The latest news snippets and gossip from the house...

Sara told the group that there should be a celebration today after Rex showed his generous side and allowed her a puff of his cigarette as they sat together in the ashtray.

Lisa finished her look off this morning by adding a small umbrella cocktail stick to her hair. She not only wore the decoration for her morning run, but also ensured the piece was in place during her task rehearsals.

Sara asks Lisa if she would be invited to the wedding and Lisa said she definitely would be. "Of course you are, it wouldn’t be the same without you - My Big Brother buddy," she answered. Lisa said it would take a lot of planning and preparing, replying "God knows" when Sara enquired when it might be.

Rex’s headband prompted housemates to liken him to a movie star from the 1980s. Mo said he looked like an actor in a military film based in Vietnam.

Head of House Mohamed asked the group to "bear with him" should he be asked to read anything out today. When a laminate arrived for the shopping task, Mo read well until he became stuck on a word and asked Rex to take over. However, he was encouraged to read on by the group who said they wanted to hear about the task from him. Rex occasionally helped with words Mohamed was unfamiliar with.

Mickey told housemates this evening that he is going to start gathering all his things together soon. He went on to describe the house as an "absolute tip".

Mohamed grabbed a pot and steel spoon in a move to keep housemates from falling asleep this evening. He rushed to the luxury bedroom ready to rattle the pot after Big Brother told the Head of House to ensure no-one was sleeping. When he got there, however, Rex said everyone was awake and had been talking when the announcement was made.

Mikey told Mo to stop stealing his chocolate tonight. The Head of House told him he had just had a little bit, but the Scot warned: "Oh Mo, you need to stop that. There is hardly any left." Mo tried to make amends by offering to make Mikey up as Kiki Dee, but Rex said it needed an experienced hand. Lisa offered to assist when she finished her own makeup.

Mo predicted that there will be a lot of noise in the Big Brother garden from Friday onwards. He was in the ashtray with Rex when he pointed out that the stage will have to be built for the show’s finale. He said there would be "big constructions" ongoing over the weekend.

Lisa dropped the three of hearts during her casino croupier rehearsal this afternoon and told Rachel it signalled pregnancy. The sales rep went on to say that she was not going to read anything into it as she realised she had dropped a lot of cards during the practice. Rachel said it could mean the "new life" of Lisa and Mario’s engagement. Rachel then picked a random card from her pack, but Lisa admitted that she had no idea what the three of spades signified.

"Naughty" was how Kat described herself and Sara this evening as the pair attempted to dodge rehearsals and catch some shut-eye in the garden. Sara was heard saying that they would go in the corner "where they can’t see", but the camera quickly focused in on the mischievous illusionist and her assistant. "Are you happy now?" yelled Sara, as the tired performers went back to their rehearsal space. Inside, they again tried to escape Big Brother’s eye, but another camera zoomed in on the pair. "It doesn’t matter where you are," an exasperated Sara moaned.
