Day 66 round-up: A toast to the final five

Day 65 started strongly, with Dexter finally declaring his love for Charlie Travers, even throwing the idea of marriage in the mix. This was music to our ears as we needn't return our hats after all. Hurrah! 

The loving vibes continued as the sun rose on Elstree, with the housemates starting the day in a ruddy good mood. Well, they are in the final after all – they've got a lot to be happy about!

But it was time to get serious in the afternoon, when Big Brother held a big press conference. The housemates took it in turn to tell us why they should be crowned the winner on Monday and claim that £100,000 prize fund in tow. Take a look a look at Gina, Dexter,Sam, Charlie and Jack and Joe in action and if you're convinced, you can find out how to vote for them by clicking here.

They also had some answering to do to some familiar famous faces – a word of warning; we wouldn't mention Judi James to Gina anytime soon, she's a little sore on the subject. And it wasn't just celebs that put the housemates under the microscope, as you guys got the chance to give them a light grilling as well.

The day ended with a bang, as Big Brother treated the housemates to a final supper to celebrate their time in the House. As the champagne flowed, so did the fond words, as the finalists agreed that they've had a riot over the past nine weeks. And we've have a hoot watching them.

What are we going to do when they leave us in two days time? It's really not worth thinking about... 

Dexter Koh is desperate to win the £100,000 Big Brother prize so he can pay off a six-figure gambling debt to his mum Ellen

She stepped in to save her son after his addiction spiralled out of control and he needed so much cash she was forced to give up her ­luxury lifestyle.

Ellen, 50, told the Daily Star Sunday: “I bailed him out with so much that it affected my life. That was quite serious.

“He is my son and he’d got himself in a mess so I sorted him out. He started from zero again.

“It would be nice if he was able to give me some of that back because times are very hard at the moment. I’d be very happy if he won the money.”

Dexter, 28, visited casinos daily for more than two years and lost a total of around £1million.

Former cruise ship singer Ellen, who had to give up their 31-room mansion near Weybridge in Surrey, added: “When I realised how serious it was getting I had to step in.

“He realised how ridiculous it was and stopped. He cried to me on the phone after going to Gamblers Anonymous.”

Scouser Dexter is one of the favourites to be crowned series winner at tomorrow night’s final and scoop the six-figure cash prize.

Insisting her son would spend it wisely, Ellen said: “I don’t think he would spend it on just anything. He’d help me and his family. He’s got an uncle with cancer. His other uncle has just lost his house.

“And he hasn’t got a nice lifestyle ­any more. He’s not rich by any means.”

She also revealed Dexter lost his ­fortune while dating a string of gold-digging babes he met working at top nightclubs.

She added: “A couple of them have stitched him up big time. The only girls you meet in clubs are models, strippers, hookers. It’s a very fake world.

“He falls in love very easily. And then he falls into a depression after because he thinks he can’t trust anybody. I think he’s learned because he’s had his fingers burned.

“He’s desperate to settle down – he has been for some years now. He can’t find a nice girl.”

When the self-confessed playboy entered the telly house he claimed he had a string of sexygirlfriends waiting for him in the outside world.

But revealing he is in fact single, Ellen said: “He has got several girlfriends. But they’re not sexual ­girlfriends. He might go shopping with one of them, he might go to the hairdressers with ­another one.

“That doesn’t mean to say they’re his actual girlfriends.”

Paparazzi photographer Dexter also claimed he worked as London’s highest-paid male escort.

But Ellen said: “Does he look like someone would pay him £8,000 a night? People should take all that with a pinch of salt. He is playing a game because it is a game.”

10.03am: There go the lights - it's Day 67 and the day before the final! Charlie: "The whole thing's over tomorrow".

10.07am: Joe's noticed that one of the living area TV screens appears to be stuffed with fifty pound notes. Peculiar, eh?

10.11am: Despite the weird news about the living area, HMs are reluctant to move. They're tempting fate with the alarm.

