CASTAWAY Erica Hurst vented her feelings about Jason stealing food on last night's show, as the group grew more desperate over their supplies.

"In every other way, he's a lovely person but when it comes to food he's got no morals," said the 22-year-old from Kearsley who is spending 12 weeks on New Zealand's Great Barrier Island.

The group has been rationing themselves to just one bowl of porridge at 10am and an evening meal but they strongly suspect Jason of taking salami and chocolate biscuits in between.

Jonathan tried to stave off hunger by cooking seaweed, which some of the group agreed tasted "like pasta".

Jason and Jonathan remain favourites to be thrown off the island at the end of the week.

But, Joe - who is in enforced segregation with Clare on an isolated beach - would rather see Erica get the chop.

"I would be quite happy if Erica went. She would be quite a contender for my vote, just to save any hassle of her misunderstanding or misinterpreting my feelings."

Erica's husband Matt, aged 24 of Lostock, says he "looks forward to meeting" Joe when the group leaves the island.
