is she still with her husband do you know?

Gillian now lives in Hertfordshire with her two children.

In 2009, she split from her businessman husband after 23 years of marriage. On her notoriously rocky relationship, Gillian said splitting was "a tough decision, but the right one." She remains positive about her love life – her daughter's friends even call her a cougar – and she says: "I'm a huge romantic. I definitely haven't given up on men. I'd love to fall in love again.

With a luxury budget our housemates were looking forward to picking out this week's shopping list.
Despite £550 not being every housemates' idea of luxury, the majority of the celebs got stuck in with Tricia bravely taking up the chalk. Ryan gallantly joined her. You knew he would though, didn't you.
Sam was first to suggest an item – a chocolate bar. He was clearly going to be a lot of help.
Speidi quickly retired to the bedroom with more pressing matters, namely a back rub for Spence. We don't want to hear any complaints from them if housemates missed off any of their fave snacks.
Paula wasn't far behind and Lacey soon chose a chat with the '80s model over the task in hand.
Meat featured heavily in the early shopping debate with Frankie proposing eight packets of mince. Razor piped up with, "I love mince," prompting Frankie to add an additional two packs.
By the time talk turned to herbs and spices, just Claire, Tricia and Ryan remained.
Housemates were reluctant to take responsibility for the maths but good old Claire gave it her best shot and just inside the 45 minute time limit, it was Rylan who picked up the chalk board and headed to the Diary Room.
Shopping has a legendary reputation for causing a good old row in the House. Will BB's delivery be the catalyst for the first proper barney of the series? We'll have to wait and see

6.20pm: It's maths time. Paula is not helping with the adding up, distracting housemates with talk of her broken ring.

6.29pm: It's come done to the herbs and spices. Claire, Ryan and Tricia are the only ones who still care. #CBB

Dr. Detroit‏@BBCouchPotatoes Tonight on Couch Potato Radio, we welcome @TVpsychologist Jo Hemmings back to the show to discuss #CBB HM's!

6.48pm: It's down to the important stuff. Chocolates, biscuits and ice cream. Rylan and Lacey have taken a renewed interest. #CBB

Day 6 - So take a look at them now

As you may have noticed, BB has been putting the housemates through their paces these past couple of days. Lots of mouth to mouth and lots of messing around with balls, basically. Well, we had to get one up on the Olympics somehow.
The Against the Odds task, which began yesterday, was all about the game of chance, with the housemates playing an assortment of games to try and tip the odds in their favour.
The fun kicked off with Pass the Pass, a game essentially about passing various delicious cuisines mouth to mouth between housemates, such as raw fish, fermented duck eggs and sick bags! Yes Ambassador, we really did spoil them.
Over the day, three more tasks awaited our celebrity chancers. These involved Rylan necking chilli chocolates in the Hot Chocolate task, the housemates transferring balls from container to container using the power of smooching in Kissing Balls, and finally, Punishing Passes, where Claire was plonked in a room alone and made to listen to her hit record 5, 6, 7, 8 on loop.
The epic mission finally came to a close today. This afternoon, in Truth or Falls, Paula and Heidi were quizzed on their fellow housemates, with wrong answers resulting in the others being gunged in the garden. The day’s events were eventually collated in BB’s Big Vendor, a giant adjudicator machine.  If it spat out a green ball it meant victory, and if red, a grumpy House for the next week. Thankfully, with 194 passes, and 74 fails, the odds were in the housemates’ favour, with a 72% chance of Big Vendor delivering success, which in the end, it did, securing the celebs a luxury shopping budget, and a 100% chance of much whooping. Now those are good odds.

Thanks erin!  And thanks to you and MrsH for your updates... sterling work as ever, both of you.  

Hoping you can get back soon too Scotty... thinking of you and your boy. 

Cheers Xochi

6.56pm: Phew. After a few centuries, the housemates have now handed in their shopping list. Now it's time to actually cook something. #CBB

7.14pm: Girl Chat ongoing in the bedroom. Lacey and Heidi are having a chinwag about their childhood dreams, whilst Spencer snoozes.#CBB

7.25pm: Dinner time! Lacey is resplendent with joy over a bowl of aubergines. Well, aren't we all. #CBB

7.37pm: Paula & Razor are treating dinner in a Nigella-seductive way. "Are you digging there?" "It feels so right, but it's so wrong." #CBB

7.46pm: Once again, everyone awkwardly thanks Claire for cooking. Paula and Lacey offer to do the washing up. Woo! Equilibrium! #CBB

7.55pm: Rylan and Razor keep referring to Gillian as "Kathy Beale". Wonder how Gillian feels about that. #CBB

8.02pm: Paula's brushing her pet coat, having a grump at BB. "Big Brother is such a wind-up merchant." Why thank you, Paula. We do try. #CBB

Thanks Erin

8.19pm: Mass controversy at the moment, Lacey's just given Rylan a black coffee instead of milky. This isn't going to end well.
