11.21am: "I love feta. Do you love feta?" asks Martin. We do! We do love feta, Martin!
11.38am: Harvey's discussing his more showbiz activities while Sam responds with suitable levels of 'you da man'. Harmony in da House.
11.50am: The Jules and Cheryl are discussing being "Bet Lynched". It's not clear what "Bet Lynching" entails but they'r having a hoot.
12.00pm: Cheryl has garbed Harvey in one of her robes. He looks well good.
Day 7: The 5-in-a-bed chat has repercussions
When we left you last night there were 5 housemates piled into one bed, giggling. Harvey, Danica, Ashley, Rhian and The Situation were having a bit of mucky chit-chat and larks in one of the beds as everyone else tried to catch some shut-eye, and this morning everyone has an opinion.
Jasmine was up first this morning, quickly joined by Samantha. The two chatted in hushed tones, with Jasmine observing that though she had found the giggly quintet annoying, she had held her tongue and not yelled at them. Could it be that Jasmine's fiery temper is boiling down to a low simmer? We can only hope.
Martin and Cheryl had a post-breakfast chat, with Martin taking the long way round to calling them a little bit immature, saying "it's not that there is an age gap but..." before likening the chatty younger housemates to his kids. When they're at home they're relaxed and well-behaved, but when they go on holiday, we can only imagine the hell that breaks loose if Daddy Kemp's hotel behaviour is anything to go by...
Coleen hit the nail on the head, we think, by openly admitting her feelings: "I was jealous, you were laughing so loud!" Though this was met with a good-natured "nawwwww!" from the group, we can see that there's some truth in it. After all, the Bedtime 5 (as we just christened them, just now) have emerged as the cool kids of the House. Who wouldn't wanna hang out with them, eh?
Rhian apologised to Martin later today, saying "I feel really bad that we kept you up" so that's fine, eh? All's well that ends well. Though Lorenzo is still grumpy.
12.07pm: Cheryl has emerged as an unlikely fashion icon in the House.
12.13pm: The boys have been using Jasmine's shampoo. Harvey thinks it is quite funny, and she should have kept it in her drawer.
2.22pm: Danica, Rhian and Ashley are chilling out in the smoking area. Ashley says today is going well. A bit of optimism, we love it!
12.31pm: "we have too many loaves and not enough fishes!" Proclaims Cheryl. How biblical.
12.44pm: After trying on Cheryl's robe, Harvey is planning on raiding Julian's wardrobe. We're a bit jealous
12.46pm: TV can be confusing for kids. Julie's grandchildren used to run behind the set to try to get her out.
12.54pm: Sam and Jas are bragging about their glam former lives while bonding over losing it all and desiring to rise again.
Day 7: The shape of the housemates' futures
35 mins ago
Their figures are, in many cases, their fortunes, so itâs understandable that our celebrity housemates are more vigilant against weight gain than our civilians who â to speak candidly â are susceptible to what doctors call 'chubbing up'. To be fair to the civvies, itâs hard to stay in shape when youâre confined to a bungalow with âeatingâ glowing from a list of limited daily activities.
A concession to the fitness needs of our celebs is already in place in the form of the Big Brother gym, an uninviting space that is always busy during opening hours. The Prince and Rhian both missed this time and have been fretting over it. The Prince has hatched a plan to get his fitness fix. Itâs not a sophisticated plan. It involves asking BB to reopen the facilities. Rhian doubts his chances. She may not be able to tell you 20 percent of 100 but she understands the psychology of the House gatekeeper far better than her transatlantic chum.
Having mourned exercise opportunities loved and lost, The Prince and Rhian launched a lengthy damage limitation plan invoking the 'little and often' weight control maxim. Rhian feels sheâs diverged from this holy path while in the House. Ham and cheese sandwiches and crisps have taken dietary dominance.
That sounds tastier than the gym to us, but then we don't make a living from parading our bodies in smalls. If we tried to there would be screams ... and probably a few tears.
