I don’t care that Kerry is disabled – she’s lazy, fake and was jealous of me from the start, claims Big Brother’s Farida
EVICTED Big Brother star Farida has insisted she has “no regrets” about calling her disabled housemate “lazy”.
The outspoken businesswoman, 50, doubled-down on her controversial comments about MS-suffering Kerry, who uses a mobility scooter in the house.
“Kerry, I would say, is a lazy one,” said Farida in the Diary Room last week.
“She’s no help with washing up, drying or cutting the vegetables.”
It sparked fury from fans accusing her of “ableism” against Kerry, whose multiple sclerosis means she suffers from tiredness, vision problems and problems with walking.
The rivals went head to head in the first public vote on Friday night, with Farida becoming the first to be booted out.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Farida said: “I don’t regret calling her lazy because I’ve worked with lots and lots of children and many other people with various different disabilities.
“I understand she’s got a condition, but her favourite pastime is just to talk and talk and talk and socialise.
“I’ve worked with people who have been in wheelchairs and they still manage.”
The pair clashed throughout their week as housemates – with Farida taking exception to Kerry being promoted in a task.
Kerry, 40, was then blasted for appearing to poke fun at Farida’s successful business as a make-up artist.
Farida told us: “She’s just absolutely jealous, isn’t she?
“That’s the way I see it.
“I will not be sorry. I’ve worked freaking hard to hustle.”
Farida has also slammed Kerry as “fake” after she created a narrative against her in the house.
“It’s not because I’ve got it in for her, but having come out I’ve just realised that she’s the one who created all that about me being fake and it’s just a reflection of yourself.”
Big Brother continues at 9pm on ITVX.
