Housemates receive birthday presents

Some of the housemates received presents yesterday as part of this week's tenth birthday celebrations.

During the electric shock task, housemates were informed that if they kept their suits on for the duration of the challenge they would each receive a token. Meanwhile, Marcus would win a token if he completed the course.

The successful contestants were later called into the Diary Room and told that they could exchange their token for a present of their choice.

Charlie asked for a burger, fries and a fizzy drink, while Karly plumped for two packets of cigarettes. Sophie decided that she would like to see her chihuahuas and Rodrigo negotiated a letter from home after learning that he couldn't speak to his family.

Siavash also wanted to speak to his mum, but settled for two bottles of wine, 19 cans of cider and a packet of crisps. Meanwhile, Freddie decided to take his token back to the house to share with the rest of the group.

Marcus struggled to choose between an hour with an electric guitar and a date with fellow housemate Noirin, but eventually requested the latter. However, Noirin must agree to the proposal.

Noirin and Lisa did not receive any tokens as they removed their shock pads during the task.
