After Ahmed's recent explosive behaviour and his failure to prise himself from the sofa to bid farewell to Marco, he was keen to find out how his housemates feel about him.

Drawing Victor aside for a chat in the garden he wanted to know what had been said about him.

"What can you remember - positive or negative?" grilled Ahmed.

Victor listed the negative aspects first - that he didn't wash up and that he was chauvinistic - stressing they had occurred during the early days in the House.

But Victor emphasised that people now had only good things to say about the emotional Somalian and revealed, "Marco's even said that he felt bad that he judged you a bit too soon."

"Everyone's just saying you're a nice guy now... I'm serious," the Londoner reinforced.

Ahmed remained doubtful and suggested that it was usual for people to initially get the wrong impression of him. Nodding sagely, Victor agreed that might have, in fact, been the case.

The 44-year-old also fretted that the housemates had discussed his failure to say goodbye to Marco last night. Stressing that it would have been hypocritical to say farewell, he pressed Victor for reassurance that people hadn't been sniping about his actions.

But Victor insisted this wasn't true and continued to bolster his ego by reiterating that he was now popular with the others.

He told Ahmed that the housemates think, "He's funny. he's wacky. he's crazy..." to hoots of disbelieving laughter from the property developer.

But he was clearly relieved, "I was expecting more negative things [people were saying about me]."

Victor continued to insist that nobody was against him adding, "If there was one person that was talking about you behind your back - he's gone."
