Big Brother: Cheeky Russell Brand watches circus acrobat Emilia strike a bendy pose

Self-confessed sex addict Russell clearly enjoyed his position of power, and appeared to take advantage of it to put circus entertainer Emilia through her paces.

Brand directed 18-year-old circus acrobat Emilia strike a series of bendy poses - mainly upside down - while dressed only in a very brief bikini, while the presenter watched from the Big Brother control room.

Victor and Jeremy are set to face the public vote alongside beauty queen Jade. She told Jeremy: "You two are my boys, who am I going to cook for?"

He tried to cheer her up, saying: "Just put it in the bin straight away."

Emilia discussed with Jeremy the idea that housemates nominated him over jealousy towards his talent as a racing driver.

But modest Jeremy dismissed this saying people would vote out people they don't like.

He also predicted Jade will survive as, "there's nothing to dislike about Jade, there's more to dislike about me."

Before Russell finished his job of hijacking the Big Brother house he called the group to congregate on the sofas so he could wish them a proper farewell.

The shaggy-haired television presenter and comedian spent part of his time as Big Brother taking part in a hoax, convincing the housemates that an intruder had entered the building.

"I'm an emotional fellow," he said. "All be lovely to each other...perhaps one day you'll be able to use the experience and notoriety gained in here to change the world."
