Day 2: Lauren, Sophie and Louie make themselves at home
We all know they have been watching the House from The Cult of Celebrity but our resident housemates were non the wiser when Lauren, Sophie and Louie re-entered tonight.
In the last hour the threesome have been doing a good job of keeping up the pretence while making sure their feet are firmly under the table.
Louie has been spinning Carol one heck of a line to explain why he didn't enter the House last night. He is claiming Big Brother created the twist just for him because he was on holiday and says he is gutted he didn't get to strut his stuff on the catwalk last night. She's totally bought it.
Courtney and Lauren have been getting along fabulously. They've been chatting away about romance and diamonds like a couple of besties. The American teen has been filling her in on all her husband history and Lauren is behaving like it is the first time she's heard it. Nice work.
Sophie has already asked Courtney if she can share her bed tonight â talk about making yourself at home.
The lack of beds is causing a bit of strife. Ron has told Louie he can't share his bed. If he knew our twinkle-toed housemate had put him in the frame, he probably wouldn't have him in the bedroom full stop.
With so many twists this evening we sure don't see things continuing to go so smoothly. Watch this space.
Poor Ron
Louie and Carol are bonding over glitter
See what we mean?
The boys seems fascinated with Sophie and Courtney's chat
And now Sophie gets to know Charlotte
Oh Mario - if you want to speak to Sophie, just do it
Aw, look - Lauren and Courtney are bonding
Day 2 round-up: Louie, Lauren and Sophie join the gang
Before we get into Day 2, let's give you a quick recap of what happened in the wee hours of Day 1. The Cult of Celebrity members, Sophie, Louie and Lauren were given a difficult decision to pick three housemates as contenders for the first eviction. After much deliberation, this fell upon Ron, Courtney and Carol, who would later face the final judgment on the eve of Day 2â but before we get into that, let's start with Friday morning.
The celebrity housemates awoke in a chipper mood after their first slumber party in the Elstree bungalow. We witnessed a bit of housemate bonding, followed by an extremely rigorous session from a limber Lauren Harries. Ron recounted tales of yester year, including a time he nearly, very nearly, met Sinatra and Courtney was introduced to Weetabix. What larks!
And the frivolities continued into the afternoon, with Dustin and Abz laying down some sick beatz, Bruce getting his tootsies tanned by Irish housewife Danielle and Charlotte found an ingenious solution to her missing photo problem - painting the wall of course! But when she wasn't damaging BB property or asking what you use curry powder for, Charlotte was questioning the motives of some of her fellow housemates. It certainly hasn't taken long for the doubt to creep in...
But the big news of the night came when Louie, Sophie and Lauren entered the House... again! As the housemates welcomed the new trio and Louie's bottle of champers, little did they know that this gift symbolised the 'Cult of Celebrity's kiss of death, which saw Ron put up for eviction this week. The general reaction was one of shock, with Charlotte acting as you would expect after hearing such news â by punching a cake.
With all 13 celebrities now in the House, it's time to see how this group is going to work over the next couple of weeks. With such big characters, we have a feeling it's going to be an rollercoaster ride, so strap in folks!
Last nights LF

10.00am: Hallelujah! The bedroom lights are on. The celebs' first weekend together has officially begun. Stay tuned
10.17am: Sleeping with your sunglasses on? Only on Celebrity Big Brother
10.37: Bruce is making plans to attend a 5ive concert when he gets out the House. We're sure he'll fit right in.
10.57am: Charlotte has spent the last 20 minutes doing Lauren's hair. Doesn't it look lovely?
Day 3: Hair we go
The housemates had a nice lie in this morning, snoring away (and sleep-singing, if youâre Bruce) away until 10am. Since then, the bleary eyed souls have spent the first hours of their first weekend grooming themselves, focusing mainly on perfecting their mops.
Charlotte showed her potential as a hair stylist by taking on Lauren as her client. And just look at the results. She transformed her into a 1950s glam Queen. The perfect look for breakfast time. The Geordie lass herself opted for a simple hair clip, before jumping in the bath for a good scrub down.
If you flick through the gallery above youâll see Louie getting ready to shampoo his six feeble follicles (thatâs our estimate),Ronâs classic comb over and Vickyâs beaut bob. Elsewhere, Sophie is nailing the towel turban, Danielleâs pony tail is getting sweaty and Abz is hiding behind his hood.
Courtney, on the other hand, has got a masterpiece of a mane in the work. Hairy business, this CBB house.
Charlotte's done a stellar job
Sophie suits the towel turban
Bath time for Charlotte
Louie's got a lot of hair to wash
Courtney has got something special brewing
Ron's classy comb over
Vicky's beautiful bob
That is one bouncy pony tail
Why doesn't Abz want us to see his hair?
1.46pm: Ron's been in the bath for half an hour. He's going to be the cleanest man in the House
Tonight on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Psych: Saturday 24th August
Itâs Saturday, and that can only mean one thing... Bit On The Side becomes Bit On The Psych!
Weâve only had three days to get to know our celeb inhabitants, but itâs already time to delve into their craniums and give them our all-searching psychological analysis.
So whoâs joining AJ and Iain tonight to put the housemates under the microscope?
Weâve got body language expert Judi James coming in to take a good look, along with resident psych Dr Funke and agony aunt Dr Pam Spurr.
Gosh, thatâs a lot of clever people in the same room.
Stick with Channel 5 after the main show to join in the grilling at 11pm
I'm liking this lot already I'm thinking Ron may be a bit deaf, I know someone said he had an ear infection but he doesn't seem to catch the whole conversation or doesn't realise they are talking to him
Day 3: Guess what? It's task o'clock!
