Former housemate speaks out about new house

Former Big Brother housemate Lisa Huo has spoken about the race row and the new house.

The 28-year-old, who is now working as a plumber, revealed she thinks it is time to move on from the race row executives became embroiled in after this year's Celebrity Big Brother.

She said: "I really, really hope that everyone can just forgive and forget what happened with the Shilpa Shetty race row now. Apologies have been said, and I think Big Brother has apologised enough. People should just let it be what it is - a light-hearted reality show. Big Brother is only going to get bigger and better, despite what people are saying."

Huo said she was worried that the size of the house might cause some problems: "I thought our house was small, so if it is smaller than that then God knows how they'll keep sane. I've seen that they've put the oven in the bedroom and I think that's going to cause a few fights - particularly if someone decides they want to cook some cheese on toast in the middle of the night.

"I think it's been designed like that for more conflict. But the new house looks more fun, with the big beds. I think that will make people buddy up more. Having it so that everyone has to sleep with others will be good. That's why I'm jealous, I suppose."
