He also disclosed that he had a rift with his half-sister who is 15 years older than him. He wrote to the palace asking for help to stop paparazzi from invading his privacy.
“And the correspondence that I got back was [that I was]”Distant Family and I don’t even know those people.” That was Meghan.
Thomas’s comment that his half-sister should do her job and stop complaining about it caused a flurry of laughter among the housemates.
Jessika, shocked, said that “it’s so much more difficult than that.”
