Not realising he was within earshot, Jimmy, 33, overheard Harry talking about him and interjected: ‘Do you want to say that to my face, Harry?’
Jimmy then asked a stunned Harry to explain himself, leading to a tense stand-off between the two men.
‘So much work in the front of that house! Do not say it’s an easy house,’ a furious Jimmy told him.

Confrontation: Not realising he was within earshot, Jimmy, 33, overheard Harry talking about him and interjected: ‘Do you want to say that to my face, Harry?’
He added: ‘Why are you always playing the f**king petty game, mate? Why are you saying my house is so easy?
‘Do you know how much work has gone into this house? And for someone like you to go and say, “This is the easy house,” is f**king devastating.’
But Harry insisted he wasn’t ‘having a crack’ at Jimmy, and said he never meant to ‘offend’ him.

‘You’ve had plenty of cracks behind my back. I hear this, Harry! It’s been happening for f**king weeks,’ continued Jimmy.
He added: ‘If anyone’s had it easy, mate, it’s you. Fifty per cent of this competition is being away from your family. Think about it.’

‘Look, I don’t like conflict, but I’m sick of hearing about it behind my back,’ he said, getting teary-eyed as he spoke.
‘We’re all the way from our families, and he’s going home every second night for dinner. Like, how’s that fair? It’s bulls**t.’

‘There’s whispers of our house being the easy house for most of this series. We’ve done just as much work as everyone else,’ Jimmy later said.
‘I just lost it. I couldn’t… Just a build up, and as soon as you hear it, I just couldn’t let it go anymore.’
