Housemates become Tudors in latest task

This week will see Siavash become King Henry VIII and rule over the others in a Tudor-themed task.

Following Big Brother's call for the most "blue-blooded" housemate to come to the diary room, Siavash automatically took on the role of the former King of England and also chose parts for the rest of the house.

He picked six wives – Angel, Freddie, Karly, Rodrigo, Sophie and Sree – who will all rehearse the madrigal 'Now Is The Month Of Maying' by Thomas Morley.

Courtiers Kris and Charlie are required to rehearse a dance - the Volta - in time for tomorrow.

Noirin and Lisa became cooks, while they will provide a set feast including Meat Apples and Head of Hog.

Finally, Marcus was given the role of Village Idiot, where only himself, Siavash and the two cooks may enter the kitchen.

As well as the characters, provisions including spinach, radishes, seasonal berries and five chickens have been given for general consumption.

The housemates have until tomorrow to prepare their roles for a banquet to celebrate Henry’s 518th birthday.
