Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
It may be a little early on a Bank Holiday morning, but Time Is Money, housemates...
It's time for our celebrity friends' first shopping task and, for this one, every second counts. Depending on how they perform in a variety of physical, mental, secret and silly tasks, the gang will get the chance to bank time on a giant hour glass in the garden.
The more time they bank, the more time Housemates have for the final task.
Preparation for today's shopping task involves Louie dressing as a massive cuckoo. Naturally.
For the next few days celebrity housemates will be faced with the challenge of time, there will be ticks, tocks and cuckoo clocks. Watch housemates read out the instructions for this week's shopping task right here:

Carol and Sophie get 'cuckoo' as they perform their first cuckoo clock ceremony as time keepers. They did exceptionally well, but you can see for yourselves via the following video link:

Ello, ello, ello, what's going on here, then?
Well, tasks do bring the housemates together in mysterious ways...
Celebrity housemates will be blinded by the next challenge as Big Brother asks them to order themselves in height order. But there's a catch, housemates will be blindfolded leaving them unable to see a thing. Wohoah!
Will they see eye to eye with success? Watch to find out:

Housemates play a game of Hot or Not for their next shopping task challenge.
We asked you which celebrity you found the hottest. And the result? Well, we thought we'd incorporate it into this weeks shopping task of course. Will the housemates decision correlate with that of the public or will they be left in brutal shock at the result? Click the link below to watch it all:

Day 5: Time for dinner with a difference
Big Brother gave housemates an experience they'll be dining out on for the foreseeable future.
As part of this week's Shopping Task, it was feeding time in the Big Brother garden as housemates got stuck into a snack relay.
With some celebrities being more game than others, there was plenty of grimacing and gagging as the majority endeavoured to chow down on treats including a fermented egg, chicken's feet and dog food canapÃĐs.
Housemates completed the challenge within the allotted time but were penalised for those who failed to gobble up Big Brother's dishes.
Vicky failed to even attempt to eat her fermented egg but housemates have agreed they wouldn't have had a go on it either with Louie saying it was, "all black and green". Danielle's refusal to even sip her mustard shots has caused more debate with both Ron and Vicky adamant they'd have tried them.
Louie, who chomped on the chicken's feet didn't think Mario had much of a challenge with his pig's tongue but the reality TV Romeo claimed it was, "really gungey."
There's still plenty of time for this task to cause some serious tension! Stay tuned.
Watch our exclusive celebrity videos here!
Before our thirteen new celebrity friends entered the House, we were given ten minutes alone with each of them, armed only with a camera, a green-screen and a super realistic mannequin of Rylan Clark. We used this time to bring you as many exclusives as possible, and now we've created this handy index so that you don't miss a thing.
The Celebrity Interview Relay
Each housemate had to ask a question for one of their fellow celebrities (obviously without knowing who would answer). The result? An unbroken chain of celebrity interrogation.

Rylan's Celebrity Roleplay
As reigning CBB champion, Rylan set each housemate a hypothetical scenario, to see how they'd react to a typical Big Brother situation in the House. Some of the responses were... surprising, to say the least.

Part two coming soon...
Housemates Answer Your Questions
We gave each housemate one minute exactly to answer as many questions as possible, as set by you guys before the series launched. For now, you can see how each of our first three nominees coped with the challenge, with the remaining housemates to follow over the course of the series.

Reaction GIFs
For all those occasions where the only logical response is Screech from Saved By The Bell shaking his fist, or Big Ron Atkinson doing a sexy face, we've compiled this monster collection of celebrity reaction gifs. You can view them all on our brand new Tumblr page:

