Rex: 'You made no effort with Nicole'

Rex admitted last night that he might have preferred Nicole not to be in Big Brother.

Rachel had initially offended Rex by explaining that her reason for nominating the chef was primarily Nicole-related.

Still brooding over the argument, he then passed a barbed comment that neither Rachel nor Mohamed made an effort to speak to Nicole.

Rachel responded that she wasn't keen on Nicole's attitude. "I was nice to her when she arrived. I admit, in the end, I distanced myself because of her negativity," she said.

Despite missing Nicole, Rex said if Big Brother had given him the choice he wouldn't have brought Nicole into the house and was glad when she was evicted.

"If anything, I thought it was a good thing that Nicole went, because she didn't want to be here," he said.
