show."
Either Shievonne or Conor McIntyre will be evicted from the reality show tomorrow evening.
