Not surprisingly, Marco's departure has hit his harem hard. But while Michelle made a quick recovery, Nadia has spent a restless evening trying to come to terms with the loss of her best pal in the House.

Earlier in the evening, Nadia had looked as if she might explode as the group waited for Davina to tell them who was leaving.

She sat silently chain-smoking as the gang chatted and sang songs to pass the tense minutes.

Once her playful pal's name had been called, Big Brother allowed them all into the garden for five minutes. But the feisty lady remained alone on the sofas, looking completely lost and stunned.

After his exit, Michelle grabbed hold of her forlorn friend. "He's going to be loved out there," the Newcastle lass reassured her firmly.

Climbing into bed after a surprise conciliatory hug from Jason, she did a good impression of a frightened little girl, pulling the duvet up to her chin.

Dan and Michelle were on hand for more words of comfort, and she confessed she was feeling good vibes.

But nervous Nadia just couldn't settle. She got up at 2am for a late-night ramble round the House, finally plonking herself on the sofa and rolling a cigarette.

Cutting a sad figure, as she sat alone in her smudged make-up, she was undoubtedly already missing her boisterous buddy. Not least because he would have sat up late, gossiping and giggling with her.

Though she professes to feeling glad about staying, can Nadia hold it together against the scheming jungle cats?

Will we see a more subdued Nadia? Or a feminine tour de force, weaving a clever plan against the alpha males and enlisting some troops of her own? Perhaps she will assume command of the harem.
