Relations between two of Big Brother's biggest personalities have taken another step backwards, with a row over cider the latest incident to upset Rex and Mohamed.
In an eerie parallel to superpower Russia's military actions in Georgia, super-housemate Rex – who has twice survived eviction and now has the upper hand thanks to the presence of his girlfriend Nicole in the house – went on the offensive.
"Where's my f***ing cider?" he asked diplomatically, on discovering that two of his cans had gone missing.
It eventually emerged, thanks to the intrepid efforts of head of house Michael, that Lisa and Mohamed has snuffled down the drink after mistakenly thinking they were Darnell's. He had given permission.
Rex, not accepting this explanation, launched an immediate attack on Mohamed's character. He called him "greedy Mo" and said Mohamed should have realised the error of his ways before it was too late.
With Rex having avoided being put up for eviction this week he holds all the bargaining chips over Mohamed, with whom he has spent most of his time in the house on positive terms.
But he is attracting criticism from other housemates. Lisa told Michael at the dinner table she believes Rex should have already been voted out because of his nasty character. Michael agreed, describing Rex as a "miserable b*****d".
