Big Brother said farewell to Harry Amelia Martin last night, after the glamour model from Loughborough lost out in this week's public vote. This morning, Harry spoke to reporters about her time in the house, and discussed her future with Nick, what she thinks of Nikki and why she thinks Chloe isn't a hypocrite for taking the five grand.
Hi Harry, how does it feel to be out of the house?
"Relieved partly. I got to see my sister, who wrote me the lovely letter, and I also got to see all my friends and family... But I do miss the house. I do miss the environment because in there, you don't have to worry about anything happening outside. You get up in the morning and do whatever. It would have been nice to make the final, but I thought I don't mind going as I thought I had a...

The Big Brother housemates must live on basic rations for the next week, after failing the latest shopping task.
The house had been transformed into a hotel for the past few days, with several of the housemates required to serve as part of the staff.
In order to pass the task, the hotel must retain its five-star rating by providing satisfactory service to all of the VIP guests - including John McCririck, Charley Uchea, Dexter Koh, Jasmine Lennard and James Jordan.
However, Big Brother revealed that two of the staff housemates broke the rules.
Harry Amelia Martin deserted the concierge desk at one point, leaving it unattended. Jack McDermott also helped himself to the guests' pastries, in retaliation after getting frustrated with Joel Williams.
Some of the contestants - particularly Jack - reacted badly to the result.

Remind us never to check into Hotel Bb. The latest Big Brother task has set most of the housemates to work and it's fair to say that their customer service often leaves something to be desired.
Last night's show saw the exit of guests Charley Uchea and John McCririck and the arrival of Dexter Koh and Jasmine Lennard. But as always, some of the housemates came out of it all looking good while others didn't, so read on for our daily verdict:
Good Day
Cristian Mjc
One way to win our heart and earn a place in Good Day is to make us laugh, and boy, did Cristian do that in last night's show.
It began with yet more of his fascinating rapping as he 'entertained' the hotel guests - goodness, goodness me - but of course the main entertainment came when Jasmine took a liking to him all of a sudden.

The Big Brother hotel has got a new guest! James Jordan has become the latest famous face to go into the house, and speaking before his grand entrance he promised Digital Spy that he wants to "stir s**t up in there a little bit".
James also defended Marc, didn't have many kind words for Jack, suggested that the house romances aren't so real and explained why he would never go into the house with his wife Ola, so read on for all of that and much more!
So James, you're going to stir things up in there?
"Well, that's what I've been told I've got to do! Hotel from Hell, isn't it? So yeah, I'm going to try and make sure they fail. I want them to fail the task. It's better TV! So if they pass it, fair play to them. But I'm going to make it quite difficult for them.

Hotel Bb opened for business in last night's highlights, as the housemates welcomed two special guests in Charley Uchea and John McCririck - both of whom had quite a few things to say about the contestants.
As usual, we take a look at who gave a good account of themselves and who struggled. Read on for our daily verdict on all the action.
Good Day

No-one had a particularly amazing day, but we're going to give the edge to Harry.
John McCririck coming in led to the Brian incident being brought up again, and Marc was blamed by nearly everyone for his involvement. We're not saying Marc was innocent at all, but it felt like the housemates were very quick to pile on him because Helen wasn't there to attack.

Big Brother's Marc O'Neill has been dubbed a "virus" by John McCririck.
John entered the house yesterday as part of this week's Hotel From Hell task and told Digital Spy today that the 24-hour stay - which will be shown on tonight's highlights - had brought back memories of his previous stints on the show.

"It was so different this time because I was in with hateful people [before]," he said. "They're nice people [in the house now], aren't they? Except for Marc, they are really nice people. And that's what Bruv doesn't want. They don't want harmony and peace and people all being happy. And as viewers, we want the conflict and them arguing with each other and hating and backstabbing and all that, but they are decent people. Except for Marc, they're decent people in there.

Big Brother's Danny Wisker believes Jack McDermott "needs" to win this series, after seeing him react poorly to being nominated.
In highlights airing tonight (June 30), Danny and Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace talk about who will be evicted out of Jack, Marc O'Neill, Harry Amelia Martin and Sam Kay.
"Maybe Jack," Aisleyne guesses. "I don't get why people don't like him."
Danny responds: "He was coming across as really moody."
Discussing how sensitive Jack is following the latest round of nominations, Danny says: "I personally think he needs to win the show."
He adds that Jack's reaction to Sam Kay the day before was over-the-top.
Later, Jack receives some advice from John McCririck - who is staying in Hotel Bb as part of this week's shopping task.

