3:28pm: Courtney has just WOWED us with her mad tongue twister skillz.
4:06pm: Oop, the HMs have been summoned to the living area, where a strange machine looms. Task time?
4:21pm: Today's task is a bit...random. Details to follow.

Day 8: Task- Random Task Generator
1 min ago
It's a lovely day, and we can tell that the housemates really just want to sit around the garden topping up their tans and having a lovely chinwag. Unfortunately for them, though, it's task time!
The housemates have just discovered a primitive, very low-tech machine in the living area, better known as Big Brother's Random Task Generator. They must pull a lever to wake up the rickety machine, which will then spit out instructions and actions for individual housemates to do.
If housemates successfully carry out every single random task, they will win a very special treat for the birthday girl du jour, Courtney. So, fingers crossed!
4:32pm: The Random Task Generator has a special task for...DUSTIN!
4:34pm: Now it's Abz's turn. He must recite a sonnet whilst eating Scotch bonnet chillis & wearing an old fashioned lady's bonnet.
4:38pm: Say hello to Bruce's little friend...
4:48pm: Up next, it's Courtney! She must give a rendition of the American national anthem. It's...lovely.
4:51pm: It's Louie's turn now. He must give Dustin a massage.
5.03pm: Mario's out of the DR in a green mankini. He has to dance with the HM he fancies most - he picks Courtney. Odd scenes.
5.15pm: Do you think green is Mario's colour? And isn't that some quality beach-wear? #bbuklive #MarioMankini
5.30pm: Lauren's given Courtney some earrings as a gift. "Everybody needs a present on their birthday" she says. Aww.

Sophie won't be happy, look at Lauren in the background Bruce
Day 8: "What annoys you most about every single housemate?"
11 mins ago
We're already well aware that Louie Spence is a man who says what he thinks without necessarily filtering it. Carol's cut from the same cloth, so when the pair get together to talk about their experience of Big Brother so far, they tend not to take many prisoners.
In the middle of sounding off about the washing up (not washed up properly) and the windows (covered in dirt), Louie looked into the garden and declared that he could pick off each of his housemates with some strong criticism. Carol encouraged him to do just that.
Bruce constantly asks "alright?" and that's a major complaint for this pair. They're bothered by Sophie calling every one "sweetie" in an "Ab Fab way", which might be quite understandable. Mario and Abz, they decided, aren't remotely annoying. Lauren's okay apart from the untidiness, which she's dealt with now.
When they got onto our American friend, Dustin, the gloves came off a little more. They decried his "American spirit", putting down the team player for his positive attitude. They also thought he made too much of nominating. "Just get on with it" Carol said.
Soon they roped in Charlotte who'd just emerged from the Diary Room and asked her to go through her own personal list. She didn't kick off well:
"I don't have a problem with Sophie..." she pondered.
"Well you should!", cried Louis in response.
If you're going to play the gossip game, Charlotte, you've got to play by the rules...
8.46pm: Dustin's ready for the slumber party. Give yourself over to absolute pleasure, Dusty!
10.23pm: Courtney's birthday party is proving to be a proper hoot! Doesn't Dustin look the part?
Thanks for all the updates Mrs H and Scotty 
God - i hate Carol
Day 8 round-up: Mankinis, slumber parties, friendships and rows
On Day 8, HMs awoke having nominated the previous evening and their wake up call was rather alarming. Big Brother announced that Bruce, Courtney, Vicky, Dustin and Ron had all discussed nominations the night before. No hot water, no hair straighteners and back to basic rations for the lot of them. Bon matin!
So the gang got their comeuppance but was Louie bothered? Was he heck.
There were mixed emotions in the House through the morning. Charlotte had a weepy moment about being nominated while Vicky and Carol discussed how chilled they'll be when they eventually leave the House. Even without those cold showers they're enduring. Meanwhile, after their confrontation last night, Lauren and Ron cleared the air, which was something.
On a positive note, birthday girl Courtney's friendship with Lauren went from strength to strength, as did the budding bromance between Dustin and Abz. Hooray for pals and being chums!
A task came along later which saw HMs faced with a Random Task Generator, which might have seemed fun at first. Until Courtney was made to sing the US national anthem, Abz was made to eat a spicy treat in a silly hat and Mario danced for our amusement in a rather revealing mankini. Oh, the humiliation!
The day was rounded off with birthday girl Courtney celebrating with a slumber party which saw Dustin dressed in a fetching red corset... and then Lauren and Sophie fell out, just to put things on a sour note once more. Let's not forget there's an eviction tomorrow to add to all the madness. Keep the tempo going, housemates. We're loving every fractious second of it.
Lauren Harries explodes at Sophie Anderton
A row break out in the Celebrity
Big Brother 2013 house this morning between Sophie Anderton and Lauren Harries.
As you might imagine, booze played a major part of the bizarrely timed rant, with Carol McGiffin doing her best to stir things up.
It started as Lauren complained to Carol: âI donât need Sophie in my ear hole, sheâs a blood interfering women, she thinks she knows everything.
âShe does think she knows everything,â Carol agreed, before suggesting that Lauren confront Sophie.
And she did, declaring: âListen Sophie, Iâm fed up with you, all you do is boss me around all the time.â
Sophie hit back: âI havenât even spoke to you today.â
âI avoid you, all you do is boss people around and think youâre the most intelligent person in the world, I need to say it,â Lauren continued.
âWhy donât you say it in the Diary Room to someone whoâs going to listen,â retorted Sophie.
âYou act superior to everyone in this house, youâre patronising, condescending and youâre very, every hard and nasty,â Lauren went on undeterred.
âWell thatâs your opinion, but Iâve never been nasty to you,â Sophie insisted, adding after Lauren had left: âWell, I just got told.â
Meanwhile, Lauren told Courtney in the bedroom: âI feel brilliant, sheâs an interfering cow and I told her.â
Celebrity Big Brother 2013 airs nightly on Channel 5.

Danielle Marr brands ex-housemates 'racist'
Evicted Celebrity Big Brother housemate Danielle Marr has claimed her former housemates are racists and bullies.
Irish reality star Danielle became the first celeb to get the axe from this yearâs show in Wednesdayâs live eviction.
She declared today: âI may be the first out but at least Iâve left with my dignity.
âI didnât want to be stuck in a house with people making racist comments, boffing the heads off each other, getting off their faces every night and urinating in their beds.â
Danielle hit out at Ron for his âjokeâ about having a bomb underneath her towel, which earned him a warning from producers.
âAt first I thought he was making a sick joke because I am from Ireland and he was on about the Troubles but then I realised it was to do with religion,â she told the Daily Star newspaper. âI think he came on the show for the money and to redeem himself.
âHe has messed up the latter and if he carries on he will lose the money too.â
And Danielle concluded on Louie Spence: âI kept calling him Spencer just to annoy him. He is the biggest showbiz sham ever.
âEveryone else is frightened of him. They do what he says. He boasted he doesnât need to work as his âdaddyâ bankrolls him and he âfeels badâ for people who have to work. Vile! He is a pirouetting piranha.â