Day 5 round-up: A timely shopping task, with an added dose of tension
Day 5 started out as just a normal day, but within minutes Louie was dressed in a fluffy, yellow suit pretending to be a cuckoo. Why, you ask? Because this was the start of the celebritiesâ first shopping task, Time Is Money.
Every second counts in this weekâs task, as the housemates try to accumulate as many minutes as possible in order to win that elusive luxury shopping budget. For the first of two recurring tasks, two housemates must act as timekeepers in their brand new treehouse-cum-cuckoo-clock, while Louie the cuckoo bursts out on cue. For the second, the House must take on the role of Big Brotherâs Speaking Clock and tell the man above the time on request.
So far theyâve done a decent job of those tasks. But when Big Brother asked them to rank themselves in height order â while blindfolded â things started to crumble. They had even more trouble arranging themselves in order of hotness, choosing Courtney first while the public chose Charlotte. Letâs just say our American teen wasnât too happy about that one.
Soon the gang were treated to a feast by Big Brotherâs finest chefs. But lying under the cloches wasnât quite what they were expecting. With that all-important time to play for, the housemates had to devour delicious treats, such as jellied eels, fermented eggs, dog food canapÃĐs and, erm, cream crackers. Vicky, Courtney and Danielle all let the team down and they were deducted a whole minute as punishment.
Later on in the evening, Dustinâs niceness became his own worst enemy, as he couldnât bring himself to meet Big Brotherâs request that he bad mouth one of his fellow housemates. Another task failed and more minutes down the drain.
Tasks aside, Day 5 was also The Day After The Night Before, and tensions were running high now the Cult of Celebrityâs big secret was out. Louie was bitching about Danielle,Danielle was bitching about Louie... you can see where weâre going with this. Itâs no longer the House of Happiness, thatâs for sure.
The day did end on an amorous note, however, with some frisky flirting between Mario and Sophie.
Bitching, flirting and failing tasks... itâs Big Brother at its very finest. And itâs exactly what weâve all been waiting for.
Tonight on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side - Tuesday 27th August
Tonight on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side, we'll be joined by queen of the small screen, actress and TV presenter Nadia Sawahla, former A1 singer, Ben Adams and a Brookside favourite, Dean Sullivan a.k.a Jimmy Corkhill.
What a cracking line-up if we do say so ourselves!
And joining Emma on the sofa, we have body expert and friend of the show, the captivating Judi James.
You know the drill by now - tonight, Channel5, 11pm. We'll see you there!
Day 5: Three housemates face eviction

Danielle, Ron and Vicky are the three potentially facing the chop.
Now, it's up to you to.
This time round it's VOTE TO SAVE so to make sure your favourite housemate stays put, you need to cast you vote.
Head to www.channel5.com/bigbrother/voting
Day 6: Cheer up, housemates!
Whether it's the drizzly weather or last night's boozy antics, something has left the housemates feeling a tad subdued today. Usually chipper, Charlotte, has been very vocal about her frustrations, trudging around the House shouting, "I'm agitated" to anyone who will listen. A misplaced toothbrush almost caused a full on strop until Carol pointed out that she left it in living room toilet two days ago.
And speaking of her partner in crime, Carol has been uttering similar grumbles this afternoon, everything from how dirty the House is to how bored she is.
"I thought you said this is a walk in the park?" Ron put to her.
"It was until this morning", Carol replied.
Though we have a feeling it's more to do with having a fuzzy head from last night's vinos than any real discontentment about being the House.
Picking up on the general mood, Sophie has decided to interject some fun in the House by offering to do Vicky's makeup - but we are surprised that she's agreed to it after Lauren's attempt at giving her a glamorous 'do this morning. She's more of a sport than us!
Luckily the next part of the task is on it's way, which should hopefully cheer the grumps up...
Day 6: The 'Time is Money' task continues
Yesterday saw the start of the first shopping task, 'Time is Money', where housemates have been competing in a number of time-based games to generate minutes for the final game later today.
But before that happens, Big Brother has given them one more chance to add time to the clock, by inviting them to enjoy some bath time in the garden. But there's a catch - the baths will be filled with nasty surprises, such as maggots, offal and tripe and sour milk. You didn't think Big Brother would fill them with water now, would you? The longer they stay in the bath, the more time will be added to the banked total.
To win a luxury shopping budget, the housemates will then compete in the 'Test of Time', where they will be faced with a series of locked boxes and a safe. In order to unlock these they must guess the combination using 'he said, she said' quotes from the housemates. If the housemates correctly guess the clues within the allocated time, the safe will open to reveal the shopping list.
So this task will not only be a test of time, but also how well they know their fellow housemates. To find out how they get on, keeping checking the website for updates!
