Nikki becomes PA for BB7's Pete

Big Brother 7 winner Pete Bennett has made an appearance in the house today, as he barks orders to his new Personal Assistant Nikki through an intercom.

Earlier this morning, housemates had woken to see a desk and typewriter laid out for "Miss Grahame, P.A.". While most thought this was for her News of the World column, Nikki feared the worst.

"It says, 'Listen to Mr Bennett on the thing - Nikki. On the intercom," Preston told her.

"I think I'm taking orders off of him," replied a perked-up Nikki.

Soon afterwards, the intercom buzzer sounded for Nikki to answer. After several minutes delay so she could finish brushing her teeth, Pete finally got to introduce himself with: "About bloody time too.

"Press one now and I'll enter the Big Brother house... no I'm only joking," he added to his former girlfriend.

"Oh no, please come in," she replied.

Nikki then told Pete that she missed him being in the house and recounted how fellow Big Brother 7 housemate Glyn had entered the compound yesterday.

As she begged Pete not to make her work too hard, he joked back: "Don’t answer me back!" He then asked her to read out the laminate on her desk.

"Today Nikki will be a high powered personal assistant to Big Brother 7 winner Pete Bennett," she began. "Pete has a very busy day today and can occasionally be very busy and demanding.

"To compete her part of the shopping task she must perform a series of designated tasks. Nikki will be provided with a desk she must sit at unless Pete has ordered her to perform a task."

Nikki also read out that she must "clock in" to the desk when she arrives and that Big Brother will grant her designated breaks.

Pete told Nikki that her first task was to write her newspaper column - before calling her again later to request that she squeeze some fresh orange juice out of the fruit provided.

"I don’t mind it at all. I quite like this job, maybe we can keep the juicer," she said as she performed her role.
