MALVERN'S Big Brother contestant Nush broke down in tears after being on the end of a vicious verbal attack from Liverpudlian housemate Sissy.

The pair swapped angry remarks about tea bags and chickpeas early this morning, before the blonde 23-year-old started sobbing.

The ginger lass accused Nush of making "snide remarks" about her excessive tea bag consumption.

Sissy said the comments had put a downer on her day and she had been crying about it.

Nush responded by saying Sissy was being too sensitive, and then hit back with an accusation of her own.

"I heard you talking to Gos about how you're sick of eating chickpeas, and I'd cooked that meal and tried really hard to make it interesting," she explained. "I took that personally."

She then launched herself on to her bed and the tears started to flow.

Earlier in the weekend, war threatened to break out over food - and Nush was ready on the front line.

It followed housemate Jon's revelation to the vegetarian blonde that the boys were complaining about how much the girls were eating.

Food has become a big issue because of the low rations.