John later gives Marc some advice, commenting: "You don't need to swear because you're so intelligent.

The Big Brother house will host some famous faces as part of the latest Timebomb twist.
For one week, the house will be turned into the Hotel from Hell, with notorious celebrities joining the housemates in the compound.
During tonight's show (June 26), Emma Willis revealed that the first guest that the remaining contestants will need to endure is horse-racing commentator (and former Celebrity Big Brother villain) John McCririck.
McCririck's opinionated ways – and unashamed nose-picking habits – made him a controversial character following the third series of the celebrity spin-off show in 2005.
The 75-year-old will join the house on Monday (June 29), with further celebrities to follow.
Tonight, Simon Gross became the ninth housemate to be evicted via public vote.
Legendary housemates Nikki Grahame and Helen Wood were also removed from the group as their Timebomb adventure came to an end.
Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on Channel 5.

Alexander O'Neal has revealed his reasoning for quitting Celebrity Big Brother following his dramatic departure over the weekend.
The singer became embroiled in two unpleasant confrontations with showbiz blogger Perez Hilton, which resulted in a formal warning from Big Brother over O'Neal's use of an offensive term.
Speaking to CBB host Emma Willis on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side, Alexander revealed why he walked, saying: "I did it for myself and for my housemates."
He added that "the stress became unbearable" prior to his exit, and was subsequently forced to accept that the 'Perez problem' was not going to go away.
But Alexander is not the only disgruntled celebrity housemate to voluntarily leave, and we doubt he'll be the last.
Some, like Claire King, withdrew from the show due to illness, while others have been removed by producers.

Ken Morley has been removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house and frankly, it's something of a relief.
The former Coronation Street actor - who almost makes Nigel Farage look liberal and former CBB star John McCririck the voice of reason - might well have been the most offensive and unrepentantly repugnant celebrity to ever set foot in the Elstree compound.
Ken's behaviour on Saturday night's programme turned the stomach from start to finish. He responded to Perez Hilton's "good morning" with "I hope you washed those fingers" before declaring: "I don't really want a shower but I do realise it's the best place to look at other women's arses... So I'll just wander over" - language which would later get him into big trouble with Big Brother.

John McCririck has lost his age discrimination case against Channel 4.
The 73-year-old pundit claimed he had been sacked from his long-running role on Channel 4 Racing as part of a revamp to hire younger reporters.
However, a Central London Employment Tribunal panel ruled against him today (November 13).
A Channel 4 spokesperson said of the verdict: "We welcome the unanimous verdict of the tribunal that John McCririck's claim fails and that Channel 4 did not discriminate on the basis of age.
"We are grateful to John for his contribution towards Channel 4's racing coverage over many years but disappointed that he decided to bring this claim."
McCririck was axed from the station in 2012, with a new presenting team led by Clare Balding introduced.
He had worked for Channel 4 since it launched its racing coverage in 1984.

John McCririck's former Channel 4 boss has stated that his dismissal was "entirely unrelated to his age".
Channel 4's commissioning editor for sport Jamie Aitchison told a tribunal yesterday (October 2) that the horse racing pundit's "exaggerated tone" was "out of step" with the rest of the channel's output.
McCririck was "seen by many as a comic act rather than a serious horse racing journalist", Aitchison said.
The 73-year-old has accused his former bosses of age discrimination after he was axed last year. Channel 4 and Img Media have denied the claims.
In a statement to an employment tribunal, Aitchison said: "John McCririck's exaggerated tone and style and propensity to offend was out of step with the vision for the programme, and also unappealing and irritating to many current and potential viewers."
Earlier this week, McCririck told the tribunal that his public image as a "pantomime villain" went "side-by-side" with his journalism career.

John McCririck has started legal action against Channel 4 over allegations that he was dropped from the broadcaster's racing coverage due to age. McCririck was one of the channel's presenters to be axed when it switched production teams from Highflyer to Img in 2012. Derek Thompson, Mike Cattermole and Alastair Down were also dropped in the handover. Veteran form expert Jim McGrath has remained on the team, alongside new anchor Clare Balding.

