Cristina Ferreira's brother-in-law and Big Brother winner, Francisco Montero, has responded to accusations that he is benefiting from his brother Joao Montero's relationship with the broadcaster.

“Regarding my brother's relationship with Christina, I have already received a lot of things, many of which are not true. If we look at it, compared to other competitors, my path is shorter than theirs.“, Francisco told TV 7 Dias.

“I, like all the other competitors, went to 'Extra' once, and did 'Compact', like the other competitors. Other than that, I didn't do anything else at all, and I had no invitation to anything. My journey is probably too short for what I did in my program and what it could beHe continued: “The more I talk, the more problems I cause. I can't say that I'm upset, because this has to be realistic. If we go straight to the facts: I gave up the 'last challenge'.” [edição ainda a decorrer], a program that, given the statistics, could be one of the winners. I don't know where people say I might have benefited from the “ultimate challenge”. In terms of benefits, I had none. I gave up. Everything else… Even as far as the “Cristina” magazine is concerned, all the other winners did it: Cacha, Bruna Gomez, Bernardo Souza, Miguel Vicente, everyone. It's a funny way to try to attack me. “I can't feel uncomfortable lying, but I'm trying to get used to it.”
