Ahmed has angered the Big Brother Sergeants as he increased the chances of failing the Boot Camp task.

As soon as he saw a big pile of boots in the garden, Ahmed felt the need to speak to Big Brigadier about his sore throat.

"I am not well and I am not able to do the task," said Ahmed.

Victor cleverly suggested that Ahmed clean some boots inside the House to keep out of the cold but Ahmed was still adamant that he could not continue.

"I'm sick. I'm refusing to do the task. Big Brother has the power to throw me out if I won't do the task or I'm not well. I will lose my night, but it's not fair on the group if I don't do the task," Ahmed told Jason.

Ahmed then stormed off as he was greeted with a frosty reception from his fellow Privates."

"Ill, to me, is cancer. Not a sniffle," sniped Dan.

"I'm losing my voice," whined Ahmed. "I can't do the shift. I was well for three hours last night. Now look at me."

But Jason and Michelle did a fantastic job with a good cop, bad cop routine to get the Private on his feet.

"Ahmed we have failed the task today because you are sitting there!" MIchelle shrieked.

"Why did you come on this show? You're spoiling it for everyone else."

Ahmed was soon joining the others to polish boots in the garden.
