Thomas last night slammed Rex for “bullying” her pal Rachel Rice. The BB7 star spoke out after FURIOUS ex-Big Brother beauty Imogen posh chef Rex ridiculed Rachel for “lying” that she was edgy and sexy in her audition tape for the show. He even told her she had been so boring inside the house he would swap her for a game of SCRABBLE
But Imogen — who met Rachel when they both competed in the Miss Wales pageant in 2003 — raged: “Just because she hasn’t made herself the centre of attention doesn’t mean she’s a liar.” She added: “Rex is just being a bully and picking on her because he’s bored and has nothing to do.”
“I know she’s been quiet in there, but it hasn’t been easy with such big personalities around her.” “Rach is always really bubbly, sexy and confident. I don’t care what Rex thinks — whoever you are in your audition video is who you are.” The row flared after Londoner Rex, 24, and the other heavenly housemates were shown the auditions of their fellow BB wannabes. They were amazed to see the quiet, retiring Welsh country girl being sassy and outspoken in her clip, and calling herself “chatty, happy and enthusiastic.”
They were amazed to see the quiet, retiring Welsh country girl being sassy and outspoken in her clip, and calling herself “chatty, happy and enthusiastic.” After seeing the tape, Rex wasted no time in blasting her for “faking” her personality on the tape in a bid to be put into the house.
The cook ranted: “It’s a fake, you’re a liar. If you’d come across as you did in your VT, you’d have been my favourite housemate. “But it’s not you, it's nothing like you and you know it. “You were a sexy bitch. But in reality, I’d swap you for Scrabble!” Shocked Rachel, 24 — who was runner-up to Imogen in the Miss Wales beauty contest — insisted: “I am confident, I never said I wasn’t — but how do I get a chance in here? Everyone talks over youShe later sobbed to Big Brother in the Diary Room: “I feel like my VT is me but there are also parts of my personality that aren’t in that clip.
“The worst part of all of it is that Luke and Bex have called me a fake from the beginning and this makes it look like they were right.” Imogen, 25, lasted until the penultimate week of the 2006 series of BB, which was won by Tourette’s sufferer Pete Bennett. And she said Rachel’s bubbly character would emerge if she stayed in the house.
She added: “It takes some girls a while to show their real self especially when you’ve never left Wales. “As the numbers went down I became myself so much more.”
