take care x

8.40pm: It's Rylan and Ryan getting cosy over the balls.
8.43pm: Tricia and Gillian are playing the Kissing Balls task. Housemates are very excited by this pairing.
8.54pm: Big Brother has warned housemates that if they refuse to take part in the task they MAY fail. Surely no one would do that.
Day 5: The Kissing Balls task
11 mins ago
Housemates will be kissing up to each other as they attempt to complete part three of Big Brotherâs shopping task, Kissing Balls.
A succession of ping pong balls will be floated above a red table, suspended by a jet of air.
The object of the game is for pairs of housemates to capture a ball between their lips and working together transport it to a green cylinder on the table.
Every ball that makes it into the container will earn housemates a pass. Each ball dropped will equate to a fail.
Housemates will be selected by spinning a wheel with their faces on it.
Frankie was concerned he and Rylan might have to team up. Fair enough â the statuesque singer and diminutive jockey might struggle. Gillian suggested he used a chair.
The sound of kissing lips will signal the start of the task and each pair of housemates will have two minutes to sink as many balls as they can.
Keep your eye on the website for all the action from the task.
8.58pm: Housemates are counting their balls. How well do you think they have done?
9.02pm: A bit premature guys, the task's not over yet. Claire and Frankie are kissing up
9.12pm: Big Brother is revealing the task results. Housemates are making a right old fuss. Paula says the results are disgusting. Harsh
9.21pm: Peace again. Phew. We thought Ryan was going to pull a Toadie on Big Brother and argue his case.
9.29pm: Paula and Gillian are leading a songs from the shows singing sesh in the garden
9.34pm: Rylan thought he could see a camera man but on second thoughts thinks it may be his reflection. He is still investigating
9.54pm: Paula, Rylan and Ryan have moved on to acting out famous movie scenes. Starting with Dirty Dancing
10.13pm: Housemates have launched into a rousing rendition of Auld Langs Syne. We know you're having a blast guys but it's not NYE. #CBB
10.30pm: Lacey and Sam are discussing their favourite pizzas. Lacey is trying to remeber the name of 'that spicy sausage.' #CBB
10.40pm: Claire from Steps is in the Diary Room. big Brother has a task for her...#CBB
now BB are calling her that
10.47pm: #5678 Claire is locked in the small task room. She is being played Steps songs on a loop. #tragedy #CBB
Punishing Passes
Claire is set a challenge where she must spend as much time as possible in the small task room. What she does not realise until she enters the room is that Steps' top selling hit '5,6,7,8' will incessantly play on loop. The longer she stays in there, the more passes she will amass for the group. Her fellow housemates will be given an opportunity to release her sporadically throughout the night â and she will win the number of passes she has won so far. She also has the option to release herself at any time â but if she chooses to do so, all those passes will turn to fails.
11.00pm: Far from struggling with listening to one of her biggest hits on repeat, Claire is singing along. Can she keep it up? #5678 #cbb
11.21pm: While the housemates agonise over keeping Claire shut up in the task room, Speid have gone to bed

Day 5: Kiss this - the task results
Housemates had a ball completing Big Brotherâs latest task.
The Kissing Balls task forced our celebs to get up close and personal as they tried to avoid locking lips while transporting as many balls as they could through the air and into a container.
Some pairings proved particularly popular with Gillian and Tricia scoring plenty of whoops from Razor.
Housemates who took part threw themselves into the task with great gusto and were soon smooching ping pong balls like their lives depended on it.
After almost all housemates gave their lips a thorough workout, BB revealed the results.
Housemates picked up 80 passes and 40 fails. Mwah.
