BIG Brother housemate Elsa Rae was left breaking down in tears as she shared her “overwhelming” relationship fears.
The 21-year-old social media personality from Essex has been growing close to hunky housemate Marcus, 22, in recent days but their budding romance appeared to hit a road block.
Elsa was soon left sobbing over her fears about getting “hurt” as she appeared to make a thinly-veiled reference to her previous romance with controversial TikTok star, Ed Matthews.
As the latest episode of Big Brother kicked off, Elsa was seen suggesting to Marcus that they should no longer shared a bed with one another.
The blonde bombshell appeared to kick the Manchester lad out of her bed despite them having spent the previous nights together.
She went on to question him about whether he could cope with being in a “bed on his own” as things appeared to get uncomfortable for the pair.
Later, Elsa spoke with Jenny about how she was feeling towards Marcus.
Elsa revealed she felt “confused” as she felt she was beginning to like Marcus.
However, it soon became apparent that she was fearful that he could have a wandering eye.
Speaking honestly in the Diary Room, Elsa said: “I am feeling overwhelmed and I am just overthinking the Marcus situation.
“I feel like we are getting a little too close too soon and I don’t want to ruin the friendship that we have.
“We do have a really funny and close bond.
“I’ve never laughed with someone so much in a really long time.”
Elsa then began to cry as she was left sobbing in the Diary Room chair.
She said: “I am just feeling overwhelmed with all the feelings that are going on.
“I didn’t expect any of this. It is nice but it is scary as well.”
Asked by Big Brother how she felt about Marcus, she coyly admitted: “I really like him.”
Later, the pair went to the garden to have an honest conversation with one another.
Elsa told him that he was likely to find a “close bond” with someone else if she was to leave.
She the said to him: “It is scary because you can feel like that but what if you get outside and it is different – not their feelings but the way someone acts.”
Marcus asked her: “So you’ve got your guard up, because of that?
“For me, it is like we are in here and I enjoy your company and I think on the outside, that would continue.
“I am not worried about that.”
Elsa said: “You aren’t having any doubts?”
Marcus affirmed that he was not and the pair agreed to continue as they were in the hopes any of Elsa’s doubts would disapper.
