So â not a bad haul for the Borehamwood bunch. We're sure Jim can cook up a treat with that lot. Unless Luisa gets there first. Then there'll likely be an argument â and we'll be covering it all in its hideous glory!
Get your hobs on, housemates!
Day 19 round-up: The housemates finish in pole position
The North Pole task blew into Day 19, as the housemates awoke to another snowy day in the Borehamwood bungalow. The Huskies â Dappy, Luisa, Casey and Lee - were straight into character, howling for their breakfast. Little did they know that this would entail Linda eating dog food.
The trek continued in the afternoon, as the huskies battled against the bitter Elstree elements in an attempt to reach the North Pole. We're sure you're itching to know if they did, so we'll put you out of your misery and tell you that they did.
And even better news, once they arrived there they managed to ice pick their way through an avalanche to rescue the food inside - hurrah! But it was obviously all a smokescreen and the true nature of the task was revealed to the dismayed Explorers. Linda did eat dog food, after all.
With a luxury budget in hand, the housemates didn't waste a minute ordering all sorts of delights â nut cutlets being our personal favourites.
In the evening, Dappy and Luisa learnt a valuable lesson involving a twosie. There was brief tiff between Sam and Ollie, followed soon after by an epic storeroom siege. Okay, we admit the last bit might be slightly exaggerated.
With spirits high, the housemates joked late into the night â even Jim stayed awake for bedtime japes. Let's hope they're not too bushwhacked this morning. They've got a big night ahead of them â it's only eviction number four!
8.45am: Morning, troops! It's all going on in the House right now. Not really, they're all still asleep
9.00am: Still not a peep from the HMs. If our three nominated HMs are having eviction nightmares, they're not showing it
9.21am: Still not a peep. Maybe they think if they don't wake up, the evictions won't happen. Switch the lights on, Big Brother!
9.32am: Lights, camera... a little bit of action. Jim's first to rise, Luisa next. The others are battling on to sleep a bit more
9.39am: We have an Ollie! And a Casey! So that's four up, five still hiding under their duvets. Rise and shine, guys!
9.47am: And this morning's prize for Outstanding Contribution To Bed Hair goes to... Ollie!
9.53am: When in doubt, send in the food. The luxury shopping has arrived and suddenly they're ALL getting up
10.08am: It's eviction day and Sam's buried her head under the pillow. We might sneak in and give her a cuddle.
10.16am: Luisa says she has an itchy throat. "That doesn't sound healthy" says newly-qualified GP, Dr Dappy
10.32am: Ollie and Dappy have been talking in Irish accents for about ten minutes. Absolutely no idea why
10.54am: Lee's not getting out of bed. "I'm not lazy, I'm just letting everyone else use the shower first. I'm a giver."
11.08am: Jim and Luisa are planning to cook dinner together tonight. Are they finally bonding?!
11.18am: The HMs have a clear view on who will be evicted tonight, but this series has been full of shocks. Another tonight?
Day 20: Eviction night beckons...
5 mins ago
As the Hollywood clichÃĐ goes, itâs just an honour to be nominated. That doesnât really apply in Celebrity Big Brother though, does it? Tonight, Sam, Jim and Liz face eviction from the House, so how are they coping?
Well, for Jim and Liz, of course, this is nothing new. They have both faced eviction three times already, seeing off Evander, Jasmine and Lionel in the process. Consequently, they havenât shown any obvious signs of duress since Sundayâs nominations.
If anything, Liz has become noticeably more comfortable,delivering a stunning performance when Luisa was challenged to make her laugh, and contributing more to living area chats than ever before. Jim, buoyed by the audience cheers on Eviction Night 3, has shown no signs of changing his ways, shifting effortlessly between his dual roles of stand-up comedian and grumpy old man.
For Sam, however, this is all new, and itâs not been easy to take. Watching the nominations didnât help, with Jim saying she could disappear for two days and nobody would notice, and Liz suggesting that Sam makes very little effort to start conversations.
Perhaps conscious that sheâs being perceived in some quarters as boring, on Day 18 Sam asked Ollie who heâd rather kiss: her or Jasmine? She then asked him if he fancied her. Was this an attempt to stoke the fires of a potential relationship, thus convincing the voting public to keep her in? If it was, she forgot all about it the next day, confessing that she doesnât see Ollie as more than just a friend.
Today, sheâs been very subdued. As the luxury shopping arrived, the housemates jumped out of bed to unpack. Spirits were high, but then most of them didnât have an eviction to worry about. Sam quietly slipped off for a shower, alone with her thoughts.
It could be a long day...
11.22am: Ollie is pouring his heart out to agony aunts Dappy and Lee. He's not given up on Sam yet
11.41am: Just checking that you packed everything, Dappy?
WE'VE all seen how cruel Big Brother can be when toying with housemates and confiscating their personal belongings.
INSIDER KNOWLEDGE: Linda Nolan's sister Coleen has alread been on CBB [CH 5 / MATT FROST]
And Linda Nolan is taking no chances when it comes to her make-up bag being poached.
With the I'm In The Mood For Dancing hitmaker going under the tattoo gun for an etching.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Online ahead of the Channel 5 launch night, the former chart-topper explained: "Once I have my make-up on, yes [I like my own reflection].
"It's not pretty in the morning, but hey. Facially [when inside the CBB house] I think I'll be alright.
"I've brought glasses, and I've had my eyebrows tattooed. My first tattoo at 54."
Linda, whose sister Coleen came runner-up in the tenth series of the reality show, reckons she has learned to keep her bad behaviour under control after watching former episodes.
She said: "I'm going to keep my breasts to myself, I'm not going to wet the bed, and I'm not going to pick a fight with everyoneâĶ she says.
"I think I'll be a peacemaker, but I won't be accepting any of the smelly stuff.
"Most normal people like to be liked, but not everyone's going to go like me, and I won't like everybody.
"I know people always say, but I'm just going to try and be myself, and hopefully some of them will like me so I don't get evicted first."
Glamourpuss Linda joked she had been preparing for the psychological shock by seeing a therapist.
She quipped: "I've been having counselling for the last six months, and I'm on lots of tablets."
Meanwhile, Linda is excited by the prospect of being thrust into a house with plenty of twenty somethings, adding: "Fabulous, let's hope some of them are male."

12.28pm: That's another fine mess you got me into
1.03pm: The girls are in the lounge, talking about their favourite reality TV shows. The boys are in the kitchen, making lunch.