The ever controversial Derren Brown returns tonight on Channel4 with his new investigational series ‘Fear and Faith’. Having just finished his recent ‘Apocalypse’ show last week we thought it a good time to take a look back at some of his biggest events, and perhaps more importantly how he did them.
Having built a career dealing with the awkward, bizarre and ultimately in-tangible he never fails to make everyone at least take a moment of reflection about what’s supposedly going on. He freely points out that he isn’t a psychic, claims no special powers and that all of his ‘abilities’ rely on psychological practices he’s perfected over time.
Derren is far from being the first person to use these psychological effects in either an entertainment or experimental fashion, and I still find it strange how some people can be so resistant to the ideas of persuasion/influence...

Horse racing pundit John McCririck has defended Channel 5 reality show Celebrity Big Brother, describing it as a "mental challenge". McCririck appeared on the reality show twice when it was on Channel 4, cameoing for the second time on Ultimate Big Brother in 2010. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live about the reality show's critics, he said: "They are wrong. It's entirely up to taste and if you don't like it, don't listen and don't watch. But when you go in there it is a mental challenge. "They asked me in the jungle and I wouldn't go. I didn't want to be thrown from aircrafts and eat slugs and that kind of thing. But Big Brother is a mental challenge. It is reality television and there are no scripts. "People go in with their ambitions and agents give them lists of things to do, but in the end they can be broken down.

Ruby Wax is rumoured to have pulled out of Celebrity Big Brother at the last minute. The comic and TV presenter, who has previously appeared on shows including Celebrity Shark Bait and Cirque de Celebrite, was among the rumoured lineup for the Channel 5 reality series, which launches tonight (January 5). However, according to former housemate John McCririck, Wax has withdrawn from the show. "I'm very, very sad indeed, I was in the house yesterday doing some filming. One likely contestant was going to be Ruby Wax. I think she would have been fantastic," McCririck told BBC Radio 5 Live. "She would have been fantastic. Great comedian. If anyone had (more)...

George Galloway pretending to be a cat alongside Rula Lenska has been named Celebrity Big Brother fans' 'Most Memorable Moment'. In a poll carried out by YouGov for Channel 5's Ok! TV, a sample of 302 viewers were asked to choose from a list of events from past series. The winning moment, which secured 24% of the vote, came during the 2006 series when actress Lenska asked the then-mp to assist her in preparing for a task. Galloway proceeded to mimic a cat, purring and licking imaginary milk from her hands. Watch George Galloway pretending to be a cat below: Jackie Stallone's shock entrance to the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2005 finished second, with 17% choosing her arrival as their most memorable moment.

We’ve been waiting all day and at 9.55pm this evening, this year’s first full length Big Brother promo aired on Channel 5.
It was like a who’s who of famous Bb faces from years gone by and we had quite a lot of fun spotting and naming some of our favourite (and also most annoying) housemates.
We have compiled most of them in a list below, though we know there are some names missing, so feel free to leave a comment below if you can identify any more.
The video starts out with Makosi on the phone and leads into various cast members dancing and miming to an adaptation of David Guetta’s popular dance track – When Love Takes Over renamed When Bruv Takes Over and at the end, as all the Bb stars gathered in what looked like a massive field, Marcus Bentley exclaimed:

Marcus Bentley has revealed that he has made the leap to Channel 5 and will continue to do all voice-over work on the new Big brother series.
The 43 year old broadcaster and voice-over artist has narrated the reality TV show ever since it started in 2000 and we had our suspicions that he would be following the format to Channel 5, when he announced that he was leaving Channel 4 last week.

Insiders have reported that Channel 5 bosses are wooing Wagner Carillho, trying to persuade him to join the Celebrity Big Brother lineup.
The reality TV show premières on it’s new home next month and the Brazilian singer caused such a massive reaction amongst viewers of The X Factor, when he competed on it last year, that producers are hoping he will bring the same spark to their series.
When Wagner was appearing on the ITV singing competition, he caused a furore and in the end was forced to move out of the contestant’s London home. He was relocated to a budget hotel because stars such as Matt Cardle and Cher Lloyd could no longer live with his argumentative ways. Celebritain report that Endemol bosses are hoping he will ‘annoy’ his new housemates as much as he did his old ones in 2010.
Can you imagine being locked in with him...

