Oi, you lot, stop laughing! This is serious!
The Sitch tries to style out his armful of leopard garments.
How much leopard print stuff does she own!?
Nice of Lorenzo to help Julie, eh?
Successful shopping trip, boys?
Nice pants, guys.
5.35pm: Julian's gone for a dip. Coleen's applying a mud-pack to Ashley's chest. Julie's in the Diary Room. It's all go.
5.50pm: Coleen Nolan applying mud to Ashley the Olympian. Slick. Enjoy
6.02pm: Julie's requested a little chat with Lorenzo later. 
Ominous. He's agreed to it.
6.12pm: The Julie / Lorenzo chat results in apologies and peace throughout the land. It was about their bad reactions when Danica left
6.21pm: Looks like it's task time! BB has ordered our celebs onto the sofas.
Day 18: The Acid Test task
3 mins ago
Enough of this eviction dwelling â onwards and upwards, housemates! Yep, it's task time...
Earlier on, Big Brother asked the housemates to gather together and decide on one person to come to the Diary Room. That person was Ashley, who was then told that they had the power to choose which of their fellow roomies will receive a letters from home, and which will have their own careflly penned messages destroyed.
This how it works...
On one side of the chair is a mail sack containing all of the housematesâ letters from home. On the other side is a small barrel of âacidâ (FYI, in case the inverted commas weren't enough, it isn't actually acid â so don't try this at home).
Ashley was told that only half of the letters in the sack could go back into the House. The rest have to be destroyed by putting them into the acid. If xxx refuses to make any decisions, Big Brother will destroy ALL letters from home.
There's one little thing though... he's is unaware that the rest of the housemates are watching from the sofas. Da da DUM!
Stay tuned and we'll let you know how it goes.
6.35pm: Ashley's in the Diary Room picking which HMs' letters from home to DESTROY! Mwah ha ha!

6.39pm: Ashley's destroyed half the housemates letters. Julian, Julie and Lorenzo lost letters. Ash also dropped his own into the acid

Princey needs to run quick
7.16pm: Martin and Julian are making spag bol.
[ he gets about ]
They are discussing the appropriate cutlery to use.
7.21pm: Martin interrogates others over the location of the garlic-crusher. We haven't seen him this intense since Walford.
Day 18: The Prince is summoned by the Queen Bee
6 mins ago
When the Queen Bee of the Big Brother House requests your company for a private chat, your first reaction might be to physically shake.
Beads of sweat may pour from your hairline and your stomach will probably churn. When Julie Goodyear wants a chinwag, she means business. It was Prince Lorenzo who was called to discourse with the resident House elder this afternoon after Danica's eviction last night caused a few loose words to erupt from both their mouths. Julie, in a bit of a daze, said some less than complimentary things about the departed model and the Prince defended her, with reports claiming he mentioned that behind Julie's sweetness was bitterness.
Called to the smoking area for a tÊte-à -tÊte, The Prince looked alarmed. You would though, wouldn't you? Even if you've never seen Coronation Street and witnessed Bet Lynch in all her pomp, within the House Julie enjoys the almost untouchable status of Empress of the Bungalow. All who mess with her can expect a stern talking to.
The Prince took his time wandering out to the garden. Like a condemned man, he appeared at the patio doors and looked at the matron with a schoolboy's eyes. Julian, taking his cue, made himself scarce. Probably just in case all hell broke loose.
7.30pm: Ashley's being counselled by Coleen as he struggles with the difficult decisions he made in the task.
7.40pm: Coleen's explaining to Julian the tobacco crisis. The boys have tobacco but they have no papers. Ack!
7.46pm: Ashley's talking with The Sitch, Coleen and Harvey about how Jasmine was misunderstood.
7.53pm: Martin fiddles with a hob and moans bitterly about electric ovens. There's a pan needs scouring, Kemp. Take it out on that.
7.54pm: Julian ponders his forthcoming letter from home. "If it's from my mother it'll probably just be her telling me how the cat is".
Day 18: The Acid Test dissolve
23 mins ago
Our judo champ went into combat with Big Brother and came face to face with a real toughie of a task.
The Acid Test forced Ashley to pick which housemates would receive a letter from home and which would watch theirs being destroyed.
For his first dilemma, Ash had to pick between Julie and Harvey with the former losing out thanks to, "what she did yesterday."
In further defence of ihis decision he added, "There are going to be things in his (Harvey's) that he wants to hear."
The youngster struggled less with the next pairing, selflessly sacrificing his own, giving Julian the pleasure of a piece of correspondence from the outside world.
He was never going to select Coleen over Martin when greeted with the choice. Coleen was yelling from the living room, "Put mine in the acid." He couldn't hear her and after momentarily sitting with his head in his hands, he got shot of Martin's instead.
Lorenzo and The Situation caused Ashley the most trouble and in the end he resorted to shuffling the two and picking blind. Big Brother was not happy with this method and Ash had a rethink. He said: "The Situation is the person I am closest with. The Prince said I am one of his best housemates the other day and that got me. But..."
The Prince got the chop meaning The Sitch will be hearing from home.
It was a very emotional Ashley that emerged from the Diary Room to be greeted by cheers from his fellow housemates.
They all gathered round him to praise his performance with Martin and Coleen claiming they has been crying tears for him during the task â Coleen later added that she had, "never cried so much in her life." Has BB been pumping onions into the living area or was she just trying to help?
All housemates have reassured Ash that there are no hard feelings. Big Brother has yet to hand over the letters. Will those who lost out still be so upbeat once the postman has been?
8.08pm: Julie and Martin lament not having a letter from home. Martin says he spoke to Shirley about it happening, so all is fine.
BIAB 
bath and PJ time before BB
^^^ Not sure I believe Julie's being sincere in the vid about not holding a grudge.

Those poor kids.
Whoooooooops done it again - wrong thread - see ya 
8.18pm: "Dinner's ready!" hollers Julian. The HMs wander towards the dining table (apart from The Situation who's been summoned by BB).
8.35pm: Has Martin put a little too much chilli in the spag bol? He's currently running ice over his lips in the garden. Peculiar
8.44pm: Julie joins Harvey, Ashley and Julian in the garden, making her entrance with a burst of song