Itâs finally time for the full House to take part in their first mini task together (ssh, donât tell them what Louie, Lauren and Sophie have been up to). And itâs something you have played a very important part in.
Today the housemates are going to get to know each other a bit better in a gruelling game called âGuess What?â
Each celeb has three interesting stories to their name, and for the past day the public have been deciding which one is the most interesting. Big Brother will challenge the housemates to guess which of their famous friendsâ facts the viewers found most fascinating. The more they guess correctly, the better their prize will be.
It is really as simple as that. Stick with us for the results!
5.50pm: The Cult of Celebrity have been called to the small task room to make another important decision
5.59pm: The Cult members are short-listing three housemates to face the first public vote
6.16pm: The Cult have made their decision, but it won't be revealed to the other housemates until later this evening.
Day 3: Guess What? It's results time!
Earlier today, the housemates got to know each other a little better through a task that we called 'Guess What'. The premise was simple â the housemates were provided with a series of stories that have been written about them in the press and they had to explain the background to it. They also had to choose which of their stories was voted the 'most interesting' by viewers on the Big Brother website (that's us â wahey!).
Sounds easy, right?
That it may have been, but this is Big Brother we are talking about, so let's just say that some of the stories were a little on the scandalous side. We learnt that Abz once burnt down a hotel room in Dublin, Charlotte's favourite party trick is balancing noodles from each nipple and Sophie was once arrested for causing a disturbance at a train station. Oh and not to mention that Dustin's sex tape is called 'Screehed â save by the smell'. Yes, you did just read that right.
For being so forthright with their checkered pasts and successfully picking nine out of the 13 stories as the most popular, the housemates have won a takeaway dinner this evening.
What's a few little secrets in return for some grub, eh?!
just watched some footage of keith allens doc about lauren-i thought it was a spoof...its not-she really is bonkers
Day 3: There's no place like home
"It's beginning to feel like home," announced Sophie and her fellow housemates agreed, particularly Lauren who went one better adding, "I am home!"
With our baker's dozen making a full House, they sure do seem to be settling in well, and in true Celebrity Big Brother fashion, have formed some unlikely friendships.
Charlotte made a beeline for Big Ron. She told Big Brother he, "reminds us of Father Christmas," and was so devastated after his nomination that she smashed a cake to pieces. She's also getting on with Carol a treat and they have already made plans to meet up after the show (let's see if they're still on each other's Christmas card list by week 2).
Carol is proving popular with her housemates and lothario Mario admitted to big Brother that he found her attractive. She enjoyed a good bitching session with Louie last night but something tells us these two could say too much if they aren't careful.
Lauren and Courtney have bonded over hair and make-up and their almost matching night wear. Lauren has been giving the young wife tips and hints and Courtney has been impressed with the Welsh one's encyclopedic knowledge of pretty much everything.
Vicky and Les might be suffering from coming into the House together and haven't really made any particular alliences, although Danielle by default may be starting to pair up with Vic or even Sophie.
Dustin and Abz enjoyed a hot tub together earlier and showed bromance potential.
It's early days and we know how things can change. An alpha male and female are bound to emerge soon and we all know how that can shake up a happy House.
Ask AJ: The BBBOTS host answers our questions
BBBOTS host AJ came for a natter with the Digital Team earlier on to tell us her thoughts on our star-studded House. She discussed Abz's monk-like features, Courtney's bosom and her fascination with Lauren, amongst other things. And she even gave us a little sing-song! Have a peek below...
What do you make of the new housemates?
I love them, absolutely love them.
I love Abz. I was a fan of 5ive back in the day, so Iâve got posters of him and stuff. And with his new shaved head heâs looking like a monk, which is just a funny vision for me every single day.
I hope Courtney stays in past this week, because I think sheâs going to be a really entertaining housemate. Sheâs charismatic, sheâs got those two big footballs on her chest, sheâs got a weave... sheâs brilliant!
And Lauren, thereâs something about her that is so mesmerising and so interesting to watch.
So is Lauren the one youâre looking forward to watching most then?
Yes, definitely Lauren. Thereâs something about her. I canât take my eyes off her. Laurenâs the sort of person who, if she was stood next to Courtney, then Iâll look at Lauren. And thatâs saying something because Courtney is like a blonde bombshell with two massive...
We'll stop you there. Do you think they chose the right trio to join the Cult of Celebrity?
Personally, Iâd have liked to have seen Danielle in the Cult of Celebrity. Just because I am not that familiar with her and I thought that would have been a great way to introduce her to our audience. Thereâs massive characters in the House and weâve not seen that much of her yet, so it would have great to have her separated from the rest of them at the beginning so I could find out all about her.
Otherwise, I really liked Louie and Lauren. So I would have swapped Sophie and Danielle.
Theyâve already nominated Ron for eviction, but who do you think theyâll add to their hit-list?
To be honest itâs interesting, because after the first night it was all just shallow reasons like âOh, Ronâs into football... Oh, Courtney is too high pitchedâ. So it would be interesting to see who they would pick now that theyâre integrated.
I donât know who theyâre going to pick. Because even since theyâve been back in the House theyâve still been the same threesome.
Finally, seeing as youâre such big fan, whatâs your favourite 5ive song?
[sings] âIf youâre getting down baby, I want it now babyâ
That was so good. And âEverybody Get Upâ. [sings again] âEverybody get up, singing, 1 2 3 4â
That was a beautiful rendition. What a way to end the interview. Thanks AJ!
What a lovely Sunday treat!
