Fitness-obsessed Lee has been leading some willing subjects in an exercise class with a difference.

The Leicestershire housemate summoned his troops early this evening. With the exception of Sunita - who observed while smoking a cigarette - and Kate, all the girls took part. Jonny proved to be the sole male.

Starting with lunges and press-ups, Lee turned out to be a hard taskmaster as he motivated the wannabe bodybuilders, barking out orders with the authority of a sergeant major.

"I've got carpet burns," yelped Scot Lynne as she held in her abdominal muscles for 15 seconds.

But with the repetitions coming thick and fast, no other housemate seemed to have the energy to complain any further.

Noticeable absentees to the training group were garden-dwellers Sandy and Spencer, and sleepers PJ and Alex. Lee's motivational techniques are clearly aimed at the female gender.
