Celebrity Big Brother 2014 has been extended even further today, with an extra day added onto the series.

Earlier this week it was revealed that – for the first time in Big Brother history – the show’s run would be continued beyond its initial final date.

The show had originally been due to finish on Friday, January 24, exactly three weeks after the launch.

But bosses added four more days to the run, which today has been extended even further.

Insiders put the decision down to the show’s high ratings, up on last year’s equivalent show by over 200,000 viewers on average. Last night’s latest live eviction show was watched by over 2.5 million viewers, as Jasmine Waltz became the second housemate this series to leave the house.

Today Channel 5 have confirmed (for a second time) the final schedule for the Celebrity Big Brother final, which will also include an extra eviction show on Sunday 26th January.

As a result, now the Celebrity Big Brother Final will air on Wednesday 29th January from 9PM.

Following Jasmine Waltz’s exit from Celebrity Big Brother, Lee Ryan is not a happy bunny.

Jasmine was evicted in last night’s Celebrity Big Brother 2014 results after coming bottom in the latest public poll alongside Liz Jones, Luisa Zissman and Jim Davidson.

And in a bizarre new twist, Jasmine chose to save both Case and Linda Nolan from the next eviction, leaving the other housemates to face the chop.

But the outcome of the live show angered Lee who ranted in the early hours of this morning: “She’s [Jasmine] a big girl who can look after herself but tonight really f**king wound me up.

“She’s been voted out of this house and Casey’s sitting there like ‘Oh, thank you!’ It’s bulls**t and I see through it.”

He told Made In Chelsea’s Ollie Locke in the smoking area of Casey: “She’s playing a game.

“Well, if she wants to play, let’s play. She’s playing it well but I ain’t made my move yet, I’ve been holding back but now I’m like, let’s play.”

Lee claimed: “I have bided my time out of respect to Jasmine, I didn’t want to get her involved in it, I didn’t want to create ****.”

Looks like it could all go down in the house todayâ€Ķ or will Lee bottle it and avoid confronting Casey?

Celebrity Big Brother 2014 continues on Channel 5 this evening and there are more tears.

But this time, shockingly, Luis Zissman isn’t involved.

Rather a row breaks out between long warring housemates Linda Nolan and Jim Davidson, which ultimately leaves Linda in tears.

The heated argument broke out in the smoking area with Sam Faiers and Dappy watching on.

But it ended almost as quickly as it began with Linda retreating to the bedroom to have a good old weep with Sam and Dappy for support.

Elsewhere on this evening’s show, the housemates get a message from evicted Evander Holyfield which leads into a new boxing task.

And there’s of course all the fallout from Jasmine Waltz’s eviction and subsequent nominations twist, with Lee Ryan far from happy with Casey Batchelor.

Celebrity Big Brother 2014 airs tonight at 9PM on Channel 5.

Celebrity Big Brother 2014 housemate Lee Ryan has a secret girlfriend, it’s been claimed today.
Despite saying he’s single and getting with two of his fellow housemates within the first week, Lee’s got a girl at home who’s been waiting for him.

According to The Sun, Lee’s been with model Anna Sedokova “for months” after meeting her during a Blue gig in Moscow last February.

Anna herself can hardly be too upset about Lee’s antics however, as the Ukrainian model and TV star was married with kids when she first hooked up with Lee herself.

Anna is a stunning girl who is used to having men at her feet and it was clear that Lee was instantly struck by her.

“Within minutes of meeting her, he hugged her waist, kissed and stroked her neck and whispered something in her ear,” a source said today. “Anna’s behaviour surprised a lot of people as it was well known she was a married mother of two children.”

They explained: “He told everyone how happy she made him and how no one had managed to make him feel that way before.

“For Anna the feeling was mutual as Lee seduced her with his cheeky English charm.”

And friends even thought that the former Eurovision singer was gearing up to propose to the brunette beauty.

“Friends started to gossip that the pair were engaged as Lee told Anna he has ‘one question’ to ask her,” the source added. “As you can see from the CBB house Lee falls for women hard and fast and he doesn’t think it’s strange to propose to a woman who has only been in his life for 24 hours.”

What will Jasmine and Casey think of it all? We’d certainly love Big Brother to come up with some way of getting this story into the house!

4.11pm: Here's an outline of today's task. Read all about it!

 

Day 14: Task - Liz's letters

 

26 mins ago

Those of you who were fans of #Lappy - that's Liz and Dappy - during the handcuff days will be delighted to hear that today's task brings them back together - and this time the stakes are high.

Today, Liz's skills as a journalist will be put to the test as she interviews three of her fellow housemates; with Dappy as her Junior Reporter. After a bit of a one-on-one tutoring session between the two - this is his first time playing at reporter, after all - the intrepid pair will be recording the housemates' stories onto their notepads before reading them back in front of the whole House later today.

