BB cash dwindles as housemates fluff tasks

The prize fund for Big Brother housemates has plummeted further as the group squandered £6,000 (€9,000) in a weekly task.

Contestants are now aiming for a total prize of £85,000 (€127,000) – after they elected student Stuart as the most intellectual in their number and he fluffed a series of general knowledge questions last night.
