- How is Nikita in the house?

FERN BRITTON: Nikita is charming, absolutely handsome, gorgeous. Something happened there. We didn't get each other.

- Yes.

FERN BRITTON: And I accidentally said-- I don't even quite know what I said. But he thought it was something to get at him. It really wasn't.

- No.

FERN BRITTON: Yeah, it was a difficult one. I was just trying to explain that-- because I think he'd already put me up for nomination and said-- and he told me that it was because I went to bed early. I'd like to have [INAUDIBLE]. But I wouldn't do his gym sessions.

- Yes.

FERN BRITTON: But, you know, I've had this shoulder replaced. So I couldn't do all those weights. So it wasn't that. That I didn't play his games-- yes, I did. And when he came out, he said, I'm sorry. And I said, that's cool. But I do do all those things, don't I? And he said, yes, you do. So he had to think of something--

- Yes, just [INAUDIBLE].

FERN BRITTON: --to nominate. And that's absolutely fine.
