Housemates thrilled by snow

The housemates awoke this morning to find that it had snowed, much to the excitement of Shilpa.

Ian, traditionally one of the earlier risers, made the discovery. He told Jermaine before rousing Shilpa to tell her the news. "It's snowing?" responded the open-mouthed actress, who has never seen snow fall.

However, the effects weren't very easily seen in the AstroTurfed garden. "If this was real grass it would be white," dreamed Ian.

Although the snowfall itself had been missed, Cleo was adamant that there was still hope. "It's going to come back," she announced, "look at the sky."

In the meantime, Cleo decided to tide Shilpa over with a gratefully-received ball of snow she collected from one of the garden sofas. "Snow!" Shilpa exclaimed, as she dashed about the house with it.
