Dale shuns Hell for heavenly treat

Dale was asked to direct a hamper of alcohol and snacks to one side of the house this evening as the housemates gathered on the sofas.

Big Brother granted permission for the group to badger their leader into choosing them to receive the goodies, but stated that Dale must deliver his choice in the Diary Room, away from their ears.

As he left to give his answer, the two sides began bickering and squabbling over who deserved the reward.

Rex described himself as "greedy and selfish" as he said: "It makes more sense for us to get it - we're in Heaven! I need snacks. It’s not like I’ve had a barbecue and a takeaway."

Lisa was adamant that Dale was a "gentleman" who would "make the right choice", suggesting that this was merely another task set to test her.

Mo claimed that the Hellmates staying awake tonight would need a party to lift their spirits, but Rex branded him "reckless", saying: "Three glasses of wine and you’ll fall asleep! Why don’t you guys have some caramelised chickpeas to keep you awake?"

Stu scraped the barrel for reasons to send the hamper to Heaven, suggesting that Luke was in need of the treats as he was "wasting away" and finally resorting to the fact that it would be "great comedy" for them to get it.

Mikey said he was "not bothered" which way the treats went. "Heaven’s Heaven and Hell’s Hell," he explained.

Dale finally emerged from the Diary Room saying: "You'll find out my reasons at a later date. I'm sorry, but I've decided to give it to Heaven."

As Heaven cheered, Stu declared: "There’s not enough beer here!"
