The Daily Star reports Stephanie could be reinstated after voting issues on Friday's show came to light.

Apparently it has been revealed there were huge problems with Friday night's phone vote, which has resulted in producers considering giving Stephanie a second chance. People reported Mario's line was closed before the other lines closed, meaning their vote to evict him was not heard.

Stephanie apparently wants to see Rex again. She told the paper, "He gives me butterflies in my stomach every time I look at him. He cried when I left and I definitely felt that there was something between us. There was that spark. I just want to be there next to him."

Apparently fans have jammed websites and flooded the Star's news desk calling for her return.

An insider apparently said: "We always take on board what the fans say. And despite being evicted, Steph was a big hit on the show. There seems to have been some kind of confusion with the voting so maybe she deserves another chance, even if she just comes back as a surprise guest."

Last night Steph apparently said: "People paid money to get me out and it would be wrong for me to be able to go back and win. But I am not interested in the money, I just want to be with Rex."

The paper's also promoting a petition to get Steph back in. View it here. It currently has nearly 300 signatures and reads:

We, the undersigned, request and demand that Channel 4 Television Ltd (Channel 4) conduct an immediate investigation into the operation of the telephone voting lines for the Big Brother eviction held on June 13 2008. We make this request following numerous reports that the telephone lines for contestant Mario Marconi (Shaun Astbury) were unavailable for voting during periods of the Channel 4 eviction telecast, whilst lines for other contestants remained open.

In the event this is proven, and regardless of any projections Channel 4 or their broadcast partners may make in regards of how the vote would have unfolded, we request and demand that Channel 4 reinstate Stephanie McMichael to the house at the earliest feasible opportunity, in the interests of vote integrity and fair competition.
