Ian plays matchmaker for Shilpa

Ian shocked Shilpa this afternoon by pretending to set up a romantic encounter between her and Dirk.

"We just went to the diary room," he informed her. "Guess what we asked for." Shilpa tried the likely suspects - food, alcohol, a task - but couldn't come close.

"We asked for a candlelit dinner for you and Dirk," the playful housemate laughed as the actress reeled in shock. "You'd make such a nice couple."

"He's very kind and sweet," she began diplomatically, "but he's not my type. I need someone more fun."

Asked about her ideal man, she explained: "There is no prototype, because that can restrict [you]. Someone who has a sense of humour, someone who is extremely respectful, someone who I want to have kids with. Someone who'll be a great father and someone who...will be my friend. These are the prerequisites."
