Slowly but surely, having the ex mother-in-law is wearing away at Brigette. But comfort came from the most unlikely source - John.

As the pair smoked in the outside snug, John broke his silence and started to fire words of comfort at Bridgette. "You have so many headlines, you are so far ahead. That's why they have done it" said John, implying that her former in-law was bought in by Big Brother to bring Brigette down a peg or two.

Brigette finished her cigarette, whispered something to John and kissed him on the cheek. He told her she was welcome and patted her hand. With that, an increasingly distressed Brigette made her way inside.

"Well, it made John talk!" said Bridgette as she pressed the diary room button.
