Noirin told Marcus that she thinks of him as a friend yesterday.

As the pair cooked in the kitchen, Marcus asked Noirin what he'd done to upset her.

"I think after the other day, because I'm good friends with you and stuff, I didn't want to..." Noirin trailed off. "Everyone's always going on, 'You and Marcus, you and Marcus' and I don't think that's the case, because to me, you're my friend. I don't want to confuse the matter and I don't want it to lead on to another Sree thing."

"That's why I said all that to you the other day," Marcus said. "If you say, 'Look, that's definitely not on the table' or whatever, then I'm not going to go, 'Oh right, well fuck you then.'"

However, he explained that he would think Noirin was "out of order" if he asked if she wanted to do something and she said yes, but then didn't do it.

"I wouldn't mind doing that if I didn't feel in any way that I was leading anyone on," Noirin replied. "I just want to be friends. I don't want people to think, 'Oh, she's such a mickey-teaser', because I'm not like that, I'm just a friendly person."

The Irish housemate admitted that people had told her she was being "too friendly". "I don't want to encourage it, because people might get the wrong impression," she remarked.

"Like I said, I'm not going to do anything with anyone in this house," Marcus commented. "If we're really going to do stuff on the outside then we can have a proper conversation or whatever."

"I don't fancy anyone in this house," Noirin insisted.
