This week's chain gang task is increasing tensions between some of the Big Brother housemates.

Jason and Michelle have both made visits to the Diary Room to rant about their chain gang pairing, with the Geordie lovely moaning about being separated from her "chicken" Stu.

"I don't like that I can't have time with Stuart," Michelle whined. "It's not very nice that my boyfriend has to sleep with another girl."

She also mentioned that she hates being followed around, but failed to see any parallel between the chain gang task and a day in the life of Stuart. However, even being chained to Jason and Shell has not stopped the BB lovebirds grabbing a kiss and a cuddle, as their respective chain gangers patiently look on.

Meanwhile, Jason is railing against having to spend time with the rest of the contestants when all he really wants to do is mope off on his own.

"This is a ridiculous task for me," he confessed in the Diary Room. "I'm having to spend so much time with the rest of the group." Jason then gave in to his Nadia-hating tendencies, describing her as a "pain in the arse" who "screams like a banshee".

Michelle is also becoming frustrated by Jason's loner tendencies, claiming he drags her with him when she wants to be part of the group. She admitted to BB that she "hates" sleeping with Jason adding it is: "Something I would never do, even in my wildest, wildest dreams."

In contrast, peace lovers Shell and Stu have been getting on exceedingly well and have found little to complain about during the chain gang challenge.
