Cele BB: Jedward Leave House For Supermarket Trolley Dash

Day 16: Having won the Shop Til You Drop Task, John and Edward were called into the Diary Room just before midnight by Big Brother. They were then whisked off to a supermarket in London to take part in a real life trolley dash! They were given five minutes to collect orders from their other housemates before they left. The most notable requests were Paddy’s shoe polish, Amy’s biscuits and Kerry’s menthol cigarettes.

Jedward were given two runs in the supermarket to collect as much as possible. In the first run, John collected £303.46 worth of shopping, with items such as 41lb of bananas, 11 large jars of coffee, 2 legs of frozen lamb and a lot of sweets. We’re not convinced that Darryn will be pleased with that: coffee infused lamb anyone?

In the second run, Edward collected £200.48 worth of shopping, including 16 boxes of organic eggs, 17 boxes of blueberries and 10 punnets of red grapes. It’s reassuring to know that the housemates will be getting at least two of their five a day over the coming week: that is if they enjoy blueberries, anyway.

Jedward returned to the House with their £503.94 worth of shopping in 2 trolleys and woke up the House to show off their successful shop. At least it wasn't £500 worth of hair gel!

Celeb BB: Shop Till You Drop Task

Day 15: The shopping task this week will see Housemates competing against each other in the most epic shopping task to date .... they will literally shop ‘til they drop.

The housemates were called into the garden to take part in the first part of the Task a ‘Carry-a-bag’ competition test of ‘strength’. They were each asked to take two carrier bags filled with cotton wool from stand on a circular disc. They were then instructed to raise their arms to their sides to horizontal level, holding a shopping bag in each hand. There were a few moments of panic when an uninvited wasp decided to briefly settle on Amy’s bag but other than that the eager housemates got off to a strong start.

Rules were simple, if one or both of a housemate’s arms drop down to their side, they will be eliminated by Big Brother. The garden was transformed into a series of grunts and strains as the housemates tried to hold aloft the bags of shopping. Amy was first to drop her arms followed by Tara, Darryn, Paddy and Lucien.

Looking remarkably unaffected by the Task; Jedward, Bobby and Kerry managed to hold their bags of shopping at arms length for the longest amount of time and as a result were the winners of this part of the Task.

Celeb BB PICTURES: Jedward Go Punk

Jedward decided to try and recreate the punk era by bringing a little anarchy to the Big Brother House. Edward, who was suffering from the lack of hair drying equipment, joined John in dressing up as ‘punks’ sporting a tight ponytail cocked up high on his head and set about creating some Jedward styled mayhem in the House.

After a pillow fight in the Garden with Lucien and Bobby, where Jedward threw Lucien’s scarf into the swimming pool, it was time to set their sights on bigger things. A bottle of washing up liquid, two chairs into the pool and some tomato soup flicking later Jedward’s batteries showed no sign of running flat, much to the other housemate’s annoyance. The bedroom was where Jedward decided to end their punk antics pulling the covers from the beds and generally messing up the housemate’s boudoir.

After a telling off from Kerry, Paddy and Amy – Jedward decided to apologise for their punk behaviour and remake all the beds and tidy up the clothes from the floor.

Celeb BB: Four Housemates Face Eviction

Day 15: In another twist on Celebrity Big Brother, newly evicted housemate Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff had to name four housemates she would SAVE from eviction on Friday. It meant that Bobby Sabel, Darryn Lyons, Lucien Laviscount and Tara Reid would face the public vote.

Housemates watched on the big screen as Brian Dowling asked Pamela to name the saved housemates, the studio audience shouted various names and some are concerned that Pamela may have been influenced by the 'popular' names being called out. Viewers will now vote to SAVE either Bobby, Lucien, Tara or Darryn on Friday. So far two females have been voted out of the Celebrity Big Brother house, but with three males up for eviction on Friday it looks like that will even out a little.

Celeb BB: Double Trouble Task Revealed

Day 13: Big Brother thought it was about time that the Housemates got to know each other a little better, and we mean really get to grips with what it’s like in one another’s shoes.... quite literally.

The task will see our celebrities learning what it’s like to have a double by being paired up with one of their fellow Housemates and turned into identical twins! Not only that, they will literally be joined together by their wrists to ensure they are linked at all times.

The housemates must copy and mimic the characteristics of their dominant twin in order to impress Jedward, who will then decide which 2 pairs of twins are the most alike. The chosen 4 will be blindfolded, sat back to back, and their ‘twin tuition’ will be tested by Big Brother.

The pairings will be as follows:

 Perry – Paddy and Kerry (Kerry dressed as Paddy)

Darluc – Darryn and Lucien (Lucien dressed as Darryn)

Amara – Amy and Tara (Taradressed as Amy)

Pambob – Pamela and Bobby (Bobby dressed as Pamela)

Jedward, already being expert twins, will be given the all-important role of ‘Head Twins’ and will monitor the others to ensure they are carrying out all assigned twin duties to the highest standard. Additionally they will be given a choice of items to carry out their tests – A fish, a custard pie, a feather duster and an inflatable hammer.

Will there be some matches made in heaven, or will there be a case of just one too many peas in a pod?

The all-round winning set of twins will be highly rewarded by Big Brother with a very special treat…

Celeb BB: Fright Night Task Results

Day 12 Had the housemates attempting to eat disgusting garlic dishes in order to win tickets to watch Fright Night 3D in Big Brother’s new task room cinema. The results were:

Tara vs. Amy: Garlic Smothies – Tara won

Darryn vs. Bobby: Garlic Cereal – Bobby won

Paddy vs. Lucien: Garlic Ice Cream – Paddy won

Pamela vs. Kerry: Garlic Chocolates – Pamela won

John vs. Edward: Garlic Jelly – John won

Stars Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Anton Yelchin went into the house to deliver the results and the golden tickets. They also had one extra golden ticket to give away, but in order for a housemate to win it, they had to attempt to eat a garlic kebab skewer. Unable to contemplate spending the evening apart from his brother, Edward took on the challenge. He didn’t manage to eat all the garlic, but the actors appreciated his effort and gave him the ticket anyway.

Christopher and Anton took the winning housemates into the cinema room, introduced their new movie and said their goodbyes. The housemates then sat down to watch the movie with our six lucky channel 5 competition winners who were all at the back of the cinema dressed as skeletons, along with Jamie from Bit On The Side. Pamela throughout the film looked like she was trying to fold into a crease of the chair, whilst Jedward next to her were having a hair-raising experience.

Those lucky contest winners got to get scared witless along with the Big Brother Idols, not sure if this was a Trick or a Treat but everyone left with smiles on their faces.

Celeb BB: Housemates Punished By Big Brother AGAIN!

Day 13: The housemates learned a valuable message today - Big Brother doesn’t take rule breaking lightly. At 2pm today all housemates were called into the Living Room. Big Brother announced that under no circumstances were nominations ever to be discussed, a few raised eyebrows in the Living Room gave the first indication that this rule hadn’t been taken seriously enough.

Firstly, Big Brother named and shamed the culprits by repeating word for word a conversation between Lucien and Darryn. In the conversation Lucien implied that he had nominated Darryn for eviction and felt remorseful. Having heard the conversation a shocked Lucien buried his head in his hands.

Darryn and Lucien weren’t the only rule breakers though; Pamela and Tara were also caught out for speaking about nominations. Big Brother, narrated the entire conversation between the two forcing the tense housemates to listen.

As punishment Big Brother announced that the hot water would be turned off until further notice and the power supply to hairdryers and strengtheners would be stopped. How will some of the housemates cope with these restrictions? Will they be frustrated with those who were silly enough to try and fool Big Brother?
