The good vibes increased in the House after the liberation of those poor unfortunates in the CBB basement. Given a half-hour heads up, housemates scurried to the bedroom to get themselves dressed up for an oncoming party, promised by Big Brother. Nibbles and drinks were the order of the day.
On top of all that, housemates were further spoilt with a blast of music. Gangnam Style was piped in, loud - causing outbreaks of jigging and not a little body-popping. Day 3 will go down as a happy day in this series' run. We can’t promise the jubilation will last, so let’s hope they enjoy it while it lasts, eh?
10:29pm: Topic of conversation is still the basement. It seems that what goes in the basement doesn't stay in the basement #CBB
10.39pm: There's some sexy chair dancing going on. A bit like in that Britney video, but with Paula and no PVC catsuit
10.53pm: Rylan and Claire are pretending they're in #EastEnders. Cast against type, Rylan's playing Phil Mitchell.
11.00pm: Razor's got his feet up and a can of brew in hand. He looks completely and utterly at home. #CBB
Day 3: Spencer impersonates Razor's snores
10 mins ago
The housemates are worried about losing sleep now that chief snorer Razor is in the main House. Luckily, basement veteran Spencer is on hand to demonstrate what they're letting themselves in for...
11.18pm: Hmmm. What to wear to the party? LBD or a glamour-girl swimsuit and leopardskin blanket?
11.31pm: Razor and Paula talk Jungle Book, singing the tunes. Razor's a convincing Baloo. We'll add that to Bruce the shark on the list #CBB
11.37pm: Most of the gang are in the pool singing Sound Of Music tunes. Ryan's chatting with Speidi which they clearly appreciate. #CBB
11.43pm: Paula's been singing pretty much constantly for the past hour, joined by Rylan, Claire, Gillian and Tricia sporadically. #CBB
1.51pm: Speidi are arguing with Frankie and Razor about the quality of sushi in London. The darned cheek of it.

12.03am: Instead of just calling her 'Claire', Rylan's taken to calling Claire 'Claire From Steps'. She'll love that.
12.07am: What was the name of that film again? .... Basic Instinct. That was it.
12.13pm: It's frightening how many great singing voices are in the House. Ryan Moloney's got some lungs on him..
12.17am: Rachel, Lacey, Tricia & Claire have formed a girlband. Currently banging out The Carpenters. Weirdest part? They sound great.
12.36am: Lacey and Sam are talking about dungeons they've visited. We're talking London Dungeon - nothing too risque.
1.07am: Gillian, Claire and Rylan are talking perfume. Did you know Steps had their own, branded scent? £18.79 per bottle. Nice. #CBB
1.24am: 5,6,7,8 - who does Rylan appreciate? #ClaireFromSteps - that's who. #CBB pic.twitter.com/dT2B8Ffq

Paula Hamilton thought she was suffering a heart attack.It later turned out that the former model was having a panic attack
Celebrity Big Brother is back on Channel 5 in the UK. The Brian Dowling-hosted show hit a peak of 4.4 million viewers as famous faces and celebrity C-listers such as Frankie Dettori and Rylan Clark entered the Big Brother house.
An early boost to the ratings was the arrival of former football player Neil Ruddock, who was drafted in as a last-minute replacement for Jim Davidson. The comedian was arrested as part of Operation Yewtree, the investigation into alleged sexual abuse in the 1970s and '80s by Jimmy Savile and others.
The show is famous for its celebrity meltdowns, and this year is - already - no different.
Model Paula Hamilton has reportedly thrown the new series into a crisis after suffering a 'three-hour episode' - causing bosses to call in a doctor and a psychiatrist.
For those unfamiliar with the model, she was known as the 'face of the '80s' and is an ex-girlfriend of Simon Cowell. Hamilton also once starred in a Take That video, How Deep Is Your Love.
Viewers were intrigued as Hamilton began screaming just as her housemates drifted off to sleep in the 'basement' of the house which has no windows, shower, hot water or luxury food items.
