House reunited but rows continue

Some viewers have complained that bringing Jade Goody and her family into the house has backfired - and ratings for the show have dropped by more than half since it began.

The launch show last Wednesday had an average of 7.1 million viewers - but this later fell to to 3.2 million.
The family's arrival caused two of the show's most interesting contestants - singer Donny Tourette and film-maker Ken Russell - to quit.
Tourette scaled the Big Brother fence in protest at being told to become Goody's "servant" for the latest task.
Russell walked out after also taking umbrage with the task, informing Goody she was "slightly demented".
The ratings hit a low of 2.8 million on Saturday.
Jade's mum Jackiey has managed to ruin a private reunion between Bollywood superstar Shilpa Shetty and ex-Steps star Ian "H" Watkins who snuggled up together in the garden after four days apart.
"It's nice to have peace and quiet," Ian said, burying his head in Shilpa's shoulder.
"I'm dreading Jackiey coming out. If she comes in this area, I am running away!" Shilpa said.
"I'm fascinated by her," Ian smiled.
The new friends then shared some precious moments - Ian sang songs from the stage and in return Shilpa sang to him in Hindi.
But their tender encounter was quickly shattered when Jackiey marched out of nowhere, ranting: "I'm right up to the elbow. I need food!"
