After Lisa let rip with a full and frank discussion of how she felt ostracised by the housemates, Nush came right back at her.

"Don't think I don't understand where you're at," sympathised the Malvern student.

"In the first week or two, I felt left out."

Nush advised Lisa to take it slowly and not expect to be accepted after so short a time in the House.

The cool blonde then suggested that the oldest housemate only had herself to blame for feeling left out.

When Nush and Steph were chatting and cuddling in the pool, Lisa decided not to join in. "I couldn't," said the Welsh lass bashfully.

But Nush shot back: "Don't give me all that s**t! You can!"

Then Steph chimed in: "We're not saying we dislike you," she said. "In the nicest possible way, this is not about you."

Lisa seemed gratified by the attention she was getting and said she was looking forward to seeing the girls after Big Brother. "We'll be best friends in normal life," she smiled.

"Everything is cool, everything is groovy," soothed Nush. But how long will this truce last - and will they really be great pals in the outside world?
