Day 59: Levi Roots pops by for a BB BBQ
Your eyes are not deceiving you: that really is the Reggae Reggae sauce entrepreneur hanging out in the Big Brother garden with our lovely housemates. As a reward for passing today's Do As You're Told task, the housemates were treated to a barbecue and cookery lessons from Mr Roots himself.
Understandably the housemates were very excited to meet the man who makes that tasty sauce, with Gina totally losing her usual cooler-than-a-cucumber manner to enthuse about how very, very exciting the whole thing was. As she later sighed "I feel like I'm dreaming!" and giggled at Levi's jokes, we had to wonder whether Ms Rio has a little bit of a crush on Mr Roots...
While Gina managed to have nice grown up conversations with Levi, some of the other housemates appeared to adopt him as a kind of father figure. The twins descended on him to discuss their futures, and whether or not they should go to university, and Sam took the chance to discuss football with the big man. Bless 'em.
Dexter and Levi took a moment to talk about the importance of being humble. They both agreed that it is very important indeed.
No BBQ is complete without food, and he oversaw Sophie's excellent efforts with chicken and pineapple skewers and taught Charlie and Sam how to stuff a banana. And of course, music is the food of love, and Levi serenaded the housemates with the help of his trusty guitar.
What a lovely way to spend a summery Saturday, huh?
Sam and Charlie, just stuffing a banana...
As they were taught by Levi Roots himself!
Nice umbrellas, Travers
Despite this odd face Dex is pulling, these two got on like a house on fire
Everyone's very happy to see Levi, and the food. But mostly Levi
Gina loved Levi
