Former āBig Brother Australiaā star Priya Malik has praised current contestant Angela Clancy, and said sheās ānot surprisedā that some viewers have compared the pair for both being outspoken and not afraid of conflict.
Priya, who was the first contestant of Indian heritage to compete on āBig Brother Australiaā back in 2014, said sheās kept across social media commentary on this yearās season while living in India. She noted Angela is āanother strong and independent woman of colourā.
āI havenāt been able to watch Big Brother this year but from whatever I have seen briefly on social media, I am not surprised that people compare me to Angela,ā Priya told HuffPost Australia.
āShe is yet another strong and independent woman of colour who isnāt afraid to speak her mind. More power to her.ā
Kenyan-born Angela was evicted from the house a few weeks ago, but managed to stay in the competition with Big Brother instead inviting her to a multi-day stay in a secret bunker where she would āplot revengeā.
āWhoever nominated me better watch out because Iām going to come back tenfold,ā Angela told HuffPost Australia earlier this month, referring to her stay in the secret bunker.
āIām going to come back like a fireball. I might forgive but I donāt forget.ā
Meanwhile Priya finished in fourth place on the show in 2014.
āBig Brother Australiaā continues at 7:30pm on Channel 7.
