Fling or Ring? Michelle and Stu

AKA: Big Brother's Bedsit Babe, the raunchy Geordie, sex-kitten Michelle etc.

Years racked up: 23

Known for?: Calling all and sundry 'chicken', getting her kit off on national telly on a regular basis, that awful ponytail.

Is involved in a love thing with...

Who? Stuart Wilson

AKA: Head member of 'Team Handsome', Sheriff Stu, a right girly-haired one

Years racked up: A mere stripling of 20

Known for?: Perfecting the art of 'sitting on the fence' in the BB house, being the helpless gazelle in the claws of Michelle's determined vulture.

Romance rocketed when: Er, about the minute these two lusty young things got into the BB house. Many snogs, saucy bubble baths and bedtime fumbles ensued.

Make or break: They had their first lovers' tiff this week, when Stu dared to compared his lady to the horrifying he-she plastercast model Maureen.

Soppy speak: In the early days it was cringey Michelle-isms, like "You're so clever Stu," and "You’re so handsome..." Now, however, Stu is making clear his feelings too - well almost. He's confirmed to Victor that the pair are "boyfriend and girlfriend".

Biz Bitch says: Unlike the will-they won't-they flirting of previous BB contestants (cf Helen and Paul) Michelle and Stu dived in straightaway and won few fans with their open slurping. But amazingly, their relationship has continued and they seem to genuinely like one another. It's doubtful however, that this will last when they're out of the house and Michelle is fulfilling her ambition of posing topless while Stu is pursued by 'leggy lovelies' at China Whites...
