Saffia slams Big Brother’s boredom
|
Self-ejected Big Brother housemate Saffia has spoken of her time in the house, and how mind-numbingly dull it was.
Speaking to her local rag Hucknall Dispatch (Heat magazine must have lost out on the exclusive), she spoke about the boredom in the same vein ex-cons talk about their time in choky: “You could have a mental breakdown in there. It wrecks your head. There is absolutely nothing to do."
The beauty consultant, whose short time in the house will be remembered for her feud with the spiteful short-stuff Sophia, also talked about how she, Charlie and Kris would have to make up games to kill the dead time: “Your mind goes numb.”
We don’t doubt it – I Spy might be able to kill an hour long train journey but three months locked in a house is stretching it. Single mum Saffia also touted claustrophobia as another house evil:
“The house is very small, much smaller than it looks on TV. You just cannot get away from anything or anyone.”
It wasn’t just the lack of action and space that did her head in – the food rationing also contributed to her doldrums disposition. “People would just eat what they wanted,” she said. “There was nothing in the cupboards. It was really difficult. You flip over the slightest thing."
What the flaming heck were you expecting, Saffia? A three-month holiday in Disneyland with a free food pass and a private jet flying your mates in and out? Honestly, some people…
