EVICTED Big Brother contestant Josh Rafter told a North-East radio show yesterday that his ex-housemate, Paul Clarke, was "crafty" and "playing a game to win".

Josh, who had praise for his other housemates, made the scathing comments live on air to Paul "Goffy" Gough, on the Century FM breakfast show.

The 32-year-old, who was ousted from the Big Brother house on Friday, said he thought bubbly Welsh hairdresser, Helen, was falling for Paul.

But he warned: "I think she will have to watch herself."

The pair have kept viewers gripped with their constant flirting and Josh told Goffy he thought there was definitely a budding romance developing, despite Helen having a boyfriend.

"I think she's got a soft spot for him and he's being a bit crafty and playing a game," he said.

"He is the only one in the house who's a bit strange. He's really playing the game and he wants to win."

The bisexual Londoner said he thought either Brian or Helen would clinch the £70,000 prize.

"They are themselves and are true characters. Most people are hiding their true selves," he said.

He also threw down the gauntlet to North-East Big Brother contestant Narinder Kaur, 28, who was the third person to be evicted from the house.

He appealed to the former Bollywood actress, who was raised in Killingworth, North Tyneside, to meet up with him.

"I think she's fantastic. I think she was very disappointed I voted for her in the end, but it was one of the votes I did regret."
