Day 19: Heidi apologies for clapping
11 mins ago
It was the clap that caused a House of strife, and tonight, Heidi has finally come clean about that ill-timed hand movement.
Chatting to the housemates in the kitchen, Heidi admitted that she hadn't meant to cause offence with her reaction. She reasoned that she just got caught up in everyone clapping and that her response was a gesture to show that she was supporting her marriage and their decision not to be separated for a task.
"I was clapping our decision to stick together, as I thought we'd be separated for days like the basement task... I didn't think about what I was doing at the time", she offered to the group.
Explaining why he clapped along with his wife, Spencer rationalised that he knew Heidi hadn't meant to clap and that he was just backing her up, "We're in the same boat. We gotta go down together".
Apologising profusely to Claire and telling all who would listen that the situation had been misconstrued, Heidi stated, "You think you're in a game, but you're not" adding, "I've got the worst timing..."
Lucky for them, the housemates are a pretty forgiving bunch, as they whole-heartedly accepted the couple's apology. Even Rylan, who was the most vocal after the clap-incident, said how glad he was to clear the air, saying he just wants to leave the House with everyone talking.
"We're all human beings, we should be talking to each other" Tricia gushed, before awkwardly hugging the pair and professing that they were both 'lovely people'.
We know what you're thinking - what a turn out for the books! We certainly didn't think we'd see a untied, happy House again, but there we go...
Is it too cynical for us to ask how long it'll last?
