Brian accused Helen of "picking on" the nominated Chloe Wilburn, and angrily called the 2014 winner a "vile" bully in the Diary Room, while Helen said that she hated people who "f**king act the hero".

Big Brother has been ruled in breach of Ofcom guidelines, after the word 'piss' was broadcast multiple times in the course of one conversation.
Ofcom received three complaints when an episode of the most recent series of the Channel 5 show was broadcast at 12.15pm containing the offensive language.
The word and its variations were used 14 times in the space of 50 seconds, during a conversation between Chris, Ashleigh, Ash, Winston and Helen about Chris's behaviour.
Sentences such as, "You must have done something to piss her off" and, "Are you a piss-off merchant?" caused viewers to complain that the language was inappropriate for a pre-watershed broadcast.
Channel 5 responded by saying that it had removed a great deal of offensive language from the broadcast to ensure its suitability and that the word 'pissed' has been ruled by Ofcom as having "higher-to-medium acceptability in pre-watershed broadcasts".
It added that there had been...

Big Brother winner Helen Wood has defended herself against accusations of bullying.
Wood triumphed over fellow housemate Ashleigh Coyle in a closely-fought final on Friday (August 15).
Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Denise Welch criticised the result, writing on Twitter that she was both "appalled" and "upset" by the result.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Wood hit back at the former Loose Women panellist: "I shouldn't really respond to someone like Denise Welch when she's in her 50s and she goes on Big Brother, gets absolutely lashed and gets in hot tubs with teenage boys with her t*ts out."
Adding that Welch was "entitled to her opinion", she continued: "I'm not a bully, I'm hot headed and there's a big difference. People need to look up the definition to the word bully and I'm not it.

Big Brother housemate Ash Harrison has confirmed that he doesn't "fancy" his fellow contestant Helen Wood - describing her as a "knob".
The model made his comments during yesterday's task, which saw ex-housemates returning to give the finalists some advice about returning to the outside world.
During the media training session, Ash was asked if he fancied Helen and joked: "No... she's a knob! She's my best mate in the house and she's alright to look at, but she's a knobhead."
Returning housemate Zoe Birkett pointed out that his comments could result in a negative headline - which this very article proves.
Elsewhere, Helen apologised to Zoe for her behaviour after she was asked if there was anyone that she planned to say sorry to upon leaving the house.
However, she added: "Everyone else I genuinely probably didn't like and don't deserve an apology... Everyone else can get stuffed."

Big Brother's Helen Wood and Ashleigh Coyle made up last night (August 13) after a teary embrace.
The pair have struggled to get along in the house, and their feud intensified recently when Helen overheard some of Ashleigh's conversations in the secret room, following her fake eviction.
However, after an emotional day which saw all of the finalists briefly reunite with some of the ex-housemates, Helen wished Ashleigh "all the luck in the world" as they hugged two days before the final on Friday (August 15).
"I don't even care if people say they're doing [it because we] are leaving," Helen told Ashleigh. "No-one's in this situation outside of here.
"I owe you [an apology], and I'm sorry if I've ever upset you. You've upset me. You never meant it, I never meant it. We just clashed, and that's it."
"It would have been completely different if we were outside," commented Ashleigh. "We probably would...

Big Brother housemates Ashleigh Coyle and Helen Wood are still at odds after yet more drama in the compound.
Earlier this week, Helen and Chris Wright moved into a secret room where they could listen to their fellow housemates, but Helen was unhappy with what she overheard yesterday (August 12).
During a conversation with Christopher Hall, Ashleigh described Helen as "f**king nasty" - mentioning the moment earlier this series when Helen called Jale Karaturp a slug - and added that she has no respect for her.
Meanwhile, Christopher admitted that he is annoyed by Helen's "power" and suggested that Ashleigh was the only person who didn't obey her.
Chris, who admitted that he didn't like listening to the housemates' conversations and suggested that Helen would go off like a firework, later told Helen that he was choosing not to pay attention to the conversations. However, Helen admitted that she...

