GORGEOUS GEORGE IS COOL RULA
Actress admits she fancies MP as action hots up in BB house

FIERY Rula Lenska has admitted to having the hots for maverick George Galloway in the Big Brother house.

The 57-year-old actress admitted her infatuation with the MP - who is known as Gorgeous George - after getting tipsy on white wine.

Her late-night confession came after Big Brother asked if there were any contestants she'd ike to "explore further.

The fired-up former Rock Follies star replied emphatically: "Yes, George.

"He is an intelligent, erudite man whose eyes show remorse and care and a lot of goodness." Embarrassed Rula later told some of the other housemates that drink and going into the dairy room had loosened her tongue.

She said: "It makes you feel more relaxed in there.

"It's like you suddenly have voice. It's very bizarre."

Respect MP George, 51, has been flirting with the divorcee since meeting in the Celebrity Big Brother house but has no idea the feeling is mutual.

He told Rula, whose last TV role was playing Frank Butcher's girlfriend in EastEnders, that he was pleased to see her and they started to talk about their mutual pals.

The former Glasgow MP, whose new constituency is Bow and Bethnal Green, is being divorced by his Palestinian wife Amineh Abu-Zayyad. Rula, once married to Minder star Dennis Waterman, is single.

But if the actress has been bowled over by the Scot's charms, she was less impressed by the Big Brother party.

After a quiz between two teams of housemates, half the contestants were treated to fine wine, quality cuisine and music, while the others were left to entertain themselves.

Some of the girls stayed up all night discussing boobs.

The evening of deep and meaningful discussion was kicked off with model Jodie Marsh defending her assets.

She said: "There are other celebrities who say,' that Jodie Marsh she's got saggy t**s,' just because I don't pump them full of silicone."

Jodie, who was mocking her arch-rival Jordan, then claimed in the diary room that ex-Bay-watch babe Traci Bingham's boobs - which have been enhanced - were thebestshe celebritiesthat she had ever seen.

She said: "Big Brother probably doesn't have as good boobs as what Traci does."

Cosmetic surgery addict Pete Burns even suggested the house mates have a whip-round to collect enough cash for a boob job for Jodie.

But it was fake celebrity Chantelle Houghton, who has been forced by BB to tell the others she is in a girl band, who decided to up the stakes.

The promotions girl from Essex started by flashing-much to the delight of Ordinary Boys lead singer Preston.

He told Big Brother: "Chantelle's boobs keep coming out, it's funny innit?"

The Paris Hilton lookalike, who has to convince the other celebrities that she too is famous, has been busy flirting with NBA basketball star Dennis Rodman.

Meanwhile, Rula and Pete tried cheer up Jodie - by chanting. Rula told her about the healing benefits of Buddhist chanting before Pete revealed: "I chant."

"Really?" said Rula, sensing a kindred spirit.

"Yeah," he said. "******* off, ******* off, ******* off, ******* off..."
