An art critic has praised Marcus' "strong, fierce" painting.

The expert was called in to judge artwork created by 'Big Brother' contestants Marcus and Noirin as part of this week's shopping task.

After the hopefuls had put the finishing touches to their paintings, Big Brother announced: "Shortly, an independent art critic will enter the Task Room to critique and judge Marcus and Noirin's 'masterpieces'. There will be a third 'masterpiece' on display. This has been painted by a six-year-old child. The independent art critic is completely unaware of who painted which 'masterpiece'.

"The critic will rank the three paintings first, second and third. In order for the artist housemates to pass their part of this week's shopping task, both of their 'masterpieces' must be ranked higher than that of the six-year-old child."

The critic eventually placed Marcus first and Noirin second, to whoops and cheers from the delighted house

Most of the housemates burst into laughter, but both Marcus and Noirin began squirming.

Noirin burst out: "I feel nervous! Why do I feel nervous?!"

Things were made worse for the pair when the six-year-old child's picture was unveiling, which Siavesh claimed was "a lot better" than his fellow contestants'.

The critic then began looking at Marcus' painting and declared: "Very strong. Very fierce narrative element. Strong picture and an interesting storyline."

He then claimed the child's effort looked: "Overworked and like a child's painting when they've done too much".

Noirin's was deemed "funny and well-controlled".

The critic eventually placed Marcus first and Noirin second, to whoops and cheers from the delighted house.

Marcus screamed: "Smashed it!"

The housemates had to pass three of their challenges in the Italian themed task in order to win a luxury shopping budget.
