animal crackers

[chance]

Makosi has been busy deciding what animals the Housemates were in their past lives.

She has always insisted she was an elephant in a previous life, but tonight she delved into the group's animal pasts.

Roberto at first appeared as a lion, but Makosi thought his colouring was "more cheetah". Derek was quickly labelled a giraffe because of his "tall personality".

Kemal - a monkey - soon got in on the act and matched Sam up with a rabbit and Vanessa with a polar bear. Craig posed a bit of a problem though.

"I think I'm a cat," the hairdresser suggested. "Cos I'm loving yet hostile," he explained.

But Makosi and Kemal weren't convinced and instead plumped for a hippo that acts like a cat. "Why?" shrieked an offended Craig. "Cos I'm overweight?"

Maxwell wasn't too pleased with his animal alter ego either. Saskia had just been matched with a white tiger, when Kemal decided Maxwell was a frog.

"Why am I a frog and she's a tiger? What you talking about?" yelled the irate Londoner.

Science sniggered, "Well, you look like a toad."

Actually, there is a slight resemblance...
