CBB6: Day 15 - Battle of the Sexes Task

Michelle Heaton read out the latest Task given to the Celebrity Big Brother housemates, and it was quite fitting given the rising tensions in the house between the boys and girls.

Housemates will be asked to perform a series of challenges that will include cooking, memory, multi-tasking, common sense, presentation and bravery.

Quite a tall order, but seeing as there are five men and five women left in the House, they should be pretty evenly matched until tonight's eviction that is!

CBB6: Day 14 - Food Looting In Celeb BB House

Food looting has been the result of the desperation felt in the Celeb Big Brother house as the ten housemates were condemned to a week of basic food rations after failing this weeks Shopping Task. It became a free-for-all when Big Brother announced the shopping had arrived.

Ulrika, Michelle and Coolio were first in line as they helped themselves to tuna, eggs and cereal. Housemates hid their loot away from the less adventurous housemates but it didn't go unnoticed.

"It was amazing to see the food, all the girls went in there and just took it. They went straight to the back and grabbed it," said LaToya. "They took it to the rooms?" asked Verne. "Yeah, with their food. No talking. It's different, it's not the same atmosphere anymore." "That's what they started," said Verne, gesturing to the Luxury Bedroom. "They got their food, we got our food." "Yeah," shrugged Latoya.

CBB6: Day 14 - Michelle Feels Left Out

Shock horror - Michelle goes into the Diary Room and there is not a tissue in sight as she manages to talk to Big Brother and NOT cry!

"What have you learned from your time in the House?" asked Big Brother.

"That I'm a cry baby," replied Michelle.

"Have you grown or changed?" asked Big Brother.

"I've probably dealt with issues more maturely," she began. "Big Brother has given me some advice, when you told me to go and speak to Coolio and iron out our differences, it was good advice." Big Brother does have good ideas sometimes, Michelle.

"I went to speak to him and even though it's not plain sailing and not smelling of roses but it's better than it was. I have respect for Coolio. Even though I don't agree with the things he says and does, doesn't mean we can't get on. I feel better since I've spoke to him."

But as that drama ends, another one could be about to unfold. "I was with the four girls and we didn't appreciate Coolio," she said. "But now I've ironed out my differences I feel a bit snubbed by the other three cos I'm not bitching about him. It's not that things don't still grate on me, but I've only got a few days left and I don't want to spend my time moaning."

Big Brother pushed her further on the subject of being snubbed. "You-lrika made a point of Coolio being my 'new best friend'. I feel like You-lrika is a good friend in here and I hope that continues."

CBB6: Day 13 - Ben Tells Michelle To Get Controversial

Ben told Michelle that she should get controversial if these are to be the last two days in the Celeb Big Brother house. The pair who have been getting along too well - in some people's estimations, enjoyed an intimate chat on the heated seats.

Michelle confessed that she had spent most of her time crying so far in the BB house and was unable to turn off the tear ducks. Ben joked and said she was going for the sympathy vote, before he encouraged her to get controversial.

Yet fans of Michelle can sleep easier tonight because bookies have tipped loud mouth Tina as the next housemate to leave the Celebrity BB house on Friday.

CBB6: Day 13 VIDEO - Verne Does A Stunt

No it's not a joke about stunted growth you evil Big Brother fans, this is a stunt involving Verne. Famous for his role as Mini Me in Austin Powers, the pint sized star has won over the nation and the Celeb housemates with his actions.

Today he impressed them some more by showing them he could jump into Michelle's arms, watch the C4 video and see if she will catch him or if he'll fall onto Ben.

CBB6: Day 12 - Ulrika's Advice Line

Ulrika was full of wisdom for Michelle after another upsetting night thanks to Coolio stirring things with Ben and Michelle.

It's amazing how one or two days can change everything," said Michelle. "There's still a big part of me that wants to stay as long as possible."

"Well that's why you mustn't let Coolio ruin it for you," said Ulrika.

"No," said Michelle, "I know I mustn't."

"Listen," said Ulrika, "I'm saying all this and people said it to me. It doesn't sink in really because you can't take away somebody's pain."

Ulrika was referring to her fall-out with Terry. It seems she is still (yes, still) smarting after Terry told her he thought she was conceited.

"You've got to try to take control of it," said Ulrika, "because this is your experience, it's something that you want to have.

Actually... probably... the public will not like to see you upset, I shouldn't imagine."

CBB6: Day 11 - Michelle Upset By Coolio (yet again)

It's a daily process - Coolio ribs Michelle, Michelle cries. Seems like a case of deja vu every day in the CBB6 house. While the other housemates have told Michelle to shrug off Coolio's comments about her and Ben, she has been getting more and more wound up as the days go by..........

"I can't take anymore of Coolio," she said, throwing herself down on a chair. "He doesn't understand. Stupid remarks, and it's not funny anymore."

"I find myself walking away from Ben because of Coolio. It's really, really hurting me and it's hurting my boyfriend and it really p***** me off."

"go in there and have a serious talk with him," suggested LaToya.

"I have done. Then first day he apologised. Then he keeps going on and he thinks it is a joke," sobbed Michelle. "When I come out of here I want to know my boyfriend is there waiting for me. That's the only thing that's keeping me going in here."

"Michelle, stay strong," advised LaToya.

"I'll have a word with him, said Tommy.

"Ben's had enough as well," added Michelle.


"As Michelle looked distraught, Coolio exited the Diary Room and LaToya followed him to try and to convince him to cut Michelle some slack.

