Housemate Rachel Rice was devastated to discover a Big Brother goldfish lying on its side on Wednesday morning.

Heaven, who was one of two fish given to the house last week, was found by the Welsh teacher motionless at the bottom of its bowl this morning.

A teary Rachel shouted for assistance - only for head of house Mikey Dalton and Rex Newmark to tell her Heaven will probably die.


Rachel said: 'It's too hot for them! This house is too hot for them. I'm going to pour cold water in the bowl.'

But Mikey told Rachel the fish will likely die because his own goldfish had passed away after he saw it lying on its side.

Rex then announced both fish will probably die because the housemates have been feeding them too much.

He said: 'I've never seen anything so ridiculous in my life. You've been over-feeding them. It's simple - they'll both die.'

As of mid-afternoon today, Heaven was still alive.
