EVER miserable chef Rex has threatened to quit Big Brother with his airhead girlfriend Nicole if the pair are not allowed to live on the same side of the house.

EVER miserable chef Rex has threatened to quit Big Brother with his airhead girlfriend Nicole if the pair are not allowed to live on the same side of the house.

The arrogant 24-year-old is 'suffering' on the heavenly side of the house while new housemate and lover Nicole is one of only three dwelling in hell after she took more than nine minutes to recite the alphabet backwards.

She has yet to be given her suitcase after she was punished for leaping the fence upon her arrival in the house on Friday night.

While Rex has doted on his 'princess' since she arrived the pair have already rowed - and Nicole revealed she would rather have her make-up back than live on the same side of the house than her beau.

Rex, who fears he will lose his girlfriend on national TV, has threatened to leave the show with Nicole if things do not improve.

It comes as housemates got emotional after they were given letters from home, with Kat, Stuart, Mo, Sara and Lisa all getting teary as the notes were read out.
