Unrequited love was in the air in the 'Big Brother' house after Sree Dasari confessed he had lost his heart to a fellow contestant.
But the object of the 25-year-old's affections, retail manager Noirín Kelly, made it clear the feeling was not mutual and insisted he did not really love her.
In a heart-to-heart talk last night, Dasari said: "I don't know how to flirt with you. You're too good looking for me. Secondly, your inner beauty is platinum. And your laugh makes the sun shine."
He continued: "What I'm going to say, you keep it to yourself: I'm in love with you."
Earlier, the 25-year-old from Dublin had complained to housemates that the lovestruck business student would not leave her alone. "He's like my shadow. I can't move without him being there," Kelly said.
Last week, university dropout Kris Donnelly admitted he had "gone all soppy" for glamour model Sophie Reade after the pair shared a bed and canoodled in the dark.
