Brian cheers Chanelle up with some words of wisdom...

Sometimes being surrounded by people can be the loneliest place in the world. And it seemed that way today for Chanelle, as Ziggy did his best to boost her flagging spirits. But the best boost she could have hoped for came from an unexpected source...

Ziggy took Chanelle out into the Garden to see Brian, who he'd been chatting to earlier. "Tell her what you just said to me, in the Diary Room," Ziggy said to Brian.

"I said that everyone bigs up the twins because they are the twins, everyone bigs up Carole because she's Carole and Charley is the Charley Show," Brian recounted seriously.

"You're the only girl that nobody bigs up in this House. If there's anyone who deserves to last the longest, or to win, it's Chanelle," he told her.

And it certainly had the desired effect. "Aww Brian, that's so nice - you're gonna make me cry," Chanelle bubbled.

"You're emotional though," he added, "when you're up, you're up and when you're down, you're down and you don't make no apologies for it."

"Thanks Brian," whispered Chanelle, obviously moved by his eulogy.

Ahh, someone pass us the hankies...
