The lovely Gillian is the fourth housemate to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother House. At least this exit is more peaceful than her EastEnders one....
Gillian was like Kathy Beale in many ways: moral, maternal, caring, with an urge to keep her head down when conflict arose. When Speidi re-entered the House and sparks began to fly she kept her peace, famously muttering, "I've had enough arguments to last a lifetime." She was nothing if not consistent for, despite watching the house for 48 hours straight and finding faults with everyone else in the process, Speidi had only words of praise for the diplomatic and good-natured housemate.
From the beginning, she was seen as genuine, getting voted into the main House ahead of Ryan when Rylan and Frankie judged her the least fake one. The House lost no time in testing the extent her goodwill, making her the fall-gal in a prank. Her laugh â after her scream â was the loudest of them all. A situation mirrored when she got gunged good and proper on Day 6.
Sometimes with Gillian around we felt like we'd been transported to a cockney boozer back when pubs were pubs. Jolly old-fashioned songs like 'Roll Out the Barrel' sung with the infectious exaggerated charm of a landlady who wants everyone to join in were daily occurrences during Gillian's reign. Long anecdotes, stray jokes and sharp quips were her conversational alternatives to trash-talking and the House will surely miss her level-headedness and easy humour.
Her one indiscretion was a spot of noms chat with Speidi. Their punishment was getting sent to the igloo for a cockney knees up. While the rest of the housemate enjoyed a glitzy champagne party, Gillian educated the Americans about jellied eels and Chas and Dave. It was kind of beautiful. Speidi got into singing, "Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit". Hard to believe it was only last night. She's gone but every time someone belts out a song or talks in a cockney slang we'll think of her. Tata Gillian, up the apples and pears you go...
Edward Gleaveâ @Ed_StarOnSunday I'm told next Wednesday will be a single eviction, leaving six housemates for the final.
21.56pm: We're back, and the housemates are reeling from Gillian's departure. They seem to think there's another eviction.. #CBB
10.04pm: The HMs are having a toast to their much loved Kathy Beale. Maybe it's about time we told them that is not her actual name. #CBB
10.05pm: Tricia really likes that film Goodfellas, starring Joe Pesky, apparently. Joe Pesky. #CBB
We've only just said goodbye to our lovely Gillian, but there's no rest for the wicked - it's time to vote for your winner! In the frame, we have Claire, Frankie, Razor, Ryan, Rylan, Speidi and Tricia. Who will it be? Over to you.
10.18pm: Crisps are out in post-eviction gloom. Spencer's offering out prawn AND cocktail, apparently! Are there two types
10.18pm: Crisps are out in post-eviction gloom. Spencer's offering out prawn AND cocktail, apparently! Are there two types
They like their crisps

They like their crisps
even the tweets are boring .
10.30pm: Razor and Rylan are speculating another eviction still. If only we could yell through the walls how wrong they were.
10.49pm: Claire's talking about what wines go with what, like a true connoisseur. #CBB
10.55pm: Big Brother has gathered all housemates into the living room. Razor is suitably paranoid. #CBB
11.07pm: It's task time and Big Brother wants to get the housemates talking. #CBB
11.19pm: BB has a series of topics for the housemates to debate. Currently it's, 'should fat people be allowed NHS treatment?' Ooh. #CBB
Cue tears from Claire
They've been through the eviction and come out the other side so you'd think Big Brother would let the housemates relax with a good old fashioned knees up, right? Wrong.
Our housemates are going to have to work for their party.
The gang will be discussing a number of 'hot topics' provided by BB. They will take it in turns to select cards from BB's question box. Each card will have a statement to be discussed to Big Brother's satisfaction.
All housemates must take part and we are hoping for a heated debate.
If they are successful they will be able to let their hair down this evening with drinks and music.
11.34pm: HMs agree that fat people should be able to get NHS treatment. What do you think? Next topic please BB.
11.42pm: The topic is...Is the USA the greatest country in the world? What do you think Speidi said? #CBB
12.17am: A bit of snow has fallen off the BB roof, and now Rylan is jumping up and down hoping to evoke an avalanche. #CBB
12.18am: Rylan's comeuppance for jumping up and down has arrived in the shape of a giant mound of snow falling on his head. #CBB
12.23am: The BB House has turned into BB Discoteque, with music, lights, and some serious shapes being pulled. #CBB
12.25am: Heidi is currently grooving up against the BB Big Vendor. That's one lucky vending machine. #CBB
12.36am: Tricia is in the Diary Room. She is missing out on a right hoot in the living room. There aint no party like a CBB party
12.25am: Heidi is currently grooving up against the BB Big Vendor. That's one lucky vending machine. #CBB
She must have felt at home and comfortable dancing with another cold as steel, almost inanimate machine
12.40am: Housemates singing Somebody Else's Guy. In slow motion. We're sure they'll get the key right eventually.
12.50am: Tricia and Frankie are having a big cuddle on the sofa. Tricia is making sure Frankie's for real, after Ryan's fake task-hug
1.03am: Tricia has revealed she has never seen East Enders. It's a good thing Gillian is no longer in the House.
1.14am: Razor's singing Pretty Woman. It makes a nice chance from Tricia's constant warbling
1.32am: The party is winding down. Talk has turned to Gillian
With Big Brother taking on the role of David Dimbleby in the Question Time task, we were hoping for some seriously heated discussion from the House.
But the housemates, fresh from escaping eviction were not in the mood to argue.
Topics ranged from whether religion was a force for good to gay parenting but this lot refused to differ in their opinions.
The question, 'Does fame bring happiness?' gave Rylan an excuse to launch into another rant about what an uphill struggle fame is. Heidi agreed that it comes at a price.
She said: "Sometimes I just want to go to a movie with my husband without body guards. Sometimes I would trade all the money I have not to be famous."
However Big Brother decided the housemates had done their best and gave them the gift of music and a top up on their drinks. That's when things got really interesting.
Heidi really let her hair done with some fierce grinding up against Big Vendor while Spencer was content to get intimate with a cheese burger.
Rylan got up on a chair with his arms in the air, Razor did 'the lawnmower' and Frankie showed he had moves like Jagger...seriously.
We can't take our eyes off the House. It's a real shame Gillian isn't there to enjoy the party
