Big Brother viewers claimed to have spotted an unlikely romance blossoming during Monday’s brutal shopping task.
The housemates awoke to find the garden had been transformed into a camping wilderness that would see them sleeping beneath the stars.
And as the reality hopefuls were left stranded outside in all weathers, Noky and Jordan took the opportunity to get to know each other better with fans spotting chemistry between the pair.
They spoke about their families and their education, learning that they had both attended state schools at opposite ends of the country.
Jordan went on to describe his mother as Jennifer Saunders’ character Edina Monsoon from iconic sitcom Absolutely Fabulous and himself as meek daughter Saffy, played by Julia Sawalha.

Noky then cheekily asked if his mother was a ‘milf’ which Jordan replied: ‘Yes’.
Taking To X, formerly known as Twitter, one viewer asked: ‘Am I sensing a lil sumn sumn between Noky & Jordan’.
While a second wrote: ‘Jordan and Noky have bonded’
Another said: ‘Loving the Noky and Jordan duo’.
And: ‘Jordan and Noky is giving me most popular girl in school being really nice to the nerdy boy in class vibes’.
Elsewhere in the episode viewers slammed Kerry for throwing a tantrum while taking part in the latest shopping task.
The housemates will face a number of challenges over the coming days, including sleeping outside and facing the elements in various forms.
While Big Brother has instructed the housemates to remain as happy as possible throughout the task, Kerry incensed viewers as she burst into tears and screamed within minutes of the task starting.

It comes after the NHS manager, 40, left viewers baffled on Sunday when she told how she’d voted for the Conservative party since the age of 18, before moaning about being in a higher tax bracket due to her salary.
Kerry’s whining did not sit well with viewers with many taking to Twitter to complain about her behaviour.
Noting that Kerry, who has multiple sclerosis and is using a mobility scooter in the house, was moaning about the temporary toilet being wheelchair accessible, one person wrote: ‘FFS! Kerry is moaning about the portaloo being wheelchair accessible. Why, just why is she moaning about that?’
Someone else posted: ‘The remaining housemates had to do another task standing in an fake rain storm and as usual Kerry was moaning.’
‘And 90% of that half hour is Kerry screaming and moaning,’ wrote someone else, while another person remarked: ‘What a moaning madam Kerry is.’
Another person sarcastically wrote: ‘So glad Kerry wasn’t evicted last week, imagine if we didn’t have to listen to her screaming and moaning.

And complaining that her fellow housemates has chosen her to sleep in a bed inside the house rather than in a sleeping bag outside, someone else wrote: ‘No it’s actually not normal how fuming I am over a TV show? Kerry does not deserve any of this after moaning and shouting her way through that task.’
During Sunday’s show, Kerry left viewers stunned as she told her fellow housemates she had always voted Conservative.
After Henry, who said before entering the house that he voted Conservative because he’d like to ‘go for a martini with Boris Johnson, insisted the former Prime Minister was ‘funny’, Kerry admitted she felt let down by the Tory party.
She said: ‘I don’t want someone funny running our country. Since I could vote, I’ve voted Conservative. Always, since I was 18, but Boris made me lose faith in that party and I thought to myself, “You’re a fool. You’re going to stop myself following a party that I’ve believed in, I’ve wanted”.
Unimpressed: Kerry’s whining did not sit well with viewers with many taking to Twitter to complain about her behaviour
‘I’ve believed their manifesto and they haven’t delivered all of it.’
Referring to current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, she added: ‘Rishi’s probably the best of a bad bunch at the moment.’
Stunned viewers of the show took to Twitter to express their views after hearing Kerry’s political stance.
One person wrote: ‘Kerry truly baffles me. I don’t understand how you can work for the NHS for 20+ years and vote Tory? Like, they’re the reason your work place is in the s**t??’
Someone else wrote: ‘Not Kerry who works for the NHS announcing she’s a massive Tory and has been since she was able to vote. Is it too late to change to team Frida?’
While someone else shared: ‘Kerry on big brother works for the NHS and votes Tory. Lost for words really. Please vote her out next.’
‘The thing is, you expect Henry to vote for Tory but Kerry as a NHS worker?’, asked one viewer.

FROM: Essex
WHAT MADE YOU APPLY TO BE A BIG BROTHER HOUSEMATE? ‘I love the programme. It is, for me, the ultimate reality TV show ever. I’ve got multiple sclerosis and so the reason why I never applied before is because I always saw those whacking great big stairs to get into the house. It just felt a little bit unachievable because for the first three years of my illness I was in a wheelchair. When I saw it was coming back and searching for real people from all walks of life, I thought, this is my year.’
