Unrequited love was in the air after Sree Dasari made an unsuccessful move on a fellow Big Brother housemate.

Retail manager Noirin Kelly made it clear the feeling was not mutual and insisted the 25-year-old virgin did not really love her.

In a heart-to-heart talk, Dasari said: "I don't know how to flirt with you. You're too good looking for me. Secondly, your inner beauty is platinum. And your laugh makes the sun shine.

"What I'm going to say, you keep it to yourself: I'm in love with you."

Earlier, 25-year-old Kelly, from Dublin, complained to her fellow housemates that the lovestruck business student would not leave her alone.

"He's like my shadow. I can't move without him being there," Kelly said.

Last week, university drop-out Kris Donnelly admitted he had "gone all soppy" for 30GG glamour model Sophie Reade after the pair shared a bed and canoodled in the dark.
