Nathan, Josie suspect Mario is a prince

Nathan and Josie have speculated that Mario may be a prince, based on his designer clothing and seemingly extravagant lifestyle.

While smoking at the carousel, Shabby told Ife, Caoimhe, Corin, Josie, Nathan and Govan that prior to entering the house there was a rumour that one of the existing housemates would reveal they had a "big secret" in week six. As the housemates discussed who it could be, Nathan told them: "Maybe Mario's a prince."

The smokers immediately began talking about Mario's lifestyle, agreeing that his description of his way of living does not fit with the designer clothes that he owns. Corin said: "Yeah, 'cause he goes on about being unemployed and stuff, but he's got all of those designer clothes and someone bought him an Audi."

Ife continued: "He says about living off soup, but he told me that it usually costs £500 to go to Dubai, but he went first class for £5,000."

Excitedly, Josie said: "We're on to something, we're on to something. I might just say, 'You fancy a coffee? It's very royal'."

Later in the bedroom, Nathan and Josie asked Mario if he is a prince. Bemused, he answered no, and asked why they thought that. Josie explained: "Because of all the clothes and stuff." Mario denied again that he is a prince. After a short pause, he added: "That'd be cool. OK, yeah I'm a prince."

Mario has previously told housemates that his ex-partners were very generous and bought extravagant gifts, which is why he has such an expensive wardrobe.
