Lisa Wallace has told her fellow housemates that she was attacked by a tiger as a child.

The 41-year-old said: “The back of my leg is false. Did you not notice today?”

She explained that when she was a child she was standing with her back to the tiger enclosure at the zoo, when one took a swipe at her.

“It ripped the whole back of my leg off because you know the gap, it was open a bit,” she explained.

“Scared of tigers now,” the Brummie added before she giggled at their faces.
