'Chanelle's a pyscho'

BB Ziggy reveals shocking secret truth about affair with Chanelle

By Dan Wootton

BIG Brother star Ziggy Lichman branded his ex-lover Chanelle Hayes an "absolute psycho", adding: "If we'd stayed together she could have killed me."

But if he tried to leave her, the Posh Spice wannabe would threaten SUICIDE—and even slashed her wrists after one row.

Ex-model Ziggy said: "I've been living a hell for the last two months. But it's over and I'll never go back."

In an exclusive interview—and a tape he made to tell his side of the story—he confessed how the troubled 20-year-old:

SCRATCHED him so hard during sex that blood ran down his back.

SLAPPED his face in a restaurant because she thought he hadn't talked to her enough over dinner.

LOBBED glasses and a wine bottle at him during a holiday.

SLUGGED him in a taxi—leaving him with a black eye.

MESSED with his head by saying she could not have kids then leaving a pregnancy testing kit in their room.

Last week Chanelle, whose prostitute mum was murdered when she was a baby, declared in a newspaper that she and Ziggy had split.

Ripped

"But we are adults, and I feel the time has come when she needs to start taking some responsibility for the way she behaves."

Before Big Brother, ex-Northern Line singer Ziggy was linked with Suzanne Shaw, Abi Titmuss, Natasha Hamilton and other celeb girls.

He fell for Chanelle almost as soon as he clapped eyes on her in the house.

The couple were nicknamed "Chiggy"—then millions of viewers saw her walk out without saying goodbye, leaving him in tears.

But three days after his exit from the Channel 4 show, they had sex for the first time. Ziggy recalled: "We went to a restaurant called Ping Pong and it was the first time it was just the two of us.

"She refused to eat because she wasn't hungry—when I'd just

ordered £75-worth of food. Then she insisted we leave to go to a bar then changed her mind.

"But we got back to the hotel room and we couldn't resist each other. It's like the sex was a hundred times better because we were so angry with each other. She tore off my clothes and we went at it properly.

"We'd had three months of foreplay and didn't need more."

He added: "She knows what she wants and is a very experienced lover. She had an insatiable appetite — once was never enough. She would tell me it was the best sex of her life."

The couple were soon making love at least twice a day. But Ziggy became increasingly disturbed by her demands.

He said: "Chanelle loves aggressive sex, and guys have knocked her around in bed—but I'm not into that.

"I walked away from sex sessions battered and bruised. My back would be ripped to pieces by her scratching.

"One night we were in the middle of sex and she said, ‘Hit me in the face.' I refused. I would never hit any woman, let alone while having sex with her.

"But on many occasions I'd have blood pouring out of me. She seemed to get off on pain and getting shock reactions."

The first time she attacked him was on September 20, when they were in a cab with one of her friends. Earlier that night Ziggy had met her pals and adoptive parents, Harry and Christine, who live in Middlestown, West Yorks.

He said: "She wasn't happy that I hadn't been by her side for five minutes when I snuck off to the toilet. She ended up punching me under my eye.

"I yelled for the driver to stop, jumped out and waited for another taxi. An hour after I'd got home Chanelle turned up. She told me she didn't know what had come over her and promised she'd never do it again.

"I took her word for it, let her in and we had the most amazing sex."

But one night—after a birthday party for his brother Daniel at Camden nightspot Gilgamesh—Chanelle punched Ziggy and cut her wrists with a KNIFE.

Ziggy said: "She created trouble from the moment she arrived, as she didn't think her table was in the best spot.

"Later I left my brother to go back to her flat. But she was enraged I hadn't paid her enough attention.

"She attacked me with another punch, this time on the chin. I got a cab back to my brother's and sobbed all the way. I couldn't believe what this girl was doing to me.

"Then she started bombarding me with phonecalls—threatening to kill herself by taking 30 painkillers. Later she told me she was going to slit her wrists in the bath. After that I couldn't get in touch with her for hours. I was distraught. When I went round the next day she showed me her cuts.

"It was so clinical. There were ten straight lines on one wrist. I couldn't believe she'd gone through with it."

Ziggy agreed to cover the cuts with a bandage and claim Chanelle had burnt herself while cooking.

Screams

He said: "I had to bandage her wrist every day. I phoned a friend of hers and said he needed to keep an eye on her or she was going to hurt herself seriously.

"It was all new to me. No other girl I'd been with had done something like this. I was really worried."

He spoke to Chanelle several times about her getting help—and offered to go with her to the Big Brother psychologist. But the death-knell sounded for their relationship during a trip with 15 pals to Dubai. Ziggy said: "She accused me of sleeping with two women then wouldn't talk to me so I dragged her into a toilet to see what was going on.

"She started screaming and lobbed a glass at my head but I ducked and it smashed on the floor."

Back in their room, Chanelle attacked him again. He said: "She chucked a full bottle of wine at me and it smashed all over the floor—then she ran out of the room screaming that I'd thrown it and tried to hit it at her.

"Then one night she refused to come for dinner with the others. I wanted to go and she seemed fine with it. When I returned to my room she'd cut up every piece of clothing I'd taken with me."

Another terrible row took place at the expensive Buddha Bar. He said: "Chanelle claimed I'd ignored her all evening. She jumped up halfway through the meal and insisted we go to the hotel. I refused.

" She had a major tantrum. But I put my foot down and she gave me a full-blown slap on the cheek."

Chanelle also took a pregnancy test during the trip. Ziggy said: "She was on the Pill. We'd had a talk about how she was left infertile after an abortion last year. She was crying all night.

"Then she leaves a pregnancy test in the middle of the room in the bin, so people could find it. It was so f***ed up."

Ziggy, who recorded his side of the split on an audio tape because he feared she was compiling "fake evidence" against him, also rejects reports he and Chanelle were formally engaged.

He said: "The furthest the conversation went was to say wouldn't it be lovely if we got engaged in a year.

"I never gave her a ring but she turned up at a club with a ring on her engagement finger. She must have bought it herself.

"Everything about the girl is drama. I would call her and she would pass me on to her PA to arrange a time we could talk. It was something you'd expect from a diva like Mariah Carey, not Chanelle Hayes from Big Brother."

Early last week Ziggy found a message on his voicemail from Chanelle, that he says was like a suicide note.

"It said, ‘This is my last message. You're not going to see me tomorrow. You're going to wake up and all the papers will say I've done myself in."

Then on Tuesday she invited him to her house so they could try again—and they had their last sex session.

But then they had a row. Ziggy said: "There's still a scratch mark on my chest from her fingernails. We had a few drinks and it got out of control.

"Then she dumped me and I only know what I read in the papers." But he added: "I do have every sympathy for her and genuinely wish her the best.

"I will still be there for her when she needs me, my feelings for her have never disappeared."
