Bea: 'I'm not doing the task'

Bea has refused to play any further part in the new housemates' secret mission, claiming that she cannot bear to be "manipulative".

The recruitment consultant and her fellow new arrivals have been instructed to ensure that Freddie and Noirin are nominated this week if they do not want to face the public vote themselves.

Following two days of scheming attempts among the fresh batch of contestants, Bea has now told Tom that she feels unable to continue with the challenge.

Speaking earlier today, she vowed: "I'm not doing it. It goes against morals."

She added: "I can't do it. I don't like that 'cos I get on with Freddie it's all on my shoulders. You do what you want. You crack on. I'm not losing a friendship to manipulate a situation. It's not my task to do."

Bea's refusal to participate angered Tom, who accused her of not pulling her weight.

As he stormed off, the fitness fanatic commented: "We have something to do and you're basically washing your hands of it."
