thanks   your an

tis snowing hard here now 

2.18pm: Frankie and Razor are having a bit of a chat in the garden, admiring the beautiful weather.

No snow here today but freezing cold brrrr

Stay cosy MrsH    

2.23pm: Frankie's just shot off to read the air freshener instructions. Don't wait up.

Hi Scotty  

So Frankie's not been secretly evicted after all  

What is it with Spencer and that water bottle he carries around on last nights show he had an industrial sized one

2.34pm: Spencer can't believe BB don't have heat lamps. We also don't have giant gold statues of Speidi's heads. We can only apologise.

Rumour goes, he`s been hiding underneath the sink

Hi velvet  

Well he better stick his tongue out on the line - I've got sixty quid on him  

Don`t know, didn`t see it aimee without the capital 

Oh no! Sixty down for sure 

2.52pm: Rylan, Gillian and Tricia are making broccoli soup. Tricia has suggested they go and have a snowball fight

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

3.02pm: Snowball time!

3.08pm: After quite the epic snowball fight, the housemates depart to the igloo to warm-up. You are watching Big Brother, not Pingu.

Snore....

3.23pm: Half the housemates have decamped to the igloo. Rylan is telling them all another witty story about himself.

Day 12: The Amazing Speidi-plan?

On the surface we have a House united but tension is bubbling beneath.

Today's one hour cleaning window forced the housemates into action and even those who have been shy so far when it comes to domestic tasks got stuck in. All of those except Speidi that is.

The pair have been acting as if they are still in the basement – taking up their regular pew on the living room sofa and staring blankly at their fellow celebs.

They have even been giving us a running commentary; "These people's voices are so annoying," being one of Heidi's strongest lines.

Not to do the pair a disservice, Heidi did demonstrate that she knew her way around a broom while Spencer tidied up a packet of crisps. Mr Speidi did line up the dining room chairs – a chore no one else had rushed to do.

The remaining housemates are staying tight lipped about the twosome's level of interaction. Are they still paranoid that Speidi are watching them, ready to pounce?

Heidi briefly joined the housemates' snowball fight in the garden, prompting Spencer to drawl, "At last something good I can watch on the television."

Will Heidi draw him out of his voyeuristic role or will she settle back in with him?

3.44pm: Talk has turned to holidays. Dubai seems to be a popular hangout. Oh to be a celebrity.

3.55pm: Everyone is in the igloo apart from Speidi. Heidi is giving Spencer a very thorough massage in the living room.

4.07pm: The igloo crew are still chatting. Rylan's suggesting everyone have a giant bag of chips for dinner.

Chipper chips or does he mean what we used to call, before the americanisms invaded us, crisps?

4.10pm: Speidi are in the Diary Room.

Day 12: Lacey Phone Home

Lacey’s usual happy disposition was absent earlier when she came out of the Diary Room. As a reward from Big Brother for her victory in the Tell it like it is task, Lacey had been granted a quick phone call from her brother, which – albeit a lovely reward, led to the girl feeling a little bit homesick.

As ever, Rylan was on hand to give a hug as the emotional model talked about how much she was missing home.

“I didn’t realise how much I missed all my brothers. As long as I’ve done them proud and been myself,” she mused.

“That’s all you can do,” Rylan assured her.

After a little teary turn, Lacey cheered up and told Heidi and Spencer she was ready to party again after feeling a bit secluded, what with her being the youngest housemate. Speidi united in their wisdom to give her some sage advice, saying, “No matter how much experience you’ve had, all you need is more time. I think you’re one of the most genuine people in here.”

Lacey agreed that time was the most important thing, so it looks like it’s a day for growing as well as snowing. Metaphorically speaking.

4.22pm: The House is very quiet. Big Brother won't like that. How do you think BB will shake it up?

4.21pm: All this snowy action has tuckered out our housemates who are all half-asleep on the sofas. Razor's wondering about tasks.

4.29pm: Someone put their foot down. It was Big Brother! Speidi have been asked to give up the basement.

4.32pm: Speidi are not happy but have rejoined the main House. They'll be back sleeping alongside the other housemates tonight.

4.45pm: Heidi has told Spencer to stop being so entertaining. We'd like to see him try.

4.50pm: How are the other housemates reacting to Speidi being back in the House full time? Chat is mainly about shepherd's pie.

4.57pm: Razor and Frankie are specualting about how Speidi will shape up in the House from now on.

5.08pm: Lacey says she needs to know someone for at least two months before she feels comfortable shouting at them.

Day 12: Speidi told to move out of the basement 13 mins ago

Three days on from their dramatic re-introduction to the house, Big Brother has decided to get tough with Heidi and Spencer. Following Friday night’s drama, Big Brother allowed the couple to sleep in the basement, so that everybody could take a little time out and let the situation calm down.

However, with no sign of Speidi voluntarily integrating with the rest of the house, Big Brother called the pair to the Diary Room to tell them enough was enough. They were instructed to move themselves and their possessions back to the main bedroom, as Big Brother wants the basement back. And unsurprisingly, they weren’t happy about it.

"I knew this would happen", sighed Spencer, before Heidi declared that "it was too good to be true". Nevertheless, they dutifully packed up their clothing and trundled to the bedroom, reclaiming the bed that they vacated last week. This is a far from ideal situation for Team America, but they seem to now be aware that Big Brother’s word is final, and that if they want to be on the show, they have to do as they’re told.

But how are the rest of the housemates reacting to this new state of affairs? Well, Rylan is snoozing in the igloo while Tricia and Claire are in the kitchen discussing shepherd’s pie recipes. We guess nothing fazes this lot any more...

5.22pm: Speidi are back in the House but not really mingling - though Spencer did just announce that he feels like demanding wine.

5.35pm: An automated voice asking cheeky question about whether the HMs are celebrities signifies the start of #CBBbigvender task.

5.44pm: After having asked everyone what they do #CBBbigvendor's circuit boards have decided only Rylan and Claire are celebrities.

5.48pm: Claire and Rylan must now lead separate teams in a talent contest taking place later. Everyone must sing... #CBBbigvendor