✒Monkey fought the jetlag in United Arab Emirates to listen to a carefully choreographed "in conversation with" between James Murdoch and Avatar director James Cameron last Tuesday at the Abu Dhabi Media Summit. It would be wrong, if not unfair, to say that Murdoch hasn't met a Cameron he didn't like, but certainly the two got on very well. Amazingly, the two agreed on the magnificence of 3D, with James Cameron obligingly saying "Sports is what's going to drive 3D into the home" and Murdoch arguing that "customers will not want big events that are not in 3D at some point in time in the future". What on earth, then, could be the point of such backslapping? Could it be to demonstrate that it isn't just sister Elisabeth who can get on with these creative types, one of the most frequent criticisms of the more cerebral James? Or would that be too cynical?...

Big Brother star Nadia Almada has apologised for trying to warn Josie Gibson off John James Parton.
When she re-entered the Bb house, on the first night of Ultimate Big Brother, Nadia told the BB11 winner:
‘I don’t think he likes you as much as you like him.’
‘His kisses don’t seem real, it’s as if he’s afraid of women. Maybe he was traumatised as a a child, I don’t know.’
The statement sowed seeds of doubt in Josie’s head and led to her walking out of the house and into John James arms just a few days later. In an interview with Now magazine (Nadia seems to be doing A Lot of interviews for a woman on the brink of suicide!) Nadia apologised for the comments saying:

A member of London band, The Ruskins, has reportedly been arrested after jumping the security barrier and trying to make it onto the Big brother stage last night.
As Vanessa Feltz conducted her exit interview with Davina McCall, a man dressed in red tried to make it up beside her, before being wrestled to the ground by security guards.
You can see the video of the incident here.
The stage invasion turned out to be a planned one. A message went out on the bands Twitter and Facebook pages on Monday saying:

Michelle Bass has become the fourth person to be evicted from the Ultimate Big Brother house. She received 39.3% of the total votes cast.
Michelle’s fiancée revealed earlier today that he couldn’t wait to see the BB5 star, because he has planned a surprise wedding for her later this month. So life isn’t all bad for the glamour model.
Unlike Makosi and Nadia who left last week, Michelle emerged to a cheering crowd, with barely a boo to be heard. In her exit interview with Davina McCall Michelle revealed that she wasn’t upset to be nominated and denied Ulrika Jonsson’s claims that she is ‘disingenuous’ ……. even though she didn’t know what it meant!

Channel 4 have just announced that Ubb housemates will be given a new task today.
Entitled ‘Flawed’, the housemates will be required to “create their own synchronized dance routine, inspired by dance act stars Flawless.
“They will become the dance act… Flawed!”
Members of Flawless will apparently “be on hand” to give the housemates a master class of their dance moves, as well as helping them to choreograph their routines…
The Flawless members will ask each housemate to audition in the task room to decide who will become the lead dancer.
In order to pass the task, the Ubb housemates must choreograph, practise and perform their routine in front of Flawless. If the dance group deems that the housemates have tried hard enough, they’ll pass the task.
If they do pass, they’ll be rewarded with a hamper of pampering products.

For this week’s shopping task, Housemates have been reliving significant moments from the past ten years of Big Brother. Starting yesterday, this has taken place over three days, culminating in a live performance of Pie Jesu by Michelle on the live show in front of tonight’s eviction crowd.
The results of this week’s Retrospective shopping task are as follows:
Housemates successfully ignored Makosi’s attempts to become the most annoying Housemate and therefore passed their secret mission.
Preston ate all of the liqueur chocolates without being sick and therefore passed his task.
Ulrika and Nick sung Endless Love, their performance received 49,795 hits. It failed to achieve more hits than Ulrika and Vern’s previous performance of 81,483 hits. Therefore they have failed their part of the task.
Victor, Nadia and Chantelle sang I Want It All. Victor failed to sing all the lyrics correctly and therefore they failed their part of the task.

