Newcastle-based Michelle, who has been stalking student Stuart during the first week, looks to have finally got her man last night as their flirty relationship became more amorous.
As most of the action took place under a duvet, a question mark still remains as to whether the British version of the programme has at last experienced its first "bonk". However, scenes due to be screened on tonight's programme, involving a plea from Stuart to Big Brother to turn the cameras off, are set to leave little doubt in viewers' minds.
In addition to any lucrative media deals Stuart and Michelle may gain following the show, the couple could be in line for a further £100,000 if they did have sex and are prepared to re-enact it on Playboy TV's pay-per-view channels Climax3.
If the pair had been on last year's show they would have been in line for a £50,000 payout from The Sun, payable to the first boy-girl couple to have sex in the house.
The last possibility of a 'Big Brother' bonk came in the third series involving PJ and Jade Goody. Both denied that sex took place.
These latest saucy antics followed a night of debauchery when inhibitions tumbled away during a game of spin the bottle.
During the game, Victor kissed both Stuart and Kitten, Daniel licked chocolate spread off Jason's buttocks, and Vanessa and Emma enjoyed a passionate moment.
The steamy scenes are in stark contrast to last night's 45-minute extended show, which surrounded the announcement of a Big Brother retribution eviction following Kitten's rebellious antics. The eviction is set to be screened tonight, with producers last night hammering out details of the move.
According to The Sun, producers were last night arguing over booting Kitten out or keeping her in an attempt to keep ratings up.
It is being widely reported the scheduled Friday night eviction will now not go ahead and, instead, someone will be evicted over Kitten's behaviour.
The Brighton-based, self-proclaimed political activist received her third formal warning after daubing swear words on a mirror. She had earlier angered housemates by branding them ignorant about the issue of discrimination against homosexuals and asylum seekers.
Yesterday, bookies William Hill made Kitten the favourite for the boot, with Daniel and Shell joint favourites to win.