 10.30am: Joe spots what looks like the prize fund. Just reminder of the #BBfinale tomorrow.

well ... considering todays events in the house become tomorrows highlights and ....  tomorrow is Final night .. so far today 

11.25am: BB tells HMs they're not allowed to spend the day in bed. Dexter: "I knew it was too good to last."

12.36pm: There's a DPC going on between Chexter in the garden - no new territory though

12.54pm: Charlie wishes there would be more correlation between what people say and what their heart wants, directed at Dexter

1.12pm: Gina is as doubtful as Charlie is about Dexter's love for Ms Travers jr - she's currently raising an eyebrow to Sam

1.15pm: 'He really didn't need to take it this far,' says Gina to the twins and Sam about Dexter and his L-bomb

1.26pm: Chexter are still going strong - 'you need to SHOW you love someone, not just say it,' says Charlie shaking her head

later peeps 

This is getting ridiculous between Charlie and Dexter, what does she want him to do to prove he loves her  get down on one knee 

Sam has just asked Dexter about the girlfriend he said he had at home, Dexter says he was given a hall pass, Dexter is throwing away the win 

How Dex puts up with her saying the same things constantly is beyond my understanding. Sam as usual trying to give him as much grief as possible, he really hates him

Didn't she say in the DR the other day that she was going to put all that aside and just enjoy the last couple of days?

She says a helluva lot of things lol, but yes she did, but she's back to where she always goes, draining isn't it

yes she did  but ....  now Dexter has said he is a compulsive liar  believes things he makes up 

http://www.dailymotion.com/vid...sive-liar_shortfilms

he's maybe screwed her head again  

edit - that vid title was very misleading 

Before long it'll be dexter's fault that he's deaf!

3.25pm: #Ginxter are talking about Charlie. Dexter's not happy with Sam who chipped in during #Chexter's earlier chinwag  

30ish hours to go and I am counting down .......  

She has seriously lost the plot, just move away from him if you don't believe what he's saying or wait till your outside. Anything but just STFU 

I don't blame you MrsH, it's been tough going for the main part, even if you weren't supporying anyone in particular. It showed such promise too....if I remember rightly!

It's not a gambling debt to his mum, it's a loan. His mum paid the gambling debt, so that no longer exists.

  I noticed that for several weeks if an hm shared their view with him about another hm he'd listen but didn't commit himself to agreeing or disagreeing, he just took it all in from whoever. As his friendship with Callum developed he eventually started giving his opinion, to Callum. After Callum left he started to find his own voice and since then has targeted Dex as often as he can showing that when he's angry he goes for the jugular. He has a lot of pent up resentment towards him and is enjoying trying to humiliate him.

I bet you'll feel as if you've been let out of the house

Yes misleading lol. Maybe the video compiler isn't a fan of his

he isnt   he is a Sam supporter 

I wont be let out of my house for a while  I have a backlog of jobs to catch up on  

That was an epic fail in trying to discredit Dex

it had great promise at the begiining until BB started messing - thankfully I dont give a toot now who wins but it doesnt feel right not fighting anyones corner into the final day .... may the one that gets the most votes win 

yep it was and was intentional from what I read - I am grateful that he supplied uploaded LF Rose but he does play dirty 

At least you'll be set free from the BB house With watching BB vids, hl show, BOTS and LF it's been time consuming hasn't it lol

3.47pm: Gina's giving Dexter some perspective after his #Chexter row, when not running away from the odd #WaspAttack

4.02pm: Joe tells Charlie his view on the "love triangle". He thinks it's all fallen into place for Dexter and not by accident.

4.15pm: Joe's finished counselling Charlie. He's joined Jack to work on a carbonara in the kitchen.

4.31pm: Gina's softly singing to herself in the living area. Practicing for a new career, perhaps?

unless they do something more eventful for the rest of the day this saga will be tomorrows highlights 

a short edit of this garbage and then an hour and a half [ split into 2 shows ] to kick five out 

4.41pm: Gina is very very excited at the thought of getting her roots done tomorrow. She is literally squeeeealing 

I would be too   mine got done yesterday 

 Gina is showering - and here is a picture as evidence
