Closer’s CBB columnist Nicola McLean: ‘Perez saying he was freed from cancer was a statement too far!’

"Tensions were still running high on last night’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother and Alicia Douvall committed one of the worst crimes imaginable in the house… stealing food!

Although it was only two bananas, it's such a selfish thing to do. You all work hard for the food budget as a team in the house and theres no "I" in team, but it seemed as if Alicia was just thinking about herself. It's just not acceptable!

Michelle Visage saw the crime and told the others, so, with their glasses of wine in hand, Katie, Cami Li and Chloe went to try and find them, but couldn't.

I had to giggle at Chloe asking, 'where would Alicia be likely to hide a banana?' I’m not sure if Chloe even realised she had cracked quite a funny one-liner!

What did you think of Alicia's revelation about her daughter's diet?

It was nice to see Katie as a giggling girl, although the three of them did look a bit pathetic hunting for bananas. Why not just ask her where they are? After being talked into admitting her indiscretion, Alicia said she felt like Katie and Cami Li were picking on her.

While I do understand that it seemed petty to count the bananas out, we have to remember the biggest row in Big Brother history: Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty arguing over an OXO cube. It's a pressure cooker in that house, food is enough to tip anyone over the edge!

I loved Alicia walking back in, waving a banana in each hand, and saying, "I love bananas as a snack”. No sh*t Alicia, but at least she is honest…

Did you think Katie was picking on Alicia?

Alicia ruffled even more feathers when she told the group she keeps her three-year old-daughter on a vegetarian diet most of the time, unless she specifically asks for meat, and she also doesn’t allow her sugar.

Nadia asked her what happens when she is invited to a birthday party and Alicia's response left most mothers gobsmacked: she said she won’t be going to birthday parties unless the parents specifically catered for her daughter’s diet.

Surely as a mum you want them to be included, not excluded from their peers? It's a mum's duty to want their child to be healthy and I totally get that, but you have to let children enjoy treats and parties – it's all part of being a child!

Come on Alicia this is ridiculous – limit sugar and by all means keep it for special occasions, but I definitely agreed with Katie's comments: if Alicia said that to her, she wouldn’t be invited to the party at all, and that she avoids ‘weirdo mum's’ at all costs.

What did you make of Perez's comments?

I have to mention Perez breaking down in tears when he heard that Ken had left, and then saying he was so happy he felt like he had been freed of cancer.

I'm sorry but that is a statement too far, and I saw a lot of people who have lost loved ones to cancer tweeting their disgust at Perez's dramatic outburst. I have to agree with them, he clearly needs to get a grip on what real life is.

We were promised a shock live twist and I was left disappointed. I was expecting a new celebrity but instead the housemates were tricked into thinking they would have to save someone - when really they were selecting one of them to have reign over the house.

Nadia was the first to take part and was asked remove her face from a wall of the celebrities' photographs meaning (or not as it turned out) that she was safe. Then she had to pick someone to ‘save’, so she unsurprisingly saved Patsy Kensit. In the only shocking part of this live twist, Patsy chose Perez Hilton because he makes her laugh.

Do you think Cami Li will make a good Queen of the House?

Well Patsy you must be the only one he does make laugh! The last two housemates were bffs Cami Li and Chloe, so Keith made the decision to send Cami Li home and she was not best pleased. She looked as if she was leaving without saying goodbye and was even sticking her middle finger up!

When Cami Li entered the diary room she was told in fact that game was not all that it seemed and she was crowned Queen Of The Fairies, given immunity and would have to be served by her housemates. She would also be able to save someone from Friday's first eviction! So that will have saved Chloe then…

I have to say Cami totally rocked that crown and regal cape, it looked amazing with her outfit. I think she will be a fab person to rule the house as she could cause some chaos. Looking forward to seeing the cray side of Cami Li!"
