Rachel 'bullying' must stop

Imogen Thomas, who went to the final public vote in the seventh series of Big Brother, thinks criticism of Rachel in the house has gone too far.

Rachel spent most of yesterday being comforted by Kat after Rex ridiculed the housemate for "faking" her personality in her audition tape.

Imogen told The Sun: "Just because she hasn’t made herself the centre of attention doesn’t mean she’s a liar.

"Rex is just being a bully and picking on her because he’s bored and has nothing to do.

"Rach is always really bubbly, sexy and confident. I don’t care what Rex thinks, whoever you are in your audition video is who you are."

Rex told Rachel he preferred her in the VT and was boring in the house: "You were a sexy bitch. But in reality, I'd swap you for Scrabble."

But Imogen feels Rachel's bubbly character will be revealed as the show enters its closing stages: "It takes some girls a while to show their real self, especially when you've never left Wales.

"As the numbers went down I became myself so much more."