Last night, the Tree of Temptation decided to have a little fun with Brian. Brian had one hour to get three Housemates to admit to him that they think they are the most famous person in the House.
He had to get the Housemates on their own so they’d make their confessions separately. Brian was not allowed to ask them directly but tease it out of them naturally. If he completed his secret mission Brian would win some cocktails.
Unfortunately for Brian, it appears the Housemates are a modest bunch. After much coaxing he failed to get any Housemate to admit they are the most famous in the house and so therefore failed his challenge. Brian will now face the wrath of the Tree.

The American rap star was called to the diary room this morning, after an explosive row with Nadia Almada. While he was gone, she packed all her belongings and vowed to leave the show if Coolio returned to the house.
Coolio left at 13:20 today and Big Brother broke the news to the housemates at 14:37. The Bb press office released a statement saying:
“In agreement with Big Brother it has been mutually decided that in the best interest of the house, that Coolio should leave.”
He may have been annoying but with no Coolio and no John McCririck, the house will certainly be a more boring place from here on in! Will you miss Coolio? Leave your comments below.

Blonde babe Michelle is remembered for ‘allegedly’ being the first housemate to have sex in Big Brother five, with her love-interest Stuart aka ‘Chicken Stu’. Michelle was determined to make Stu her man and became rather possessive of him until he succumbed to her feminine wiles.
She made her return to the show last night, along with fellow BB5 star Victor Ebuwa. They entered the secret bedsit and will spend the next few days playing pranks on the regular housemates, before hopefully joining the main house. On who she is hoping to spend time with when she gets there, Bass said:
“I do have a connection with Makosi on a spiritual, thoughtful level and I get on with Nikki quite well.”

John McCririck has become the first housemate to be evicted from the 'Ultimate Big Brother' house. The horseracing pundit - who had been begging the public to evict him ever since he entered the house on Tuesday (25.08.10) - refused to say goodbye to his fellow housemates as he prepared to face the crowds last night. Facing a mixture of boos and cheers, the eccentric 72-year-old star seemed delighted to be leaving the hit Channel 4 show after carrying around a sign reading 'Evict Me Please' for the majority of his stay. He said: ''Thank you Britain, I love you all.'' However, while speaking to ..

Michelle Bass has admitted that she can’t watch her and Stuart’s love in without cringing.
Blonde babe Michelle is remembered for ‘allegedly’ being the first housemate to have sex in Big Brother five, with her love-interest Stuart aka ‘Chicken Stu’. Michelle was determined to make Stu her man and became rather possessive of him until he succumbed to her feminine wiles.
However, although she claims to have no regrets, Michelle does admit that when played footage of her and Stu’s night of love, she does get very embarrassed.
She said:
I don’t regret anything from last time but lets just say I can’t watch it without cringing! I was 23 and I felt like I liked a guy and I was trapped in that house so of course it all became about him, that’s a natural scenario for a young couple just started going out with each other.

Josie Gibson has revealed that she didn’t spend last night with John James Parton, despite leaving the Big Brother house to see him.
The Bristolian walked out of the Ultimate Big Brother house yesterday, after Nadia Almada and John McCririck spoke badly about John and made her doubt the sincerity of his feelings for her.
The bubbly blonde escaped through a fire exit and enjoyed an emotional reunion with her Australian hunk, however, she decided to take some time to herself last night and spent her first evening of freedom with her gal pals.
Josie admitted to The Mirror:
“My friend Janette came down so I spent the night with her. You want to spend the night together when you have a straight head.
“We need to speak properly when my head’s in a clearer place, I feel like I haven’t slept for four days! When I know you’ll know!

John McCririck has been evicted from Ultimate Big Brother. He received 50.6% of the total votes in one of the closest results ever and spent only 4 days in the Big Brother House.
John started the show on Tuesday, hoping that he would be evicted first. He took a hand made sign saying ‘Evict Me’ into the house and showed it to the cameras in the diary room during his first visit. The 70 year old even undertook a Tree Of Temptation task, after the chest of drawers threatened to make him immune from eviction tonight.
Coolio looked delighted to have survived the public vote and Davina looked elated that John actually spoke on his exit. He has been staging a silent protest for more than a day and threatening not to give an interview tonight, if he was voted off. In the end, he was too excited to be going home and forgot to stay quiet.
