Big Brother 9 - Nicole's best bits

Nicole evicted
She entered the house as one of Big Brother's special presents, but Rex's girlfriend Nicole was certainly more a pain than prize.

She was only in the house for three weeks, but Nicole certainly made an impression on the housemates - and the nation.

After entering the house through the store-room, the 19-year-old student was immediately forced to live in Hell - while her boyfriend lapped up the life of luxury on the Heavenly side of the house.

The chef look stunned after his "princess" ran into the house - but he later revealed her presence in the house had "screwed up" his game plan. In her excitement, she proceeded to hop over the house barrier, erected across the centre of the house, to give her boyfriend a hug and kiss.

But she would later come to regret the move - because Big Brother decided to punish her by not delivering her suitcase.

The Surrey native sulked as she was forced to wear her boyfriend's saggy jumper and go without make-up. She even threatened to walk if she wasn't reunited with her belongings - most especially her nail varnish, hair straighteners and fake tan.

Luckily for Nicole, kindhearted Rachel came to her rescue by purchasing her suitcase with the shopping budget.

But things quickly took a turn for the worse, after Nicole had a heated row with Rex over reports published in the tabloids claiming he had cheated on her.

Nicole was forbidden from discussing the outside world while in the BB house - but her curiosity got the best of her as she asked him if he had ever been unfaithful.

Rex refused to answer the question and grew angry - just minutes before the house went live for the eighth eviction.

He yelled at her, "Why did you come in here if you doubt me? "You shouldn't have come on the f**king show."

It was the first in a series of heated arguments which marred the time the pair shared together in the house.

Even when the house divide fell and the couple could cuddle to their hearts' content, they continued to bicker - with Nicole threatening to walk on a seemingly daily basis.

She complained that she felt she didn't fit in, telling Rex that the other housemates hadn't made the effort to make her feel as though she was welcome.

She seemed to regret her decision to come into the house, insisting her participation in the reality show had "ruined her life".

Cocky Rex subsequently confessed to Kathreya that he had "had enough" of his girlfriend.

He whined: "The thing is, I say everything I'm supposed to say but she will just start crying or walk away."

The pair became severely unpopular with their fellow contestants, who blamed them for ruining the positive atmosphere in the house.

But it wasn't all tears and tantrums - Nicole did make the most of her tasks in the house, playing an integral part in several of their challenges.

She helped Mikey and Kathreya win a night in Heaven after they baked a cake version of London's Millennium Dome and she also participated in a gruelling 24-hour hand puppet show.

And she went out with a bang, after taking on Michael Jackson's role in his classic Thriller music video in this week's dancing task.

She may have been evicted - but we're sure deep down Rex was Thrilled to have her.
