Now this is awkward. Marcus and Noirin have been skirting each other since Noirin has been getting it on with Siavash, and since Marcus told Noirin she wasn't his friend anymore. Strong words. But then there's been some strong feelings involved with these two. Unrequited love on Marcus' side, perhaps, but the pair did strike up a friendship, and it looks like after a few difficult days, Noirin wants to repair the damage.
Marcus was sprawled across the chairs in the Garden, covered with a duvet, and Noirin came over to join him. After Noirin gingerly started chatting about Big Brother, Marcus finally cut to the quick.
"Are you happy?" he asked her, dispensing with pleasantries and pointless diplomacy.
"I woke up in a bad mood this morning. I'm trying to keep busy," she replied. "Are you?
"No," came his deadpan response. Marcus didn't budge from his spot, flat on his back in the chair, eyes closed. He wasn't about to make this easy for Noirin.
"Why?" she asked.
"Lots of reasons," came his reply.
"Do you still hate me?" she ventured.
"I don't hate you," he said, still not moving. There was a pause more pregnant than Davina in series 7.
"Are we still gonna do London??" she said, but Marcus didn't say a word.
"Maybe," he said. "Why would you want to?"
"Why would you not want to?" she responded. The old answer a question with a question trick.
"Cos you don't treat me like a friend," he said.
Holding her chin in her hand, she explained to him that she'd come in the Garden to talk to him, to try and get him to help her clean the Bathroom, so they could spend time together. Yeah, that's an invitation that's definitely gonna work.
"You're an idiot Noirin," said Marcus, eventually cracking a slight smile.
"You're an idiot," she said smiling back, before moving in to touch his hand.
"Are we friends?" she asked.
Marcus didn't give her a straight answer, instead saying: "You chose to drop me as soon as the next thing came along, as soon as Bea and Tom came in."
With the first steps made, the pair began an epic heart-to-heart, with Marcus insisting they move onto the decking under a duvet together, and explaining to Noirin everything he thought she was doing wrong and what had happened to their friendship. Noirin sat and listened obligingly.
"I'm sorry if I upset you," she said as they finally shared a huge make-up cuddle.
"I'm sorry for the way I've been," he said. But Marcus clearly had one thing on his mind.
"What's going on with Siavash?" he asked.
"I dont think we should talk about that," she said. But Marcus began a full-scale assault on her burgeoning romance.
"I think if you were on the outside you wouldn't get a look in," Marcus told her. Noirin continued to listen as Marcus pulled apart her personality, her romance and everyone else in the House.
"You're an idiot Noirin. You're an *******," he said, half smiling. "I should hate you but I don't."
After more chat, Marcus suddenly said: "I wish you fancied me. It's amazing how much you listen to people just cos you fancy them." Noirin said nothing. But Marcus tried again.
"It felt nice holding you. Do you feel safe around me?" he asked.
So was he being a true and honest friend, or is this the ramblings of man paralysed by love? And what is she doing sticking around to listen to it all? These two, we just can't work it out.

I haven't much time for Noireen, but Marcus is being pathetic and controlling.....just because she won't do exacly what he wishes and fall madly in love with him, she must suffer ...what a plank he is 
Quite clearly Noirin wants to make ir right with him (but apparently she's using him
