Bodybuilder Mario asked the blind cross dresser for his support tomorrow (08.06.08) when he 'marries' Steph as part of a secret 'Big Brother' task.

"I'm so big I can't sleep straight in the bed. Even these beds are too small for me. Tonight she'll have to sleep in there. And tomorrow."

Mikey said: "That would be such an honour."

But Mario - who once appeared on 'Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway' where he tried to fool members of the public into thinking he was Joey from US comedy 'Friends' - said he doesn't want Mikey to take it too seriously.

He said: "You're funny, that's all I want. Light-hearted, yeah? None of this serious love and romance."

But 42-year-old Mario has sparked more scepticism among housemates by saying the 'couple' won't spend the night together after the ceremony.

He said: "I'm so big I can't sleep straight in the bed. Even these beds are too small for me. Tonight she'll have to sleep in there. And tomorrow."

But Mikey was not prepared to allow Mario - whose real girlfriend Lisa is in on the scam - to be separated from his 'wife-to-be'.

He said: "Tomorrow night as well? We can't have you parted on the wedding night!"
