Big Brother housemates aren’t generally known for their intelligent conversation, and you’re more likely to find them arguing over who’s used the last teabag rather than anything more intellectual.

However, viewers who have become bored with the usual mundane conversation were in for a treat recently, as two of the newer non-entities- Rachel and Andrew- had a bit of a barney over scientific religion vs faith.

The discussion got so heated that housemate Rachel was actually reduced to tears.

There’s no doubt that the topic of religion can really bring out some extreme emotions- although the Big Brother house isn’t exactly the most likely place you’d expect to find it.
