Verne, Ulrika smash internet target

More than 10,000 people have logged on to watch Verne and Ulrika's rendition of 'Endless Love', ensuring the pair's victory in their singing task.

Members of the public had until 11pm yesterday to view the video of the couple impersonating Diana Ross and Lionel Richie.

The trial, which was set as part of the celebrity Rich And Famous challenge, entailed the duo performing in front of their fellow housemates. Their success depended on a target of 10,000 hits being notched up online.

Channel 4 last night confirmed that the record was "smashed". On Celebrity Big Brother's Little Brother, Popjustice's Peter Robinson ranked the version as the top musical performance so far in the house.
