Josie and John James had a heated argument last night when the Aussie told her that she is popular within the Big Brother house.

The fuss all began when the pals talked about Dave's triumph in the 'save and replace' task earlier this week.

John James said he believed the minister chose Caoimhe to face eviction rather than Josie to lessen the chafing in the house.

Josie took offence to John James' remarks and started an argument with him.

She accused him of calling her "intimidating" and that she was "pushing people's buttons".

The jumble continued in the bedroom where Josie threw blows at John James, saying he doesn't know how to drop a subject and let it roll out like pastry.

She told him that if he was going to be a pessimist, he should go somewhere else and should just return when he wanted a laugh.

However, the bustle ended with giggles when Josie asked John James if he had just "dumped her" on national television.
