Carole has been checking on her old confidante Tracey after the "hippy raver" moved into the Halfway House last night.

Placing her bed linen in the store room this afternoon, Carole took the opportunity to see if anyone was around next door.

Shouting to Shanessa, who was in the dorm, she said: "Say ''ave it' to Tracey for me!"

After assuring the lapdancer that the main housemates were missing her, she yelled: "Tell Tracey it was lonely in that bed."

Shanessa then assured Carole that her friend was doing fine, telling her: "You know what, Tracey's really come out of herself. We've been having lots of fun and we had a nice meal; we had sausages and baps and side salad and cottage cheese...and she had strawberries and cream last night."

"She eats really well," noted a motherly Carole in response.

Later, she and the twins bellowed to Tracey herself as she lounged on her bed in the Halfway House dorm.

After a chorus of '"Ave it!"s flying in both directions, Tracey yelled: "I'll be back!"

"I think that you will bloody be back on Friday," Carole agreed, adding: "The camera kept looking for you."

But Shanessa was eager to get in on the act, rushing over to ask again if anyone had missed her.