Six ex-housemates are returning to the Big Brother house today (August 13) - to help the finalists prepare for their return to the outside world.
Ahead of the final on Friday (August 15), remaining housemates Ash Harrison, Ashleigh Coyle, Chris Wright, Christopher Hall, Helen Wood and Pav Paul must try to learn important skills to win a party for themselves and their ex-housemates.
First up, Danielle McMahon and Zoe Birkett will be back to give the group some media training. The duo will give each housemate individual teaching, which they must put to good use when Big Brother hosts a press conference featuring questions from the public.
Biannca Lake and Mark Byron, meanwhile, will teach the finalists how to exit the house in style and have a "memorable winning attitude". After their tutorial, the housemates must each deliver a signature exit pose, react to boos, and show off their new good winning attitude.

Here at Digital Spy, we're lucky enough to get a batch of pictures from each night's episode pinged directly to our inboxes every day - and there always tend to be some amusing snaps in there. It's Big Brother - how could there not be?
But while we were perusing today's selection, for some reason they looked particularly silly. Is this how the housemates always look? Or have they finally cracked in the last week of the show? We'll present the evidence and - in those legendary Big Brother words - you decide...
Exhibit #1: Ashleigh is not happy.
Either she's furious about something or she's overdone it on the Tangfastics.
Exhibit #2: Ashleigh is baffled.
Er, what did you just say?
Exhibit #3: Chris is fed up of gritting his teeth.
"I do like you. I swear. Yes. Really. Now leave me alone please."
Exhibit #4: No, seriously, Chris is fed up.

Big Brother housemates Ashleigh Coyle and Pav Paul have become famous for today's task.
The duo were told earlier that they have been transformed into celebrities and will be treated like stars, beginning with new clothes for them both.
Ashleigh and Pav were also told to make outrageous demands of Ash Harrison and Christopher Hall, who have become their entourage.
So far, this largely seems to have consisted of making Ashleigh cups of tea while she waits for a tweet from P Diddy.
However, the duo will also face the darker side of celebrity as they will come up against the paparazzi.
Throughout the day, Big Brother will read headlines to the house, such as "X was spotted having a cat fight in the garden with the housemate they have the least in common with".
Ashleigh and Pav must pose in the location from the headline with the housemate that they think matches the description.

Big Brother housemates Helen Wood and Chris Wright were shockingly evicted last night - but they only got as far as a secret room.
The group was aghast when they were gathered on the sofa yesterday (August 11), and even more surprised when Emma Willis began speaking to them over the tannoy.
She announced that Helen was the 13th housemate to be evicted, leaving the Mancunian visibly upset.
Despite the fact that Helen was told to leave the house through the Diary Room, the housemates did not seem to realise that the eviction was fake and were all surprised by the dramatic turn of events - with Ashleigh Coyle offering to sort out Helen's suitcase for her as Christopher Hall repeated: "This can't be right."

Big Brother housemate Helen Wood delivered an expletive-filled rant in the Diary Room yesterday (August 10) following a contentious task.
Helen was found guilty in the court task of causing the divide in the house after she faced off against Ashleigh Coyle.
However, the verdict did not sit well with Helen, who paid a visit to the Diary Room to make her feelings known.
"I'm fed up of being made out to be the only bitch in the house," she complained. "How the f**k have I made a divide in the house?
"The only reason why I get mad is because I'm sick of granny-fied, boring bastards sitting in corners all over the house slagging everyone off. I'm f**king so pissed off that I constantly get slagged off for doing things in this house and she gets away with f**king murder."

Big Brother housemate Ashleigh Coyle was struggling with homesickness yesterday (August 10).
As the group come into the final week, both Christopher Hall and Chris Wright noted that the 18-year-old's homesickness has "stepped up a notch".
"There's nothing we can say anymore," Christopher mused, while Chris joked: "When I'm feeling s**tty, she's in a good mood, and when she's feeling s**tty, I'm in a good mood."
Ashleigh later opened up to Chris about her excitement about going home, saying: "I can't wait to get back to normality... To have my normal way of thinking again."
Chris agreed that none of his friends ever talk about themselves, as Ashleigh joked: "One more week of listening to the same s**t about themselves!"
However, Ashleigh's homesickness did not go unnoticed by the other housemates, as Helen Wood described her as "very boring" for an 18-year-old and added: "She's a very grumpy girl.

