Housemates invited to Big Brother birthday party

Big Brother invited the housemates to celebrate his birthday with a children's party which included hats, sausages on sticks and a giant ball pool to play in.

Some of the housemates had been chosen to entertain the others and Carole Vincent made an impressive balloon modeller, expertly making sunglasses, flowers, a fireman's helmet and a sword.

There was a magic show from Liam McGough, helped by his glamorous assistant Chanelle Hayes, and clowns Charley Uchea and Tracey Barnard tried their best to make the partygoers laugh. Then Brian Belo provided some music with renditions of Barbie Girl and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

But if party guests Ziggy Lichman, Nicky Maxwell, Gerry Stergiopoulos and twins Amanda and Sam Marchant thought they were getting off lightly, they were wrong.

They were forced to stay at the birthday party until Big Brother said he'd had enough fun. If not, they would lose the chance for a luxury food budget budget and be forced to live on basic rations.

Initially they were enthusiastic and danced and sang along to the Black Lace hit Agadoo. The only complaint was from Ziggy who joined in but then grumbled: "I'm never gonna get a girlfriend after this."

But the novelty was beginning to wear off when Big Brother decided Agadoo was so much fun, guests should dance again and again and again...more than 20 times.

Nicky and Gerry are facing the eviction vote on Friday with Nicky hot favourite to go.
