Lisa in legal battle over sacking

Day 20, 22:56 BST - by Dave West

Lisa launched unfair dismissal proceedings against her old employer just weeks before entering the house.

Contrary to her claim to be an "upholsterer" she was apparently sacked from her job in Lancashire furniture factory Olympia Furnishings earlier this year and decided to go to an employment tribunal immediately.

The company's managing director Steve Carroll said the case had been delayed by her time on Big Brother. He said: "The tribunal is an ongoing issue between the company and the girl herself."

"As I understand it, we have had a letter from her solicitor saying she may well not be available until September, which is presumably when this thing could end."

The stroppy childish idiot was probably sacked for a good reason if her behaviour in the house is anything to go by

I heard from a colleague that they had an employee that they sacked a few weeks ago. The girl was called Lisa and she did say that she was going to be a BB housemate and would ruin the company. The reason she was sacked was that she was eating food in a buffet type canteen, you know where you line up with a tray etc. but she was doing the 'have a bite then put it back' routine. She allegedly got caught doing it and then was reprimanded by the 'dinner lady'. She was supposed to have said to the dinner lady " I hope your kids get cancer and die".

This is complete heresay but it's a bit odd that I've read it here but was told of this the day after she entered the house.
