From the C5 site:

Big Brother has tried terribly hard to ruffle feathers tonight via the medium of the BBTV task. For the BBTV News, Julie became the mouthpiece for lots of unflattering news items revolving round verbatim quotes of housemate-on-housemate backstabbing.

The Corrie pint pourer had already become persona non grata in the House as five nominations testifies. Making her the bearer of bad news, some of which featured herself in the role of ear-burner (Listen up Harvey - Bet Lynch is not a 'disgrace') was the equivalent of getting a giant whisk and applying it to the ambience.

Coleen noticed an "assassin's smile" dancing on Julie's lips during the task and Big Brother's messenger had become eligible for shooting.

Yet Julie was having none of it.

In the bedroom with a concerned Julian, she assured care-y Clary, "I'm dealing with it in my own way. I won't be a squawking wreck."

"You're made of sterner stuff," said the comedian doubtfully, troubled by the notion that his pal is becoming isolated. "It's very calm out there," he said hoping to coax her outside with the others.

Julie went a step further by refusing to acknowledge any form of situation; "I've not got a problem. It's quite peaceful here," she said.

And lo and behold she went on to put her money where her mouth was, strolling outside to socialise with her housemates.

Julie has more guts than the rest of them put together.
