Former Big Brother finalist, Imogen Thomas, has hit out at Rex Newmark’s bullying behaviour and said his tirade against Rachel has to stop.
Yesterday Rex attacked Rachel after Big brother let some of the heavenly housemates watch her audition video.
He accused her of not being real and said: “You were a sexy bitch. But in reality, I’d swap you for Scrabble.”
Imogen told The Sun: “Just because she hasn’t made herself the centre of attention doesn’t mean she’s a liar.
“Rex is just being a bully and picking on her because he’s bored and has nothing to do.
“Rach is always really bubbly, sexy and confident. I don’t care what Rex thinks, whoever you are in your audition video is who you are.” Read more & comment »

12.26pm: Luke is in the Diary Room talking to Big Brother about being bored. “I’m sick and tired of the same mundane gimmicks like singing and cooking all the time. I’m at the end of my tether with it Big Brother”, he says. “Kathreya, Rachel, Darnell, Mohamed, those four in particular”, he adds before saying that he thinks that if they have their way it won’t be long until he is evicted as they have got rid of everyone else they don’t like. He goes on to explain the reason he thinks they don’t like him is because he is a negative person and because he had a very close friendship with Rebecca. “I can’t tell you how affected I’ve been by Rebecca leaving”, he says choking back tears. “I’m not coping well at all. I honestly thought I would, and she said I would but I’m not”, he adds. “That’s why I’m so angry. I feel so robbed”, he says adding that Rebecca didn’t deserve to leave and she was the entertainment in the house. Read more & comment »
