Noirin: 'Marcus is a father figure'

Marcus was left feeling flattered last night after a heart-to-heart with Noirin, during which she praised him as being a respected housemate and a father figure.

The pair were chatting in the sitting room alone while the other housemates were in the garden.

Noirin was describing how hard she finds it to articulate her thoughts properly, and revealed to Marcus that she always turns to him to help her get her point across.

Relaying a conversation she had with Big Brother in the Diary Room, she told him: "I said Marcus has everything on point, he has it down to a tee."

"If you ever want to find anything out in the house, talk to Marcus. He's so socially aware," she added.

Marcus looked visibly flattered and hugged Noirin for her comments.

She continued her praises, stating: "I think that’s why everyone in the house has so much respect for you... You're so level headed.

"That's why everyone thinks of you as the father figure in the house."

The pair continued their conversation into the early hours of the morning, discussing their fellow housemates as well as their plans for life after the show.