Big Brother's Ashleigh Coyle has expressed her gratitude for being put in the house.
With the series ending on Friday (August 15), Ashleigh became teary and told Christopher Hall that he and Chris Wright have been a "massive, massive part" of her experience.
"I wouldn't ask for it any other way," she said. "[I would never have been] as grateful to this experience and the people who put me in this house [without] the fact that I made you as friends."
Ashleigh then discussed Helen Wood, Ash Harrison and Pav Paul, saying that despite the divide, she would be delighted for them if one of the trio is crowned the winner.
"I still feel if there are three people who do misunderstand me, it's personally because I don't want anything bad to happen to them three," she explained.
"Because I know I don't have a chance in hell of winning the show, I want it to be you or Chris.

The housemate was found guilty of causing the divide yesterday (August 10), after facing off against Ashleigh Coyle in court.
Helen excused herself in the garden to go to the bathroom, but she began sobbing as soon as she closed the door.
Pav Paul followed to check up on her, asking what was wrong.
"[I feel] so f**king inadequate and just f**king stupid," Helen cried. "I'm used to feeling embarrassed about my behaviour all of the time, but not on this f**king kind of scale. I'm not used to it.
"Just because I swear and shout sometimes doesn't mean to say that I f**king like or want attention on me. That isn't the case... I feel like I've come across like that."

Big Brother's Helen Wood has been found guilty of causing the divide between the housemates.
The verdict was delivered by Judge Judi James yesterday (August 10), after both Helen and Ashleigh Coyle gave their arguments to the court.
Helen's lawyer Pav Paul told Ashleigh: "You started your journey as a very loveable, bubbly character and was perceived as the young innocent lady of the house. However, this doesn't seem to be the case.
"Your tendency to pounce in arguments only when you're backed up by your friends shows you're malicious, which consequently leaves a divide in the house every time."
Ashleigh's lawyer Christopher Hall countered: "Ashleigh has strove to make any amends with any housemates that she has had difficulty with.
"She has displayed determination to overcome problems and has put effort into building relationships with all housemates, in spite of the many nasty comments which have been directed at her.

In tonight's show (August 10), housemates discussed the impact of Winston Showan and Mark Byron leaving the house, with Ash Harrison suggesting that if "two others could have gone it [would] not be as bad", before adding: "No offence, Pav."
Ashleigh Coyle told Big Brother that she was "dead excited" to be in the final, and analysed the different groups in the house. She suggested that Pav has joined Ash and Helen's group and described the situation as being like "watching the new kid desperately trying to get in with the popular kids".
Ashleigh went on to say: "[Pav is] actually a really nice guy and easy to talk to… It cringes me out when I see him desperately want to be their friend."

Ashleigh Coyle and Helen Wood face judgement in the latest Big Brother task.
Both housemates will stand trial in front of Judge Judi James to determine who is the cause of the house being so divided.
Firstly, an introductory Vt will be played to the house showing Helen and Ashleigh talking about each other in the Diary Room, before each team gets a defence lawyer and prosecutor in the shape of the remaining housemates.
Ex-housemates will also be returning to the house to act as witnesses, and both sides will have time to find evidence and create questions for them before the court session begins.
After Ashleigh and Helen state their case with the help of their legal teams, Judge Judi James will then hold the ultimate power and decide who is to blame for the division.

In tonight's show (August 9), we see Big Brother gathering housemates on the sofas early in the morning before dishing out punishments. They are told that the bedroom will remain locked, there will be no hot water and all but basic rations have been removed from the kitchen until further notice.
While listening to their fate, Ash, Helen and Winston can be seen laughing, which leaves Ashleigh less than impressed that the rest of the house haven't received an apology from the others.
She then asks Helen to apologise, which Helen refuses to do on command and says she will in her own time. Helen then accuses the rest of the house for playing into Big Brother's hands, as she claims that Big Brother wants them to be annoyed with her,...

