It's making his mind up time for Darnell as he decides to stay in Big Brother

The music producer has twice threatened to leave and matters came to a head when he was reprimanded for his behaviour towards Sara.

He and Rex were told by Big Brother to stop bullying the pretty Australian or leave. They had called her 'ugly b****' and a 'slut'.

Bye bye: Darnell heads into the diary room... but is he coming back?

Darnell said he was leaving the house and walked off to the Diary Room.

There he said to Big Brother: 'As much as I want to go home, it's quite pointless as I'm not going to go to anything, so it's not gonna change.

'The people who have walked before have walked because they know on the outside it's different and it's going to help them.'

'I knew you'd come back' Rachel hugs her friend

But after deciding to stay Darnell returned to be greeted by a round of hugs.

Rachel and Kat leapt up and cheered, telling him they had feared he had walked.

'I knew you would be back,' Rachel told him.

But Lisa also believes Darnell is jealous of their £25,000 win.

She said: 'There's a lot of jealousy going on with this whole money thing.

'What would Darnell have been like if he's won the money? He'd have been exactly the same as us. You're bound to be ecstatic.'

Meanwhile, Rex was left almost speechless when Mikey labelled him a bully, referring to the way he treated Sara over Darnell's rumoured exit.

'You were blaming Sara if Darnell goes,' Mikey said. 'You kept on going on in your usual way, grinding her down, harping on about it.'

Rex responded by calling Mikey a 'jealous little man'.

He said: 'You can't take the fact that people like me. That makes you a very pathetic man and I feel sorry for you, honestly. You should think about the things you say.'

The two later agreed to try to get on for the remaining eight days.

Rex said to Mikey: 'I don't mean to be horrible. You've called me selfish but I cook dinner for everyone every night and that's not a selfish person.'
