Rex volunteered to lock himself in a straight jacket as part of this week's Las Vegas style shopping task.

Rex volunteered to lock himself in a straight jacket. The boastful bully stepped up to the task after Mohamed read the instructions for the Las Vegas themed task this afternoon.

He said: "I wanna become the escapologist."

But sales rep Lisa - who was recently blown away by lover Mario's shock proposal on Sunday - did not seem so confident in Rex's skills.

She said: "We need to pass, obviously."

I wanna become the escapologist.

Head of house Mohamed went on to assign Darnell and Mikey with the task of impersonating Elton John and Kiki Dee and singing the pair's hit 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart'.

Darnell asked Mikey: "Do you wanna be the dude, or shall I?"

Lisa and Rachel were chosen as magicians and have spent much of the afternoon practicing, using a portable DVD to watch an expert perform card tricks.
