Kara-Louise has taken her turn to eat a 'luxury' food item as part of the halfway housemates' task to win a luxury shopping budget for the house next door.

As the main group watched from the sofas this evening, the Harrow student was presented with a gammon and fondant fancy kebab on a bed of chili and prawn cocktail.

"That's nice," shouted an excited Brian, adding: "Give me that, I could do that!"

The giggling halfway housemate started the task with enthusiasm, joking: "This looks nice, Big Brother."

But she began to struggle after ten minutes of ploughing through the meal to the accompanyment of increasingly loud panting and moaning.

As 15 minutes ticked by, the 22-year-old grew more voiciferous in her complaints, saying: "This is quite big...I'm gonna be sick after all this." But she managed to cling on to her sense of humour, joking: "This is very tasty, Big Brother, nice one."

Her main house audience shouted cheers of encouragement but couldn't help giggling at the frenzied panting coming from the plasma screen.

"Don't laugh at what I think you're laughing at," an amused Ziggy warned the twins, while Brian burst out laughing as he reclined on the sofa.

After 20 minutes of eating the huge meal, Kara-Louise was finally on the home straight, vowing: "Big Brother will not beat me!"

Before she was told she could leave the diary room, Big Brother teased: "Gammon and fondant fancy kebabs are the food of the gods. How do you feel?"

"Bloody hell, that was sick," she moaned as she arrived back in the Halfway House.
