As the final day of the Big Brother wedding task draws to a close, discontent amongst the ladies of the house is growing.

While the majority of the viewing public, not to mention Stuart, is well aware that Michelle wants to be in Shell's place when she walks down the aisle this afternoon, it might come as more of a shock that Nadia wants to wear the veil as well.

"I want to be the bride!" whined Michelle to Nadia, whereupon the Portuguese transsexual replied "So do I!"

Michelle next wandered went up and down specially prepared red carpet, telling Nadia: "I think there should be two brides."

The Geordie chorister then marched around the garden in a white gown which she had made yesterday.

Michelle spent more than six hours yesterday making a dress for today - even though she might not be allowed to wear it.

"If I'm not the bride I'm going to have the most glamorous [chorister's gown] you've ever seen," she explained to Stuart today.

And when Shell voiced her concerns over her "wedding night" with Victor, Michelle was more than happy to offer her an alternative.

"I'm sure me and Stu could step in for you," Michelle jumped in.

She then wistfully imagined her possible "wedding night" describing the heart-shaped cushions, fairy lights and double mattress in place already.

"Oh my God, I'm not sleeping with anyone. I really can't. Scott [her real life boyf] would go mad," Shell exploded.

Michelle, still hoping for a late substitution, urged the blonde student: "Tell them it isn't appropriate."

Stu missed the conversation.
