Well done ROB - a girl after my own heart as you well know. Many a happy (and heated) hour was spent at the time arguing over whether or not Paul was boring.

Whether Michelle and Stuart make it will be down to how they cope when they come out. I think if they are serious they should make a trip to Barnet to find out how to overcome the problems that will be put before them.

Who can forget the horrendous hounding H and P had from the press - if you need reminder just read Dean's book where he describes they couldnt spend more than a few private moments together. The press were camped on their doorsteps and followed them everywhere. As Paul said a relationship in the house is very different to outside and they will need to recognise this and face up to it.

Stuart is very young and I think does have feelings for Michelle, but they have a very tough time ahead and need to realise this. At the moment they are cocooned from the outside gaze. Paul realised this and he and Helen knew that the outside world could make or break their relationship. He protected her in many ways, and still does.

I think whether they make it depends on how Michelle in particular reacts when she comes out. If she gets a lot of attention of other men and offers of glamour work. will she still want her chicken. We shall see. No doubt there will be the usual offer of a romantic holiday etc. As I said if they are serious they will need to listen to those who have gone before. BB romances that have worked have been kept low keyish when they come out ie. Lee and Sophie (at first), Tom and Claire (yes I know they've broken up) and Alex and Mel. Justine and Nick never stood a chance they were just too publicity conscious.

Stuart is also suffering from being up for eviction for the first time and perhaps is now thinking how the outside world has viewed his relationship.

All I can say is good luck to the pair of them.