She was convinced that she was suffering a heart attack and was groaning with pain. Hamilton was given a health check-up and it is believed she was suffering a panic attack.
After being treated, the 51-year-old was later allowed to move into the upstairs quarters for health reasons.
In scenes TV bosses decided not to show, Hamilton was apparently "screaming and vomiting", causing paramedics to rush into the basement.
A source close to Hamilton told The Daily Star: "They don't want to lose someone so early. It would disrupt the show... We knew there would be plenty of drama, but we didn't know it would happen this quickly."
A Celebrity Big Brother spokesman said: ''After receiving advice from the Big Brother doctor, the decision was taken to move our former supermodel from the dank CBB basement to the glorious world above."
The model seems to have made a full recovery once she returned to the upstairs part of the house.
And the winner is? The latest Celebrity Big Brother betting odds show that former X-Factor finalist Rylan Clark will be the public's favourite housemate.
1.36pm: Lacey's received a massage from Paula and now she's flirting playfully with Sam. She's a busy bunny... #CBB
1.53am: Ok, pals. We're leaving Rylan and Paula bonding in the garden. The rest are fast asleep. See you in the morn! #CBB #Nightynight
Day 3 round-up: A House united
2 hours ago
Day 3 was so absolutely jam-packed with activity, we’re not exactly sure where we should begin. So let’s start at the beginning, when our still slightly culture-shocked housemates raised heads from pillows and remembered exactly where they are. For half of them, that was the interior of the Big Brother House. For the remainder, that basement was their temporary home, the poor mites.
Paula made her way upstairs after falling ill, but new troubles arrived in the form of a faulty kettle she just couldn’t get her head around. Housemates soon realised that nothing was working in the House and got to grips that this wasn’t a technical fault, rather BB’s shenanigans. As a result, the day’s task reared its monstrous head, taking all and sundry somewhat by surprise.
The Generator task was another gruelling effort for the basement-dwellers, but Sam and Frankie took up the challenge with relish. Putting in a strong performance, the pair managed to fulfil their mission and scored a win – the prize being the mercy of Big Brother. The big dude turned on all the kitchen appliances he’d previously turned off. He’s so charitable it sometimes hurts...
That charity was extended to a breakfast for the downstairs gang which was far beyond what they might have been expecting when they first awoke. In fact, passing the task kicked off a good vibe that lasted until the end of the day. This was one of those rare, uplifting 24 hours in the CBB House. Rylan’s agonising over the problems fame brings didn’t cause too much sadness and even a late afternoon wobbler didn’t cause too much jitters. The basement crew were forced by Big Brother to pick one of their number for definite nomination. They picked Frankie, who took it with a brave heart. The upside, however, was that they’d be released from the downstairs confines. When they learned that this extended to every single one of them, the joy was
immeasurable. The House was finally united and, basically, everyone went insane with happiness. Especially Razor, who took the first opportunity for a sexy soak in the tub he could grab. The ex-basement boys could not have been more made up.
There was frantic conversation and then, by the grace of His Bigness, there was partying. Fizzy drinks, nibbles, music – anall night shindig was launched.
In amongst the wild chat, the singing in the pool and the cementing of friendships we also witnessed pranking and, rather wonderfully, a Rylan / Razor fart-off.
What an absolute ripper of a day - and here's to more to come.
Morning all
8.48am: Frankie and Speidi are in the kitchen discussing breakfast for their fellow housemates whilst they all snooze
9.24am: Heidi loves tomato ketchup. She could eat it all the time. You heard it here.
9.29am: Frankie made a hot breakfast for Speidi and Ryan. Spencer is purring over how good it was. Soon he may nuzzle Frankie
9.35am: Nothing helps digestion like an amazing story. Frankie's telling Spencer about his near-death experience in a plane crash.
9.48am: Conversation has moved onto footie and the still sleeping Razor. "I don't think they're guys like him any more." says Spencer.
9.57am: The HMs are debriefing on the force of nature that is Razor's snoring. "You sound like a cow," says an awestruck Tricia.
