Dearly Departed

Housemates reacted to Michelle's eviction tonight with muted shock.

"It's alright, chick. It's alright. I knew I was going tonight," Michelle said before hugging Nadia and the rest of the housemates one by one until finally reaching Stuart.

Dan sat stunned and thoughtful and Nadia reached for her tobacco, as Michelle had a long, loving hug with Stuart.

Michelle looked totally calm as she held him. "I can't believe it," said Stuart.

"I'm OK, chick," she assured him. "I'm going to see you in a week. You'd better think about me every day. You better! You better miss me."

The pair spent their remaining time hugging, kissing and cooing before Michelle was called to the Diary Room.

Only Dan tried to console a lonely looking Stuart, hugging him tight.

But Jason's "Alright, son. One week to go," didn't seem much of a comfort.

"Yeah, I know," mumbled Stu, looking genuinely upset at his girl's departure.

Housemates, particularly Nadia, were unsettled after hearing what they thought was booing, but Dan reassured her she wasn't being singled out.

"Please tell me they weren't booing me," she pleaded. And Dan duly told her they seemed to be booing everyone.

"I'm not going to think too much about it," Michelle told Stuart, of the reasons for her eviction.

"I'm scared," she confessed as they embraced again.

"You look fabulous," he told her.

"I'm really scared."

Stuart told her she just had to do it, and she took a deep breath and kept her composure.
