Tensions rise in Big Brother house

Tensions are rising in the Big Brother household as the public vote opens to choose the next housemate to get the boot.
1 of 1 Caoimhe - Up for eviction from BB house
Caoimhe - Up for eviction from BB house

Dave was due to face Sunshine and Shabby in the vote but saved himself by winning a puzzle task, choosing Caoimhe to replace him.

Although the Christian minister claimed he was "gutted" to have to make the decision, Caoimhe branded him fake for being friendly then picking her.

After Dave announced his decision, the student replied: "It's funny how you told me you loved me the other day."

They later clashed in the kitchen when the Dubliner told him she thought he had been fake when he had been nice to her.

Dave had earlier told other housemates: "I'm gutted, it's upsetting having to do that again, but what am I supposed to do?"

He wriggled out of the first public vote when he won a race through an assault course and chose Rachael to replace him, leaving the Beyonce lookalike in tears.

The public also chose Rachael, making her the first evictee of what is due to be the final series of the show on Channel 4.

Caoimhe now fears the public will agree with Dave and she'll be the next one out of the door.

Dave's decision was also unpopular with Shabby who fears she is destined to be separated from the object of her crush at Friday's eviction.

Shabby later told Big Brother she was thinking about walking out of the show.

The squatter confided in John James who urged her to stay and said quitting to protect Caoimhe - who she has only known for a few weeks - was not the right reason to go.

"Would Caoimhe do the same for you?" he asked her.

Shabby replied: "No, I don't think she would."

  • - The Real Mr & Mrs Assad: Channel 4 Dispatches

    Channel 4, 8.00pm

    Channel 4 Dispatches reveals a portrait of a golden couple who have become global hate figures. The programme shows intimate footage of President Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma as they've never been seen on British television before, and images that help explain why the West bought the idea they were true modernisers. When Bashar took the reins of power after his father's death in 2000, the West was drawn into a hope and belief that Syria would be a new force for change in the Middle East. The Assads were seen as a glamorous couple with modern Western morals and values; he was hailed a reformer, she was the 'Rose of the Desert'. Key leaders and figures in the West welcomed the young couple, convinced that the softly spoken London-trained ophthalmologist and his beautiful British-born former investment banker wife would bring reform and modernisation to a country that had been run by an iron-fisted dictator for nearly 30 years. But it seems the West was duped. Instead of a transparent and progressive leadership, what has emerged during a year-long bloody uprising is evidence of the regime's gross systematic human rights abuses, including widespread killings and torture, while the Assads look on. Channel 4 Dispatches investigates the extent of the Assad family's culpability and the chains of command that link the President and select inner circle to the brutal crackdown.

  • - Afghanistan: The Great Game - A Personal View By Rory Stewart

    BBC Two

    Afghanistan: one of the most isolated and barren landscapes on earth is a strange place for an empire or superpower to invade. But for three of the greatest powers the world has seen, it became an unlikely target and an enduring obsession. The 19th century British invasions into Afghanistan, immortalised by Rudyard Kipling as "The Great Game", ended in huge loss of life and British retreat, and set a template for the perils of incursion in this mountainous country. In this two-part series, author, journalist and former Deputy Governor during the coalition's occupation of Iraq, Rory Stewart MP travels to Afghanistan to uncover the fears, the paranoia and perceived threats that led three very different Ssperpowers: Britain, Russia and the United States into Afghanistan from the 19th century to the present day.