Big Brother housemates ended up in a major row yesterday (August 6) over trust issues after losing the 'Power of Money' task.
The latest task saw everyone individually entering the Diary Room and asked if they wanted to share or steal £15,500. Mark Byron, Chris Wright and Ash Harrison all chose to steal the cash for themselves.
In an all-or-nothing twist, Ashleigh Coyle was challenged by Big Brother to name the trio, with the promise of £25,000 being added to the prize fund if she was successful. She could only identify two of the three, incorrectly naming Pav Paul instead of Mark, which resulted in the house failing the task and winning no extra money.
Afterwards, Chris, Ash and Mark gave their reasons for choosing not to split the money, despite an agreement made beforehand between the housemates to share.
"I didn't think everyone would f**king split it," said Mark. "I know I would.

For the latest task, Big Brother gave housemates the chance to increase the prize fund by £25,000. On day one, they managed to accumulate £10,500.
The second day saw housemates add an additional £5,000.
Although Mark Byron missed the opportunity to win £1,500, failing to demonstrate his psychic abilities with a meerkat, everyone later worked together to successfully decipher a code and unlock a vault, bringing the cash total to £15,500.
The final part of the task involved each housemate individually entering the Diary Room and asked if they wanted to share or steal the money.

Helen Wood became furious at fellow Big Brother housemates Chris Wright and Ashleigh Coyle after eavesdropping on the pair of them talking about her yesterday night (August 5).
After an evening of drinking, an inebriated Chris told Helen that he considers her the "hottest housemate".
Recalling the exchange to Ashleigh, Chris said: "I don't give a f**k if she's the sexiest person. I'd still say she's the least appealing person."
Later, Helen overheard Ashleigh tell Chris in the kitchen: "You just got very passionate about Helen over the past 45 minutes."
"I'll tell you why that is," responded Chris. "Because she's pretty much everything that I hate."
Ashleigh said: "Yeah, me too. And I'm genuinely shocked at how much I like her."
Chris added: "That's why I get passionate to defend her, because I don't want to be a fool... She is your and my nightmare at school. I always look at her and go,...

Chris Wright has become the fifth Big Brother housemate up for Friday's (August 8) double eviction, following a twist.
Big Brother gathered the housemates together and presented three golden envelopes containing three different figures hidden inside - £1,000, £5,000 and £10,000. Ash Harrison, Ashleigh Coyle and Chris were asked to pick one each.
Pav Paul, Christopher Hall, Mark Byron and Winston Showan - already facing the public vote - had to then choose which of the three housemates should join them in being up for eviction.
Big Brother stated that whoever they selected, the figure inside their envelope would be added to the overall prize fund.
The nominated housemates agreed on Chris, who then opened his envelope to reveal that he was holding £10,000. As a result, the prize fund now stands at £110,000.
Big Brother continues tonight (August 5) at 10pm on Channel 5.

Pav Paul, Christopher Hall, Mark Byron and Winston Showan face the public vote after a round of face-to-face nominations.
Pav, who was nominated by every housemate, said that he feels "fine" as he was expecting it.
However, Ashleigh told Pav that she found it difficult to nominate him, while Ash agreed, adding he was "desperate" not to put Pav up for eviction.
Helen then expressed her belief that none of the new housemates should win the £100,000 prize because "other people deserve it more".
Pav later told Big Brother: "It's not my fault I came in halfway through. It's not my fault that I didn't start when they did, and that's quite difficult to come to terms with."
Meanwhile, Christopher admitted to Ash that he considered nominating Mark "for a split second" because of his tantrums and...

