Big Brother loser Stephanie set for dramatic return to house

The 19-year-old is desperate for a reunion with Rex Newmark, but is determined to avoid "sleazeball" Mario Marconi after pretending to be his young lover.

After it was revealed there were huge problems with Friday night's phone vote, TV bosses are said to be considering giving Stephanie another chance.

"He (Rex) gave me butterflies in my stomach every time I look at him," Stephanie said.

"He cried when I left and I definitely felt that there was something between us.

"There was that spark. I just want to be there next to him."

Since leaving the house, Stephanie has spoken of how she was almost sick at the thought of having to share a bed with Mario, 43, who slept in only his underpants.

She dubbed the muscle-man a "sleazeball" who tried to kiss her on the lips, despite being in a real relationship with fellow housemate Lisa.

Stephanie and Mario were given their secret task - to fool the rest of the housemates into thinking they were a genuine couple - on the series' launch night.

But she immediately had reservations and shied away from the old Romeo, who took to the task like an over-enthusiastic puppy.

The teenage model now believes that Mario used the task as an excuse to try to take advantage of her.

She has slammed Big Brother producers for forcing the pair to sleep in the same bed.

She said: “They put me through hell. The thought of sharing with Mario made me feel sick. In my eyes the task was inappropriate.

“I tried to sleep on the couch but Big Brother said housemates were not permitted to do that and they had to sleep in the beds."

Eventually Steph reluctantly climbed into bed beside snoring Mario, describing him as "sweaty", with "vile" morning breath.

Her trial did not end there though, she told the Star on Sunday, claiming Mario took the boyfriend/girlfriend scenario too far.

She said: “He kept winking at me, which I hated. When we were in the diary room and no one else was around he said he loved me. I was freaked out.

"He’d sit next to me and stroke my leg. I hated it. I went to kiss him on the cheek and he lunged and kissed me full on the lips. It was disgusting. I wanted to be sick."

Steph was booted out of the house on Friday, after 48 per cent of voters called for her eviction.

She had previously told housemates she would hate to be the first contestant evicted.

After the eviction a streaker ran up and shook his manhood at her.

"It was vile," said Steph.
