1.30pm: The Dictator has requested for Speidi to run him a bath - not too hot, not too cold

1.39pm: Ryan is reading out more rules. He seems at home with this job.

1.34pm: The Dictator prefers natural beauty, therefore all beauty products have been banned and make-up must be removed.

Can't see Spiedi being happy eating out of tins

1.56pm: The beauty product ban is hot on the housemates lips.

2.04pm: Rylan has handed over his fake tan. He is distraught - "I don't know how I'm going to do this" he whines

Day 13: Beauty is banned under The Regime

The regime has taken its first prisoner – the housemates' beauty products.

Frankie 'The Dictator' Dettori was carried into the garden in his secure vehicle – think the Popemobile crossed with a sedan chair – and broke the news to his loyal subjects who were cheering and waving flags. It was quite a spectacle.

Housemates must take off their make-up and exist only with deodrant, moisturiser, tooth paste, mouthwash and soap.

From his balcony, His Excellency also announced that they will be wearing uniforms.

Claire and Rylan had already been threatening to overthrow their new ruler after being banned from the bathroom, but in keeping with their leader loving rules, praised Dettori's decisions with Rylan calling out, "Your decision to take away our make-up was the right one."

He wasn't so keen with The Dictator's personal addition to the rule book – all the housemates' cigarettes were confiscated and they will not be allowed to smoke unless he says so.

"I don't think I can do this," whined Rylan.  

Guard Ryan (who is loving this task a bit too much already) put his foot down saying, "C'mon mate – let's get this over with." That told him.

Something tells us Frankie may have a few less-than-loyal subjects on his hands before too long. We'll keep you posted.

 

 

Frankie is really taking to his new role

 

 

The Dictator-mobile

 

 

Housemates will all be dressed in uniform

 

 

The Dictator and his guards lay down the law

2.18pm: The Dictator is giving out the lunch food rations. This is going to be interesting.

2.21pm: Tricia thinks it's only going to get worse under The Dictator. What do you think?

2.21pm: From their reactions, we're guessing the food isn't that great.

2.37pm: So far, they've unearthed prunes, sardines and what they think is dog food. Yummy.

2.43pm: Lacey says she doesn't understand why they have to have rules. Maybe she should have kept hold of those encyclopedias.

2.57pm: The Dictator has requested Speidi run him a bath

  again - hour and half ago we got the same tweet 

3.15pm: Gillian is lamenting the loss of a few of her favourite cleaning products. Harsh.

3.32pm: Frankie is in the pool. He has requested some singing from Rylan. Poolside. What a treat.

3.40pm: Rylan wants to tint his beard

3.51pm: Rylan has given a rousing rendition of Spandau Ballet's 'Gold' for The Dictator's aural pleasure.

4.03pm: The Dictator is bathing, flanked by his trusty bodyguards

4.13pm: The girls are moaning about the lack of food. Talk about pampered - it's only been half a day!

4.26pm: Frankie has requested Ryan hum rather than sing in future as he does not think his vocals are up to scratch.

4.41pm: The civilians are attempting to cook a meal from the food rations again. They've gone for a eggy-ham combo.

4.48pm: While the Dictator and the guards are tucking into a roast dinner. We know what we'd rather..

4.58pm: Rylan, Gillian and Tricia are singing songs from The Sound of Music. They sound far too happy to us. What will Frankie think?

Day 13: Frankie's loving it

Thanks LUTers I miss LF even more at task time

Yea,when the tasks are good LF was great,P.S fired off a few phone votes for Speidi.

 Good for you katty

5.13pm: Speidi are sleeping with their Frankie flags positioned between their legs.

5.27pm: There are rumblings of discontent among the housemates. Could this be the start of a peasants' revolt?

5.37pm: BB is on the phone to the all powerful Frankie briefing him on how to conduct an allegiance ceremony. Any HM who doesn't kiss his...

.. whip will get banged up in jail. The most loyal subject will win the honour to massage his feet. Don't know which is worse really.

Thanks Baz   yeah me too 

5.55pm: It would seem as if the HMs have had enough of being downtrodden. The allegiance ceremony should be interesting.

Evening all 

Thanks MrsH   

I can take over now 

6.03pm: The ceremony is upon us! All hail the mighty Frankie!

6.08pm: Razor has noticed Tricia laughing during Frankie's speech. Uh-oh. Oppressed People Guide advises no laugh.

6.10pm: HMs are lining up to tell Frankie why they love him. Spencer's gone to town praising his smell and stature.

6.14pm: One HM has gone rogue, insulting Frankei instead of praising him. Oppresed People Guide is very much against this.
