Relationships have been breaking down in the Big Brother house with Preston taking the brunt of the fallout.

Gossiping with exbasketball star Dennis Rodman, housemate Pete Burns said the Worthingborn singer had "a mental age of ten".

The Eighties' pop star then chided: "He's really a kid but he thinks he's so clever. He looks you in the face, dead cunning, and he's really flirty for Chantelle.

"But he's been really flirting with me. I'd use him as a toothpick."

Having fallen out with George Galloway over voting, Preston has also confided in the diary room he felt let down by the controversial MP.

The Ordinary Boys frontman said Galloway needed to get in touch with his feelings.

He said: "He won't hug people or cry. He presents himself as the guy who takes it all in stride but he's starting to crumble inside. He just sits in silence, reading the fire exits. I thought we had a valid friendship but he is just playing the game and I don't want to be his pawn."
