Rex and Nicole split across divide

Rex and Nicole have been told they will spend the next week apart receiving their results from today’s alphabet challenge.

Nicole was openly devastated by the prospect, saying: "I wanna leave!" as Rex tried to console her.

The girls in the house offered tips on how best to wash her hair, while Kat, who will also be in Hell with her and Mikey, said it would be a good opportunity to "get to know people more".

Rex told Darnell that "kegs in [his] head" were working to try to find a means for them to be together as he waited to speak to Big Brother outside the Diary Room.

Mikey said he had no sympathy for the separated duo: "He’s been banging on about getting you for eight weeks and now you’re sitting there in the flesh, he should be happy," he told Nicole. "Lisa and Mario were split and Rachel’s not got her boyfriend anywhere near here."

"You know what Big Brother’s like," he continued. "They give you something with one hand and take it away with the other."

Mo agreed, saying: "The more he keeps going on about it the more they’re going to do it to him."

"If they genuinely want to be together they can be together outside," affirmed Mikey.