"I'm just joking," he spat, clearly unconcerned.

"I said, don't pay attention to Coolio," LaToya told him. "She can't take it anymore."

"Well, then she'll leave," shrugged Coolio. "You don't be the judge," said LaToya. "This is my house and I'll do what I want in my house," he shouted. "I can say whatever I want to say. I'm the king. I don't care."

"Mmm, the the truth hurts," nodded LaToya.

"I'm not trying to break someones relationship," ranted Coolio. "I'm a realist. I'm not hurting her, she's hurting herself."

CBB6: Day 9 - Michelle In Tears (again!)

Michelle Heaton was in tears again and it was all thanks to Coolio. He certainly knows how to wind the ex- Liberty X singer up. Just one word is enough to get her flowing, and that word is "Ben".............

"You're all having a good time, doing all those gesture-ations," laughed Coolio, unable to keep up any longer, sprawled across the carpet. "Slugging your head around and s***. It's good practice for y'all."

"Five, six, seven..." continued Michelle. "Y'all count good to eight," joked Coolio.

"I see you looking at Michelle's ass too," teased Coolio, pointing at Ben. "He's gonna f*** you up."

"He hasn't done anything," panted Michelle. "Everytime you turn around you don't see what he's doing," continued Coolio.

But Michelle wasn't happy. "He's looking at the routine," she snapped. "yeah right, " came Coolio's response. "Stop being a s*** stirrer, Coolio," said Michelle. "You're actually grating on me now." "Got my spoon out," he teased. "You're making him feel uncomfortable," shouted Michelle. "Why she looking at your ass then?" said Coolio, not giving up.

Coolio wouldn't let it lie, and Michelle shook her head. "Right then," said Ben. But Michelle was clearly fuming. After another half hour of practice the housemates took a break, and Michelle broke down.

"I can't take it anymore," said Michelle, beginning to cry a bit. "Ben won't say anything cos he's too nice. I feel so sorry for him."

"Unless Coolio's getting all the attention..." began Ulrika, as the girls sat with Michelle. "It's so unfair," said Michelle.

"It's horrible. But Ben needs to let it go over his head, and so do you," advised Mutya. "If he knows that he's pushing the buttons he'll keep doing it," added Verne from across the room.

"But Ben's so nice..." said Michelle.

"I think Ben's letting it go. That's the best way to do it right now," said Verne sagely.

Michelle Heaton and Ben Adams make a good couple according to Coolio, and now the latest Shopping Task has confirmed they would make great parents. Their part of the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous Task was to become parents. But not just to one baby. Oh no, they got ten to look after - ten feedings, ten nappy changes!

"Shall we start singing to him?" she added, keen to take her parental responsibilities seriously.
"You sing, I'll tattoo," replied Ben as he tattooed the name of their 'first born' on Michelle's arm. "Do you know any lullabies?" he added. They called their 'firstborn' Table - true Celebrity name calling........

CBB6: Day 5 - Coolio Apologises

Coolio apologised to Michelle for upsetting her by his comments about her and Ben. A tearful Michelle had sobbed to Big Brother in the Diary Room earlier but now it was Coolio who was bearing his soul to Big Brother.

"Well, yesterday I was messing around with Ben and Michelle, trying to play up that they like each other, when they both have somebody," he said sheepishly. "That was pretty disrespectful and I shouldn't have done that. I think I may have made Michelle feel bad and I apologised to her for that."

And there was more. "And I've been a sexist, male chauvinist pig, playing the gangster card," he added quietly. "Basically somewhat being myself... using my dark side more."

And when Big Brother probed further, Coolio fessed up. "I feel bad. She was crying. She had a bad evening and I probably had a lot to do with that. I won't be that wind up no more - I'll have to find a new way."

CBB6: Day 5 VIDEO - Michelle In Tears

Yesterday it was Michelle upsetting Tina with her "Shrek Princess" comments, so the saying "what goes around comes around" rings true in this case. Life in the Celebrity Big Brother house can be stressful, and comments made by Coolio have upset Michelle, who went into the Diary Room and was soon in tears.

Watch the Channel 4 video below to find out just why Michelle is upset:

CBB6: Day 3 - Showcase Task

La Toya performs

Coolio kicked off the show, performing Gangsta's Paradise, closely followed by Tina and Verne's performance of Romeo and Juliet, Mutya singing Hole in the Head and Ulrika's weather forecast.

Hot on their heels was Terry interviewing Coolio a la 'Word', Ben singing Same Old Brand New You and Lucy spouting off her opinions while wearing a short coat and polka dot briefs. "My first topic that I've been given to talk about is the Labour Party. I'm not a big fan of Gordon and his gang." And she didn't stop there. "I'm fed up of hearing about 'poor heroin addicts', I'd rather my tax money was spent on paying old ladies gas bills and giving people cancer drugs," she added, like a true politician.

Following closely behind was Michelle singing Just a Little Bit. "That was brilliant - you can sing, ya t**!" shouted Tina kindly Next up was Tommy with a political speech about the reasons he thought Iraq was invaded by America - a speech which even drew applause from LaToya and Coolio...

Finally, LaToya took to the stage to sing along to her brother Michael's hit song Wanna Be Startin' Something - a true car crash TV moment. All the whistles, claps and cheers in the world couldn't hide that fact that it was a less-than-perfect performance. But it didn't matter as all the housemates except HoH Terry knew that the whole Task was a way for him to choose another person to join Ulrika in the eviction lineup.
