Keeley Johnson gets 'thousands' of pounds in compensation
...for breaking her leg in the mouse save and replace task.
Unfortunately the whole story is behind the Sun's paywall, so I can't link to it. If anyone has a Sun there may be further details there. My main memory is of Corin refusing to stop the task because, as she cheerily called out, "I'm sorry, but I HAVE to win this!" - as Keeley lay with a broken leg and Rachel sat and comforted her. Not Corin's finest hour... |

Here's bbspy's report... http://www.bbspy.co.uk/bb15/news/072...s-compensation Quote:
Big Brother bosses later accepted that they were to blame, as the footwear provided as part of her task costume was too big for her size three feet. They have agreed to pay Keeley ‘thousands’ of pounds in compensation, though an exact amount has not been disclosed.
I liked Keeley. Always remember her driving that little car for some sort of superheroes task.

Well her nickname was Polly Pocket.
She must have looked like a munchkin next to Josie.

I remember that task ... it seemed a pretty impossible thing to achieve. Especially for someone as little as her.
I liked Keeley, even though she wasn't in it long (I think she came later in the series, didn't she?) I recall Steve (the ex-soldier who'd lost a leg) seemed pretty taken with her. |

28 seconds in on the video here: http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/tv-news...-eviction-task
It's interesting that the eviction was cancelled that week. |

They lost rather a lot of female housemates that year. Interesting that two of the forums most vilified housemates were the only ones who helped her, whereas forum darlings, Ben and Corin, clearly couldn't have cared less! |

Well my memory is that Keeley was asked if they should stop but she told her to carry on. ( one of us will be right )I quite liked Keeley, and I think it's a pity she wasn't in longer. If I remember rightly on the week which resulted in her injury they decided to retroactively void her nominations after nominations had taken place. In what I'm sure was entirely a coincidence, voiding her nominations just happened to save old Crab Eyes from being up for the public vote that week. |

I don't think you have to be an actual Munchkin to have feet that size.My girlfriend has size 3 feet and my sister in law does. Both are a tad shorter than me. I am 5'2" with clod hopping size 4.5 feet. |

I thought at the time it was quite comical how Corin carried on with the task, and I still do.
I know a lot of people on here hated Save and Replace, but it was, in my opinion, one of the best innovations they introduced. The psychology of it was interesting; "Hurrah, I've just saved myself ... oh, hang on, I've got to name someone, and make an enemy for life". |

Crabeyes had gone all Mitch Buchanan and the last thing she needed was seven or eight of them fighting for Florence Nightingale points.Corin was very apologetic as she continued to scramble madly.

What made it all the more funny was the sight of her frantically scurrying in a spider outfit as if her life depended on it - had it been any other task it wouldn't have had the same comedic effect

I remember that vividly and thought before the task how it would be near to impossible for her. She didn't have a chance. I really liked her, and hoped she stayed there longer.
Random, but looking back, she really reminds me of a character called Hilary on newer series of The Tomorrow People. (Alexa PenaVega). |

Ouch. First time I've ever seen that and I definitely sympathise as I've got a broken ankle myself at the moment.
My friends sister has size 3 feet and she's 5'7" - it's very odd |

I remeber this and thought at the time it was just a sprain.
![]() Loved Corin's oomph in that series. Always up early and groomed to face the day ahead. ![]() She was one of my favourites
