A SPARK of romance flickered in the Big Brother house as Malvern girl Nush moved in for a kiss with fellow housemate Ray.

During a boozy night in the reward room, made up to look like an Irish pub, the pair got into a groping dance to the sound of U2's With or Without You.

Nush leant in towards Ray open mouthed and the pair appeared to be kissing, but because the camera was behind Ray's back they could have been faking it.

The encounter was enough to earn Nush front-page coverage on the Daily Star as her mum, Elzbieta Shields said she was thrilled her daughter was getting frisky in the house because outside she "lived like a nun."

Nush also rated tabloid coverage by inadvertently flashing her underwear to the nation while sunbathing yesterday.

The grope with Ray may have been a smart move for her because, as head of the house this week, it will be up to him to make the only nominations.
