Galloway attacks his Big Bro housemates
Tuesday 24 January 2006
George was furious at Chantelle and Preston for living in luxury in a private room, that they had been allowed to use as part of their last task.
"If I'd have been called in there I would have stood ramrod straight, refused to sit down, refused to eat, refused to drink, refused to smoke," he said.
Chantelle explained that they were just playing a game, adding: "Well, I really wish you'd done the task instead of us then."
George also attacked Preston, after hearing him talk about the other housemates when his private conversations with Chantelle were broadcast to the rest of the house on a plasma screen.
"You're a sneak and a liar and you're exposed to the world as a sneak and a liar," the politician said. "You float around promiscuously - stroking, metaphorically or literally, everybody's ass to protect your own. We saw on the screen your real character portrayed for all to see. And that's my last word."
When Preston tried to defend himself, George said: "Pipe down, Mr Indignation. We'll see what the viewers thought of your double standard."
George also had a go at former friend Michael Barrymore, saying: "You never let anyone speak. Now you're going to let me speak."
"I was close to you, Dennis was close to you, and you stabbed both of us over your mania for hoarding cigarettes. You're a real cigarette addict and you ought to address the fact that you've no loyalty to anybody." He then branded him "the most selfish, self-obsessed person" he had ever met.
Barrymore replied: "You're going to be sorry for what you said to the kids, and you're going to be sorry for what you started here tonight."
