Chanelle Dumped?

Day 23, 19:01

Chanelle hath no fury...

Is it all over for Ziggy and Chanelle?

Ziggy spoke with Chanelle about the Billi situation this evening and appeared to be breaking up with her.

"I don't feel comfortable," he told her. "I've also felt that maybe I'm holding you back."Chanelle listened to him.

"Do we just not speak to each other anymore?" she finally asked.

"I'm not prepared to do that. I'm not prepared to be like an 18-year-old in something," he said of the potential love triangle. "I really do like you. I really, really like you. This situation wouldn't be nice. I don't know how you feel about me, I really don't."

Chanelle didn't give him an answer.

"What do you have to say?" he asked.

"Nothing I can say to that is there?" she replied.

Ziggy continued to explain that the Billi situation was problem: "It's in my mind and it's getting to me."

"You seem to be fine with Billi," said Chanelle. "Now you're saying this to me. I don't feel like I can talk to him that much now."

Which probably wasn't the response Ziggy was looking for.

"That's the thing," he said. "Now you can."

Ziggy told Chanelle that other housemates were mentioning the Billi situation.

"Yeah," insisted Chanelle, "but we haven't done anything wrong."

"I don't wanna get involved in games," explained Ziggy.

"You're in the middle of a game show," countered Chanelle.

"It's a tricky situation," Ziggy said.

Is it the end of the road for Chiggy?

Crisis

Day 23, 18:57

Find out about this Big Brother Charity.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Crisis, the national charity for single homeless people. The Charity was borne out of concern about the way single homeless people were all too often left with no protection or support. A few years later, the first Crisis Open Christmas was held. Since then, the work of Crisis has evolved to tackle the changing needs of homeless people across the UK. The Charity offers a selection of nationwide projects as well as a learning and activity centre at its headquarters in East London and will be opening its second Skylight Centre in Newcastle very soon.

Today Crisis focuses on helping "hidden homeless" people. The majority are single people who find themselves homeless as a result of unemployment, relationship breakdown, and for many women, domestic abuse. Crisis estimates that there are 400,000 hidden homeless in Britain who are compelled to live in hostels, bed and breakfasts or sleep on the floor of family and friends. Many are eager to get back to work, find a home of their own but they face many barriers that block the way back to an independent life.

To tackle these issues, Crisis has developed a range of innovative services, in addition to Crisis Open Christmas. These include SmartMove, a scheme that helps individuals access quality rented accommodation; Changing Lives, a financial award scheme to help people achieve their vocational calling and Crisis Skylight, a learning and activity centre that offers a range of free creative workshops and formalised qualification programmes.

Crisis is also pioneering a new model of housing in the UK called Urban Village. The new approach will provide high quality affordable homes for people on low incomes and people who are currently living in hostels together with a range of onsite services and facilities that residents and the wider community can enjoy. The first Urban Village is proposed for a site in Shoreditch, East London.

Billi Blows It

Day 23, 19:34

Chanelle confides in Sam and Billi makes his move...

Cheeky Billi blew his first big chance with Chanelle tonight.

Ziggy has made a point of not being anywhere near Chanelle since apparently ending their relationship.

Meanwhile Chanelle took Sam into the toilet whispering about Ziggy wanting to "drop it" and then went to help the twins wash clothes in the bathtub.

It wasn't long before Billi made his move.

"Where's your a*** today?" he asked as he joined them.

Chanelle and Billi had discussed her derriere when they showered together earlier.

"It looks saggy don't ya think?" she asked.

"I haven't seen it out," Billi rebutted.

"I never get my a*** out," she protested. "Do I always get my a*** out?"

"Yeah," he said. "You're the a*** out girl."

"I'm not!" Chanelle laughed with mock shock.

Despite being able to see them, Ziggy continued speaking with other housemates

"I'm so lazy. This House is killing me," Billi complained.

"It makes you right lethargic," agreed Chanelle.

"You know that word?" asked Billi in amazement.

"I do English for a degree," Chanelle retorted.

"I... I... I..." spluttered Billi, "I'm so proud."

Chanelle walked away, unimpressed.

Billi-Chanelle Shower

Day 23, 13:40

Chanelle and Billi get semi-naked in the shower...

Things got hot and steamy with Billi and Chanelle this afternoon when the two got semi-naked in the shower.

The flirtation started slightly earlier in the bedroom as the wannabe WAG asked the model for some sartorial help.

"What should I wear today?" she frowned.

Billi had a great idea. "Why don't you go for the a*** out look? You haven't done that one yet," he deadpanned.

