Tonight Ahmed paid a visit to the Diary Room and revealed that he is, at last, enjoying his stay in the House.
And it seems that he had also taken a shine to Big Brother.
The 44-year-old - who has often felt isolated - cited the arrival of new housemate, Becki, as one factor in his improved mood.
In gushing mode he started by describing this evening as "wonderful!" He excitedly talked of tonight's brief dancing session and enthused about Becki.
"When someone new comes... it's exciting... like fresh air," he said poetically. "She's sound, as they say in Liverpool."
He told Big Brother that he liked her personality and sense of humour, and believes that she is popular with the other housemates.
And he confessed that he is finally settling into the House.
"The first 10 days it wasn't good for me to stay here but now... lately I've started to enjoy myself," he begrudgingly admitted.
Ahmed's a new man!
But he was dismayed at this development believing it would soon be time for him to leave - and he would now be disappointed to be evicted. " I'm happy to be here" he told Big Brother adding an emphatic, "really!"
And he hadn't just grown to love being in the House. Leaning towards the camera he asked Big Brother for a hug.
Asked to explain why, Ahmed replied silkily, "I like your voice Big Brother... it's sensual. And you know me, I'm a touchy person."
He grinned before reclining in the chair and casually crossing his legs.
"Can I go now before I become too much excited by hearing your voice?" he purred before puckering his lips at the camera.
Will wonders never cease?
