The Big Brother housemates are feeling pretty hard done by this week, well one half of them are anyway.

The remaining hopefuls have been split into two groups as part of a new task and one half has been told to survive on basic rations of raw cabbage, crackers, cheese, carrots and apples, while the others can consume their normal food.

Some think that Big Brother is going to far with the rationing and actually pushing them towards starvation and last night needy nibbler Lauren Carre blasted show bosses saying:

“I can’t do this for another week. I’m going to walk.

“I’m so hungry. I feel so ill. I’ve got headaches. My tummy is killing me. We need to write to Ofcom and human rights.”

Shievonne Robinson agrees and admits that she is also struggling with the tiny food portions and lack of choice. She said:

“We’re starving. We’re withering away. I’ve got nothing left to give.”

However chef Luke A is trying to remain upbeat about the whole thing and attempted to spur his pals on, insisting:

“There’s food here. Don’t quit.”

It must make it harder that the other half of the house have the opposite problem and are gorging so much, that many are worried about piling on the pounds during their time on the reality TV show.

Former Miss India UK Deana Uppal, 23, complained: “I don’t want to leave this house fat.”