If Big Brother is pleased with their work, the whole house will be rewarded. Will they be successful? Stay tuned to find out!

5.23pm: CLANG! Lionel gives us a ! Heard of Montgomery Clift? Luisa hasn't. Lionel's aghast at her ignorance.

Celebrity Big Brother: the purest form of reality television

11:04AM GMT 16 Jan 2014

 

It isn’t easy to defend Celebrity Big Brother. The problem with enjoying a show this outwardly puerile and vacuous is that when people – and believe me, there is no shortage of willing candidates – explain to you just how puerile and vacuous it is, you can but nod in agreement. Quite how they know so much about a programme they wouldn't dream of watching remains a mystery, of course.
The hitch for the critics, however, is that the show remains popular. Now in its 13th series, Celebrity Big Brother continues to draw impressive audience figures – an average of 2.3 million a night this series – and generate salacious newsprint. This year has been no exception.
There has been nudity, a sex party and a seemingly endless supply of alcohol, leading to an unhealthy dollop of bad behaviour. Boy band member Lee Ryan declared his love for glamour model Casey Batchelor but has since been spending an awful lot of time doing God-knows-what in the bathroom with the tap on, accompanied by Jasmine Waltz (you know, the one who “famously” punched Lindsay Lohan). Waltz last night became the second housemate to be evicted from the house. Elsewhere, vicious arguments have also flared up between a number of the housemates: N-Dubz singer Dappy and The Apprentice's Luisa Zissman have screamed at each other in a string of unedifying incidents, while Jim Davidson has upset, well, everybody with his cantankerous attitude, not to mention his jokes. The volatile atmosphere in the house was not helped by this week’s toe-curlingly uncomfortable face-to-face nominations.
Or at least those are the tabloid headlines and I would forgive you for finding all of them soporifically dull. Indeed, it is not the scandal that draws me to Celebrity Big Brother. Where this reality show excels, and where others like I’m A Celebrityâ€Ķ Get Me Out Of Here! and Celebrity Love Island fall down, is its ability to tease out the true characteristics of all the contestants.
In ITV's I’m A Celebrityâ€Ķ the contestants can for the most part hide behind the action of the daily tasks and the bushtucker trials. On the same channel's now defunct Celebrity Love Island, set on an island in Fiji, the beautiful surroundings lent a relaxed, holiday feel to proceedings. It was easy for them to shine in this environment, as they padded along the beach to the waterside hammocks where cocktails awaited.

Conversely, the monotony of living within the same four walls, in glamorous Elstree no less, for weeks on end, never able to escape the camera’s glare, ensures that facades slip and reputations crumble on Celebrity Big Brother. Quite simply, you cannot play up to the camera in the repetitive normality of the house for such a prolonged and intense period of time.
Dappy entered the house and initially charmed his fellow housemates in an attempt to prove that he was likeable, and, in desperate need of a profile boost, marketable. Within days, however, he was struggling to keep up the act, aggressively berating Zissman over her sex life and revealing an unsavoury attitude to women. Zissman, not unreasonably, branded him a “sexist, chauvinistic bigot”. I imagined his agent slouched somewhere, head in hands, muttering grimly: “we talked about this Dappy, we talked about this.”
Similarly Evander Holyfield expressed his contempt for homosexuals in an indiscreet moment, while Daily Mail columnist Liz Jones continues to expose her vulnerability in a way not even a lifetime of deeply personal and highly controversial columns has done.
More positively, reality television stars Ollie Locke (Made in Chelsea)and Sam Faiers (The Only Way is Essex) – the two contestants you might have predicted to act most outrageously (normally a byword for tediously) – have behaved with a maturity and decorum rarely displayed on their respective television shows. Both of them will benefit from this experience. Our celebrity-obsessed world can be misleading but Celebrity Big Brother is consistent in exposing inaccuracies and false perceptions.
Despite the glitz of the opening night, the screaming eviction crowds and the paparazzi’s flashing bulbs, Celebrity Big Brother actually very cleverly undermines the celebrity myth. What we see is the true face of these people who are so often shielded by publicists, adoring fans and the false shimmer of gossip magazines.
Big Brother launched in Britain in 2000, more as a social experiment than anything else, and it remains the purest form of reality television, putting people under the microscope and analysing their every action. Humans are fascinated by their own species and while what we see isn’t always pretty, it’s never less than captivating. Big Brother, I'm watching you.

 I mostly fully agree with this article....BRING BACK LIVE FEED, I would have included, so we can see how they really cope with the boredom of the BB house.
