In the house ricci has behaved very lame, nervous and unsure of himself. Exactly the type of person who needs mothering and dee has taken this role with a vengeance, literally. barking that she'll scratch any ones eyes out who nominates him.

But I think there is still more to it. I noticed dee saying to riccu how all her friends would like him and be on his side, so to speak. she's also been trying to sabotage his showmance with lauren, telling lauren infront of the whole group that she's been leading him on (when she has a drink) and how much he's fallen for her. Since dee knows lauren doesn't want anything but friendship with riccci, dee must have thought this would make her stay away from ricci.

I reckon dee is looking to hook ricci up with someone close to her after the show to get into the minor celeb circuit. Maybe get a walk-on part as his girfriend, like stephanie did in Made In Chelsea.
