I can understand why it's so big but it looks ridiculous when only one housemate sits in it. It makes them look like Ronnie Corbett!......

Maybe they ran out of money and did not re-decorate behind it from last year ?!?

that's a point. It could be covering up a big hole!

Or a secret passage/stairway...

Let's see how many people actually get onto it at one time this year. Last year they managed about 4, and it was more or less a normal sized chair.

They can proably fit all 13 housemates in that chair.

Yet strangely enough - with just Craig and Makosi it looked cramped :|

It doesn't look that big when Lesley's in it.

lmao - they made it so it was possible for her to sit there.

well she does have big flabby thighs, or as Albert Steptoe would say, a great big pair of walnut crushers!
