"Ziggy Lichman has admitted that he would not have dated Big Brother co-star Chanelle Hayes if he had met her in the outside world. The couple had an on-off relationship in the house last summer and were an item for a few weeks after the show. They split in November and subsequently became embroiled in a war of words in the media. Lichman, 26, told Metro that he would not have become involved with Hayes in different circumstances, saying: &amp;quot;Probably not, let&amp;#039;s be honest. I was missing company and we helped each other on the show.&amp;quot; However, he insisted that the romance had not been a publicity stunt, telling the newspaper: &amp;quot;The whole thing was for real. We lived together straight after. The feelings were real, but I got to see a side of her that wasn\u2019t for me. I knew it wasn\u2019t going to work and I wasn\u2019t right for her either.&amp;quot; He added that he had did not regret speaking out about the couple&amp;#039;s relationship in the press, saying: &amp;quot;They were going to do a story from her side... so I decided to put across my side of the story. If she\u2019d accused me of the things she was planning to say, there was a chance I could have been prosecuted.  &amp;quot;If a girl accuses a guy of being violent they\u2019re under a lot of suspicion, if a girl is violent to a guy it\u2019s brushed off. I wasn\u2019t being wet when I said she was violent to me, I just wanted to make it clear it wasn\u2019t plain sailing.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
