Have I said before.... it's wonderful to have you back, and your timing is perfect  

Day 1: An off the (hand)cuff twist recap...

Day 1 round-up: The House is stuffed with talent

People – we have a series on our hands. Twelve brand new housemates entered the House yesterday evening. Some of them settled rumours whilst others may have come as something of a surprise. It's a right mixed bag and it all began when Jim Davidson rolled up to the door.

Expecting to hot foot it indoors, BB laid on a twist. Jim wouldn't be wandering in alone – he was immediately shackled to Linda Nolan – a Nolan Sister no less – kicking off a chain of handcuffed celebrity duos.

Next in was Dappy of N-Dubz fame and he was fastened to Liz Jones – the outspoken journalist who makes a living ruffling feathers. Sam Faiers – she of TOWIE fame – was up next. Our Essex siren was attached to Jasmine Waltz, the tabloid favourite from across the pond.

It's traditional for at least one Page 3 girl to grace the BB carpet and this time we saw Casey Batchelor enter the House. The buxom beauty was cuffed to Blue favourite Lee Ryan. To be fair, neither of them looked too disturbed to be chained together.

Ollie Locke was our next contender. The Made In Chelsea star found himself shackled withLionel Blair – who needs no introduction. Looking a bit like a before and after version of each other, they quickly became firm pals.

Finally, Apprentice runner up and cake-making entrepreneur Luisa Zissman was tied toEvander Holyfield, the world famous boxer probably best known for having his ear chomped by Tyson.

Our new pals settled in. Lionel declared himself the daddy. Liz showed off her tattoo and Sam bonded fast with Jasmine. But soon Jim and Linda (Jinda) were called to the Diary Room by Big Brother who called on them to untie two of their pals (or themselves if they fancied it). They opted to free up Liz and Dappy (Lappy). A decision which upset that Dappycharacter a little bit.

And that was our 12! A mixed bag and no mistake. Keep watching to see how these forced friendships develop. Nothing can possibly go wrong.

I've heard of three of them; the boxer chappy (Evander?), Jim D and Lionel

The house is hideous.  It looks like something a  footballer's wife would have come up with if asked to design their dream home

9.34am: The lights are on. Wakey, wakey HMs.

9.49am: Dappy's DEFINITELY a morning person. Ollie says you shouldn't do Thailand posh, and Jasmine reckons BB water beats LA's

10.03am: Liz approves of the shower, Jasmine approves of British tea; it's a positive morning in the house.

What a great way to start the day - a cheery Lionel Blair wishing you good morning.

Thanks  I was wondering where the tweets were

12.29am: The HMs have their suitcases and are unpacking. "Did anyone bring a onesie?" "Yeah!"s all round. #onesieparty anyone?

12.44pm: Ollie is wearing his trademark Union Jack onesie. It's a good look. #bbuklive

Thanks erin & MrsH 

12.57pm: Here it is in it's full glory... #bbuklive pic.twitter.com/7qW0RccpdX

1.11pm: Casey is patiently waiting for Lee while he showers.

1.27pm: Lionel, Ollie, Jim, Linda & Liz are talking about tech. Do you also think that handheld tablets were sent from the future?

1.48pm: The HMs are in the bedroom, talking about times when they've been really really hungry. They're divided 50/50 on haggis.

2.02pm: The HMs are discussing their favourite TV shows. No one has said Big Brother yet. Um, we're RIGHT HERE, guys.

2.17pm: Evander is talking about his boxing career. The housemates are gripped... and so are we. 

2.31pm: The housemates are discussing their favourite way to eat carrots. Seriously.

2.48pm: *TASK TIME* Details coming up...

3.08pm: Here's the details of today's task: http://www.channel5.com/bigbrother/article/text/Day-2-Task--Building-Blocks-of-Celebrity …

Day 2: Task - Building Blocks of Celebrity

This afternoon the housemates are facing their first challenge, and it’s a doozy. In their handcuffed pairs, Jinda, Lappy, Jam, Lasey, Lollie and Levander will be faced with the Building Blocks of Celebrity – big colourful blocks that each represent traits that contribute towards celebrity status. You know the sort of thing: Talent; Celebrity Relationships; Cosmetic Surgery; Money Problems, etc, etc.

In turn, each celebrity must choose a block that applies to them, or their partner, and place it on a tower that represents the level of their fame. They must then justify their choice by sharing a relevant story from their career. If Big Brother isn’t happy with the explanation, the housemate will be asked to elaborate further, and if that still doesn’t cut it, they’ll have to remove the block from the tower. At the end, the pair with the highest tower will be declared victorious.

Whoever wins will be awarded the key to their handcuffs and gain immunity from the first eviction, so it’s all to play for! Even though Dappy and Liz have already been granted immunity, they’ll still have to take part; if they win, they can grant immunity to whomever they choose.

Surely that`s an error. Dappy and Liz are up for eviction. 

3.18pm: The celebrities are baring all - from their charity work, overcoming demons to plastic surgery confessions.

3.28pm: Dappy has just explained the story behind *that* picture...

3.46pm: Lee says he's written seven screenplays. Who'd have thunk it?

I will be around just after 6pm.

4.01pm: Jasmine is talking about her brush with the law.

have spoken to fluffs and sorted which tweet link we need in widget - awaiting Lori to change it 

These should come in handy... #CBB pic.twitter.com/gfhLqVvoMp

Well done    

4.12pm: Lee says his most extravagant purchase was a sports car when he was just 16.

4.13pm: Evanders was a 20 million pound house. In cash. Evander wins.

4.24pm: FYI - the task is still going on. These celebs have so many juicy stories to tell.

It`s a bit more work but I quite like the tweets being posted in here.

Peeps can join in more....

What do you think? 

4.44pm: Liz just said she feels it's her job as a writer to be controversial. This hasn't gone down brilliantly with the other HMs
