Prankster Rex wastes shopping budget on 57 luxury tokens

Rex looks set to become even more unpopular in the Big Brother house this week.
The chef was put in charge of this week's shopping list after the group failed the task and were told to live on a basic budget of £77.
As he was called to the Diary Room, Darnell joked that he should blow the entire budget on Big Brother's ever-changing tokens.
Cheeky: Rex wasted the shopping budget on tokens
'I dare you, man,' he said.
So the cunning housemate accepted a dare from Darnell and daringly blew the lot on tokens which can be exchanged for treats.
He ordered four regular tokens and 57 of Big Brother's ever-changing tokens - at a cost of £61.
He said: 'F**k the budget. Let's let Big Brother do the work.'
'Let's get tea, coffee and butter and 77 tokens. We're not going to get anything good out of this budget anyway.
'I don't care if people hate me for doing it.'

Rex bought tea and coffee and spent a further 45p on a packet of custard creams.
'This could turn out as the best shopping budget ever or I could have just shot myself in the foot,' he said later.
But Big Brother wasn't about to be bested by the prankster.
Instead, he delivered the group 57 pointless and wacky items, including a doll's pram, a gold cardboard crown and a horse costume.
And to ensure the contestants don't starve in the coming week, Big Brother also handed over edible goodies - like spicy chilies, a whole octopus and an entire frozen lamb.
'Someone call an ambulance!' shouted Dale as he carried the animal carcass out of the pantry.
Despite receiving junk in place of food, the housemates were remarkably upbeat.
Dale tried out the waxing strips on his virtually follicle-free chest, while Darnell, Stuart, Rex and Sara played volleyball in the garden with an inflatable globe.
'That was probably the most fun I've had since I've been here!' said Stuart.
