Kathreya plays big Mama to Big Brother's lovelorn housemates

The 30-year-old, who is engaged, had heart-to-hearts with Dennis and Darnell about romance today, with the men lamenting about being single.

Dennis said: 'I want to fall in love too. I want to meet someone and fall in love so much...But you can't make that happen, it just happens to you.'

Their chat then took a slightly surreal turn with Kathreya shrieking with laughter over an 'elephant bum bum sandwich'.

Albino Darnell told the masseuse: 'I just want what every other regular dude wants and I don't feel like I get it.

'I want to have a nice girl and a family. I don't want to be a burden on no-one. I think I'm just gonna end up alone.'

But there was some romance in the air as real-life couple Mario and Lisa were treated to dinner in the Diary Room to celebrate his 43rd birthday.

Mohammed also confessed to fancying Jennifer, but she seems more interested in Dale.

He admitted in the Diary Room: 'When we were in the kitchen together, cleaning, I didn't know what to say...

'When I like someone, I go all shy - especially if I have a little crush on her.'

As the summer sun shone Alexandra put a dampener on things, moaning about the house being messy and later shouting at chef Rex for refusing to cook.

Four housemates, Mario, Lisa, Luke and Stephanie, are up for the public vote this week.
