"Big Brother often feels like a zoo, but celebrity contestant Pete Burns has taken it a step closer by wearing a fur coat which is said to be made from gorilla skin.

His boasts have caused outrage inside and outside the house. Biodiversity minister Jim Knight said: "Gorilla skins belong on gorillas, not on reality TV show contestants." " (BBC)

Never mind the fake gorilla skin coat - Biodiversity Minister? Minister for Biofriggingdiversity? How long have we had one of them, then? Don't remember that being announced at the last reshuffle - what are they meant to do exactly?(apart from hang on the fake fur coat tails of Our Pete)? Pshah!
