More on the Pig drama in the BBUK house from the Official BBA website

A storm in a Piggygate

Ugandan Gaetano had no idea what he was letting himself in for when he made an innocent remark about the eating habits of one of the female BBUK Housemates. As Tania, dubbed the drama queen by the UK public, helped herself to a large plate of food, Gae said 'My, but you are a little piggy.' Tania was shocked and took a few moments before she could decide on her reaction. Gae tried to make it better by saying, 'I don't mean it in a bad way, but you eat a lot.' This didn't help. She found it amazing that he'd just met her, but still he was 'confident enough to call me a little piggy!'

Gae tried to cover his tracks again by saying that 'She's a woman who enjoys her food.' At that, one of the other Housemates, Gos, tried to get the two to hug. But nothing was going to stop Tania from having her Big Moment. 'Shut up now, because I am going to cry.' With that, Tania stomped off to the girls' bedroom, woke up her friend Steph, and she began to do as she said. She worked herself up to a scene worthy of Lady Macbeth: 'I'm not staying in the House with him. I really want to get out of this House!'

This morning the mood was very chilly between the two of them. Tania started to warm to her cold shoulder approach to Gae and made a dramatic vow: 'I'm glad he said it because I'm not eating. I had a banana, I'm having a salad for lunch and I'm having salad for *****ing dinner too!'

Later they had an attempt at pleasantries about the weather, but Tania left her smile outside when she told Steph that he was 'a little sh*t!' BBA's Psychologist, Jaques Schutte did say that Gaetano would stir the complacency of the BBUK Housemates, but I wonder if he knew it would take such a little piggy remark to cause such a lot of poo.
