Housemates pass Japanese task

Housemates whooped and cheered as Big Brother announced that they had passed their two-day Japanese task tonight, ensuring a luxury shopping budget for the coming week.

Such was the excitement that Darnell was given a bleeding nose from an over-zealous cuddle.

Words like "chocolate" and "cake" filled the room as the celebrations continued.

Rex joked: "What are people going to argue about now?"

The group was told that they could also get out of their costumes, prompting Alexandra to say she never wanted to see another kimono in her life.

Rachel said she thought everyone was "spot on" in the task, adding that they should all feel proud.

Talk soon turned to alcohol, with Rex suggesting that the group buys 110 bottles of beer from their increased shopping kitty.

Winning the task means they will now be given £5 per person, per day to spend.
