Kara-Louise has admitted that she is finding life in the Big Brother house tougher than she originally expected.

The forlorn student was standing with Gerry in the kitchen this afternoon when he asked what was on her mind.

"It's the forwards and backwards, not feeling settled," she confided. "It's...harder than I thought it would be... It's just that feeling that someone else is in control and not knowing where you stand and just having to accept [things]."

Attempting to comfort her, Gerry agreed that the last week had been "too much of control", stating that there had been much more uncertainty than in previous weeks.

"It's quite a stable system that unsettles you temporarily and then you go back," he reflected, before adding: "It depends how strong you are, of course."

Kara-Louise immediately jumped on the point, telling him: "Well you see, I thought I was a really strong character so for me, crying twice in a week is just ridiculous!"

She added: "I've always wondered how people can walk out of this but now that I'm here, I can see how."
