Chef vs Snorer: Big Brother housemates Rex and Belinda up for eviction

Over-confident chef Rex Newmark and theatre director Belinda Harris-Reid have become the latest contestants to face eviction from the Big Brother house.

Rex previously went head to head with part-time model Jennifer Clark, and once he was nominated, told the others he couldn't wait to leave.

He moaned that after all the time he had spent auditioning, he didn't want to walk out of the house, but instead wanted to receive a formal eviction and interview.

Time to go?: Rex Newmark and Belinda Harris-Reid are up for nomination this week

When it was announced the Durham single mum would leave, Rex cursed and claimed to be disappointed he was saved from getting the axe.

But after this week's fifth round of nominations, the London restaurant owner will again face the public vote.

Theatre director Belinda, who entered the house two weeks ago, has quickly annoyed the entire house with her snoring, prompting the others to brand her The Belinda-snorus.

She was the last of the three new arrivals to enter the house last month, following Australian personal assistant Sara Folino and Muslim model Maysoon Shaladi.

All three newbies were immune from being nominated last week, but could not cast a vote.

The 44-year-old has caused unrest in the house, with her nocturnal noises prompting Kathreya Kasisopa and Rachel Rice to leave the luxury bedroom for the basic bedroom.