Actions performed by the housemates included Pav Paul eating the contents of the fridge and wiping yoghurt on his face, Mark Byron and Christopher Hall taking part in a 'mating ritual' and Winston Showan performing a toilet dance and a sex dance.
Chris Wright and Ashleigh Coyle took part in a number of actions, with Chris grooming Ashleigh by licking her ears. The pair then splashed each other at the 'watering hole' and rolled around the sofas to mark their territory.
Winston and Ash Harrison then competed against Mark and Christopher in a tribal dance, before the latter pair also retreated to the 'watering hole'.
The housemates were informed that they had passed the task, prompting them to dance in the garden in celebration.

Big Brother housemates Christopher Hall and Ashleigh Coyle fell out yesterday (July 30).
The duo were discussing this week's website shopping task when Christopher wondered: "What on earth else can they do to us?"
However, his comment rubbed Ashleigh up the wrong way as she suggested plenty could still happen to her, as she had not been "degraded" as much as some of the other housemates.
When Christopher asked what was wrong with her, Ashleigh replied that she was "f**king tired" and warned that she would "f**king hit the roof" if Christopher continued to make similar comments.
Christopher eventually told Ashleigh to stop being "ridiculous" and chose to leave, telling her to stop being "so immature".
Discussing the argument, Chris Wright suggested that Ashleigh needed to calm down, while Mark Byron admitted that he wanted to intervene but had been told to stop doing that by Christopher.
Instead, Mark...

Big Brother's Helen Wood admitted that she was unsure if Ash Harrison liked her, before the two were caught playing underneath their bed covers.
Helen had insisted to Zoe Birkett that Ash wasn't interested in her romantically, but Zoe said that Ash told her he didn't know how Helen felt.
Helen later chatted to Ashleigh about Ash and suggested that she may have "pissed him off" as Ash had "gone a bit more distant with me... even after we kiss, things have changed".
When Ashleigh told Helen that Ash had stronger feelings than her, Helen said that she and Ash were "chalk and cheese... I'd rather punch myself in my nose than explain how I feel in this house".
However, Helen did admit to liking Ash, but worried that Ash would simply walk away and say "see you later" when the series ends.
Later on in the bedroom, Helen...

Christopher Hall has told Big Brother that he has doubts about his "friendship/relationship" with fellow housemate Mark Byron.
The journalist was speaking in the Diary Room the day after the pair had shared a kiss.
Explaining that he loves Mark's "melodramatic" character, Christopher added that he doesn't like him creating a scene in front of the other housemates.
"If you're trying to embarrass me or make a mockery out of me publicly, please don't do that because I won't hang around Mark," he declared.
When asked what he wants from the relationship, Christopher said he doesn't know where it is going as there are trust issues.
"If you're not prepared to show a bit of faith in me, I don't think it's going to work," he commented.
Prior to his conversation with Big Brother, Christopher had called Mark a "really good kisser", admitting to Ashleigh Coyle: "We had full-on snog underneath pillow mountain.

This week, Pav Paul, Zoe Birkett and Chris Wright all face being evicted during Friday's (August 1) show. But who voted for them?
In tonight's show, we see housemates make their nominations in the Diary Room, and there are a couple of odd reasons thrown into the mix.
First up was Ashleigh Coyle, who's immune from nominations herself. She voted for both Pav and Zoe to face the chop.
Also taking this decision were Christopher Hall and Winston Showan, who both nominated the two newbies.
Mark Byron also voted for Pav, but picked Chris as his second nomination.
Zoe decided on Chris as well for her first ever nomination session in the house, followed by Christopher. Her reason for nominating Christopher involved the fact that he never seems to wears shoes.
Ash Harrison used the same unusual reason to justify nominating Christopher, and gave Pav as his second vote.

The public has decided which housemate to save from nominations this week.
Big Brother gathered the housemates earlier today (July 27) to tell them that Ashleigh Coyle has full immunity and is unable to be nominated.
Also safe from nominations is Helen Wood, with her pass allowing her straight through to the final.
When Ashleigh heard the news, she thanked the public before laughing that the other housemates will need to change their nominations as they can't vote for her.
She then speculated that the public's continued power will mean another housemate will be saved after nominations are made.
Ashleigh was afterwards sent to the diary room to make her nominations.
