WANNABE bride Michelle was warned not to count her Chickens last night by Stu's mates.

Old friend Tom Davenport LAUGHED out loud when he learned she wanted to marry Stu and have his babies.

Tom, 20, said: "Bloody hell. That's a bit optimistic - but she's not the brightest star in the galaxy. I'd rate her chances of getting him down the aisle as one in ten.

"We were all surprised when he even got off with her."

Bunny Boiler Michelle, 23, announced her hope of settling down with Stu after her eviction.

She said: "He is the love of my life. He is genuine, loving and imaginative. If I were looking for my ideal man he would tick all my boxes.

"I know I've only known him for nine weeks but at some point in my life I want to settle down and have kids - and he is the one I want to do that with."

But Tom, who went to school with Stu, 20, and plays rugby with the psychology student, reckons his pretty-boy pal ended up with the wrong girl.

He said: "I'm not saying Michelle's stupid but he normally goes for the more intellectual type. He is ridiculously bright.

"When we all started watching Big Brother we thought he'd go for Shell, if anyone. Then it became clear she was in a long-term relationship."

His comments are likely to enrage mortgage advisor Michelle - Stu declared his love for "Shelly-Bob" soon after she was out the door.

Tom, who last saw his mate at Easter before he entered the house, added: "Michelle's intense - to say the least - and too controlling. I could see her being very demanding and bossy with Stuart and I don't know if he'd take that once he's outside.

"He's going to be getting a lot of female attention when the programme finishes and I don't know whether she'd be able to cope. I can't see a big future for them."

Tom was speaking as he and pal Leo Richards, 19, hit the campaign trail in their home town on their buddy's behalf.

The lads borrowed an old Citroen van and blanketed it in banners urging people to Vote Stuart.

Then they toured Macclesfield, Cheshire, rallying fans to dial Stu's hotline over a tannoy.

Tom said: "We just want everyone to get behind him because we think he deserves to win.

"Nadia is playing for sympathy but Stuart has been more entertaining - after all, he has gone the whole way with Michelle."

There was better news for her yesterday as Stu opened his heart in the Diary Room.

Big Brother asked him who he would like to see return.

And Stuart said: "Michelle. It's certainly more than a friendship. We're very close. She is the most important person to me in here."

But he would not reveal his least favourite housemate, telling BB: "That's like asking who's the least important member of Team Handsome. It's ridiculous."