After a long, mind-bogglingly boring account from the Prince of his usual routine and preferred breakfasts, the conversation ended on a high. The Prince promised our glamour girl that heâd cook her a high-protein breakfast tomorrow.
Now there's something to look forward to.

no problem - I am home all day
1.07pm: Jasmine and Sam have dashed off holding hands to a quiet spot in the garden. It's safe to say we have a gossiping situation.
1.20pm: We don't know how many times Jasmine has spoken out about LA being a centre of moral decay. She so worldly
1.20pm: Sam and Jasmine's gossip situation is intense! Stay tuned for an in-depth analysis, guys.
1.30pm: BB has gathered the HMs on the couches. What could possibly be afoot?!
1.33pm: Danica has collected the instructions from the hatch, and is reading them out to the assembled HMs.
1.34pm: It's more of the #bigspenders task. This next section is Shot Till You Drop, and sees 6 HMs drink shots. But is all as it seems?
1.37pm: The 6 HMs doing the task are: Sam, Coleen, Ashley, Rhian, Harvey and Danica. They look perturbed..
1.47pm: Our VIPs have entered the VIP lounge, and are perturbed to see sick buckets..
1.48pm: In case you were wondering, the shots aren't boozy...and they're certainly not gonna be nice..
1.57pm: it's starting, guys! The first shot is is Risky Sours. We have no idea what's in it. Any guesses?
2.00pm: The Risky Sours shots were lemon juice, and the HMs have downed them like the professionals they are
2.06pm: The next shot is a Sam-puke-a... any guesses, guys?
2.09pm: The Sam-puke-a was a garlicky delight. Coleen, it turns out, is not a fan of garlic. Ash loves it.
2.10pm: The next shot is a Bloody Scary, a spicy treat with a milk chaser. Yum!!!
2.15pm: The next shot is Retch On The Beach, a 'tart' treat...vinegar?
2.20pm: We didn't catch the name of shot number five, but the HMs say it was very fishy. Jealous?
2.23pm: The final shot is the Toe-Curler Slammer, a pepper-based drink with a WORM in it, eurgH!
2.24pm: The HMs have done all the shots! Yippee hooray!
Day 7: Woman lovin' and hatin'
10 mins ago
At first, it was a charming scene of two women bonding over shared experiences. Sam and Jas have both, according to them, gone from riches to rags. They have also both felt the icy winds of negative public opinion. As they sat by the mirrors, preening and chatting, it seemed like in each other they'd found ports in a storm.
So pleasant a scenario was this and so refreshing it was - compared to the dramatic scenes that have racked the House of late - that we smiled indulgently at blatant one-upmanship. You'll never guess who Jas used to roll with! Sam made the careers of hordes of TV folk!
Didn't they do well, we thought. Aren't they doing well now, encouraging each other to never give up, assuring each other that theyâll both ride again. Think Oprah, with less tears and more name-dropping.
But then a poisonous note snuck into their chat. This note was Mancunian and boosts 32DDs. She also made the grevious error of getting involved with the 5-in-the-bed situation last night. The word is â according to Samâs source (ever the journalist) â that although no bases were reached, Ashley and Rhian were all kinds of cosy.
This nugget of information was all it took for the pair to get their metaphorical sniper guns out.
Jasmine has already told anyone who wants to know that she thinks Rhian has handled Ashley's crush badly. Her outspokenness on this subject is the main cause of a rift between the two models.
Whether to fit in with her new pal or because of genuine feeling Sam sided with the Team GB star. She thinks that he is vulnerable while Rhian is wordly and knows how to play her assets.
"Danica and Rhian are really smart and they're playing these guys."
"Theyâre not really smart, they're tits and ass!" said acid Jas.
Sam laughed, either in appreciation of quick wit, or in shock. All housemates were then called to the sofas for the first of today's Big Spenders task, Shot Till You Drop.
Along with Martin, Harvey, Coleen and Danica, Sam has gone to participate in the task while Jas remains outside of it with Rhian. Will this separation of the women who dig each other cause a relaxation of their new bond or will they reunite later, stronger than ever?
Stay tuned to find out!
