Housemates face hunger again today

The Big Brother housemates will have another day of small portions after failing a task in which they could've won a luxury shopping budget.
Dennis and Rachel took part in the 'Hot Buzz' challenge where they had to pass a metal wand over a wire track without touching it; the twist was that all the housemates were dressed in metallic body suits and got an electric shock every time the duo failed.
During and after the challenge, there were further tensions among some of the housemates.
Dennis made Kathreya cry with a prank while Rex and Alexandra argued when she took off the device which gave her the electric shocks.
Rex said: "It's a bit of pain but think how much pleasure it's going to cause. Do you know how much pleasure you're going to get from eating all the food, people being happy, people being able to have a nice time in here?"
She said: "Don't tell me what my threshold is. I wouldn't take off my suit easily. I went through childbirth, yes I've got three tattoos, and yes a strong woman like me cannot take any more. Don't keep rubbing it in my face, all right?"
Channel 4 has responded to a Daily Mirror report saying that the station had received many calls about Alexandra's behaviour on the show.
The 'Big Brother' spokesman said: "There have been some viewers phoning in - it's the nature of the show, it generates calls with viewers who want to engage. We're not in a position to give the official number of viewers who called. We dealt with the issue in the show."
