'Game playing'

Ofcom received 433 complaints about Alexandra's behaviour after she abused three fellow contestants.

Viewers saw Alex, 23, being reprimanded by Big Brother for an argument she had with Rebecca, Stephanie and Rachel.

As Alex and Mario's names were read out, Mario smiled, while Alexandra said: "Are you joking?"

Nominating Alexandra, Dale Howard said: "She's trying to be nice so she won't be up for nomination. I think she's playing a game."

Mario earnt a nomination from Jennifer Clark, who said she didn't like "the way he acts like my dad".
