With only one day left in the house for one of Marco, Nadia or Michelle the tension is beginning to show.

Sitting together on the sofas in the lounge they discussed their situation.

"I feel like everybody likes me - that's the strange thing," said Michelle. Which is a fair comment considering she was only nominated by newbie Becki - but then the only way she will learn that is if a lot more people than that want her out of the house.

They then discussed what they would go through if they were kicked out by the public.

Marco insisted he would not be that bothered - and had earlier emphasised that were he to go he wants Nadia or Michelle to win.

Michelle didn't bother to put a positive spin on it.

"I would feel gutted," the wannabe glamour model told her fellow nominees.

The Geordie then asked Nadia if leaving would upset her.

"50 per cent of me - yes, 50 per cent of me - no," uttered the Portuguese.

Of course while being booted out means you lose the chance of winning whatever is left of the prize fund, there is a downside to staying in.

"If I were to stay... I'd feel really lonely in here," Marco lamented.

Michelle was resolute, with her 'I mean business' face on she announced: "We're all playing the game because we're on a game show. You can't not play the game."
