'Mr Nasty' and nurse Rebecca up for BB eviction

Mario has been branded Big Brother’s new Mr Nasty after another week of feuds inside the house.

The 43-year-old gym fanatic is battling to avoid eviction from the Big Brother house after being nominated yesterday along with nursery nurse Rebecca.

He received five nominations from fellow housemates who branded him “aggressive” and “nasty”, while 21-year-old Rebecca got a total of four nominations.

Massage therapist Kathreya told Big Brother that Mario’s recent behaviour “almost broke my heart”.

“He turned very aggressive. Last week he shouted at me and turned the whole house against me,” she said.

Rex, a chef from London, also voiced strong views on Mario when he made his nominations in the Diary Room, saying: “Now that he’s become comfortable, he’s become a bit mean and a bit horrible and nasty towards some of the housemates.”

Rebecca, from Coventry, has racked up a total of 11 nominations since she entered the house on June 5. She was also a target for criticism during the nominations.

Housemate Darnell said: “She is fun to a point, but lately the things she’s been doing and saying have been straight out of order.

“She basically disregards everything I say.”

The housemates reacted differently to news of their potential ousting, with Rebecca covering her face with her hand and Mario kissing his girlfriend Lisa.

The Warrington bodybuilder’s show of affection was in stark contrast to his behaviour the previous day, when he berated his partner and branded her “Mrs Scrubber”.

Whoever is voted out will be the fourth contestant evicted from the house in series nine of the Channel 4 show.

Voting lines open tonight and close during the live programme on Friday.
