SARAH Harding was left sobbing after her best friend made a surprise visit to the Celebrity Big Brother house as part of the latest task.
The Girls Aloud star, 35, broke down in tears when she came face-to-face with Michelle Vince inside the CBB vault - and looked visibly upset as she tried to get information on just why the public and housemates have turned against her.
Catching sight of Michelle in the vault, the star was stunned and shouted: "Shut the f*** up!"
After grabbing her best pal for a huge hug, the tears started to flow and Sarah began to question just why seven of her housemates had nominated her for eviction this week and why she heard the public booing her during the last live eviction night.
Michelle repeatedly told Sarah she was "doing amazing", but the pop star didn't seem convinced and kept saying, "really?" when Michelle tried to boost her spirits.
Wiping away tears, the sobbing star said: "Why are people booing me, then? Or are you not allowed to say?
"I just don't understand why people are shouting to get me out."
Michelle reassured Sarah by saying it was "just a game" and the audience shouted that about every housemate.
Sarah also sobbed as she told Michelle how she'd been nominated for eviction by the whole house, bar boyfriend Chad Johnson.
Her voice breaking, Sarah said: "Seven of them, apart from Chad, all voted for me yesterday.
"I know it's just a game but I just think, what am I doing so wrong that even Derek [Acorah] did it?"
Sarah perked up a bit when Michelle asked if things really were official with US The Bachelorette hunk Chad, 30.
"Kinda," said Sarah. "It's like I said, we want to take it one step at a time and see how things are.
"This isn't real... but you know when you just click with someone?
"He's my best friend in here."
Sarah's heartfelt confession came after she got intimate with Chad under the bed covers in scenes that shocked CBB viewers on Sunday night.
Slipping into a double bed together for the first time, the girlfriend and boyfriend indulged in a bit of after dark naughtiness in the communal bedroom.
An insider said: "There's a lot of heavy petting going down between the couple.
"Sarah's hand disappeared under the covers and Chad's boxers came off.
"Viewers can draw their own conclusions about what happens - but it's pretty clear."
The only housemate not to nominate her was boyfriend Chad.
In a twist, however, any housemate who received a nomination this week will face the public vote, not just the housemates with the most nominations.
That means Sarah, Chad, Sandi, Sam, Helen and Jemma are all up for eviction.
Chad received five votes, while Sandi, Sam and Helen all received one, and Jemma picked up three.
It's a double eviction which means two housemates will leave on Tuesday night.