Chanelle laughed. "Seriously Billi, you just wait till you're asleep."

"What, are you going to come into my bed?" he joked.

"I can't believe you tried to put my hand in a bowl of cold water!" an outraged Chanelle squealed, referring to an earlier prank.

But the watery theme changed from hi-jinx to something slightly more steamy as Chanelle joined Billi in the shower fifteen minutes later, smiling and chatting as they washed their hair. And the model's eyes were fixed firmly on the lass as she tugged her clothes back on.

What will happen when Ziggy finds out?

Ziggy's Love Doubts

Day 23, 17:14

Ziggy has a very candid conversation about his feelings for Chanelle...

Ziggy is having doubts about his relationship with Chanelle.

Sitting by the pool, Ziggy confided in Seny and Liam about whether or not Billi was a rival for Chanelle's affections.

"Everybody who's gonna come in here is gonna say she's a bonny lookin' lass," said Liam.

"She's a good girl," agreed Ziggy.

"So is Billi saying she's a bonny lass?" Liam pondered, "Or is he saying he actually fancies her?"

"You think about it," said Ziggy, speaking of himself, "and you're not threatened by someone else. It's the just the hassle. I don't know if I can be a**ed with it."

"Could you trade her in for a new model?" wondered Seny.

"I'm thinking, do I need it?" Ziggy said, ignoring Seny's idea. "Should I cut it now?"

"Thinking long-term in the House," Seany asked, "do you see yourself with her?"

"I'd like to, but..." Ziggy said trailing off. "She's very cool but she's also very young."

"Is Billi her type?" worried Liam.

"It's not about Billi," reasoned Ziggy. "It's about the person I'm with."

"If you don't feel it's right, be very diplomatic about it," suggested Seny. "Keep a good friendship in the House."

"My other worry is people will turn on me," Ziggy replied.

Chanelle then came out into the garden.

"Do you want a hot chocolate anybody?" she asked, oblivious to the conversation she had interrupted.

Nobody did. Then Liam changed his mind.

Will Ziggy change his?

Zig's Billi Threat Pt1

Day 23, 10:31

Ziggy and Carole aren't Billi's biggest fans...

Ziggy's been getting heated about Billi's newfound closeness with Chanelle - and today the blond had a cryptic conversation with Carole about the model, before revealing all in the Diary Room.

"I'm wary of one of the new boys," the hunk told the 53-year-old, naming no names.

"Oh yes, so am I," she agreed.

"I've said things to him which have seemed to get round to everyone," Ziggy continued. "I think what he's doing is dangerous. I'm quite wary of him because wherever I look he's there. Constantly, constantly, constantly!"

"People have noticed that," Carole nodded.

"Then he's wanting to take me to the side and have a chat with me," Ziggy explained. "If he thinks I'm stupid... well, I'd hate to think that."

"That's one of the things that made me feel even more upset yesterday," Carole agreed. "I wanted to say something to him or Chanelle."

"I would appreciate someone doing it," Ziggy told her in a low voice. "He's been making comments which would make us argue. I've walked away. I'm a bit older and I don't want to get myself involved in such petty s**t."

"She needs to make sure she has her allegiances where she truly wants them to be," Carole commented.

Ziggy walked away, breathing heavily and looking frustrated, then entered the Diary Room. "I want to talk about the situation with young Master Billi," the heartthrob announced.

What else did he say? Make sure you check back to find out!

Zig's Billi Threat Pt2

Day 23, 11:08

New housemate Billi is getting right up Ziggy's nose...

Ziggy spent a whole 25 minutes in the Diary Room today talking about Billi - and he wasn't exactly heaping compliments on the new boy.

"The four lads that came in..." the hunk began. "Liam's nice, Jonathan I get on with, Brian's sweet - but I was wary of Billi from the start. This kid's playing a dangerous game 'cause he's literally attached like chewing gum to all the girls. I didn't trust him from the start."

He paused for breath, then continued: "People are saying to me, 'Have you not noticed that wherever Chanelle goes, Billi's stuck to her a***?' At the start it didn't bother me... unlucky for him, I came first, but comments have been made to Chanelle..."

"I don't feel threatened by him at all, I really don't," the Zigster went on defensively. "I'm too old for this. I'm not quite sure whether he wants to try it on with her or just get make-up tips and maybe use her hair straighteners, but I'll figure it out."

"Can you elaborate on the comments that have been made to Chanelle?" Big Brother asked.

"Billi tells stories to the girls to make them feel sorry for him," Ziggy explained, "all about not being very good with girls and not being very confident, and he's not been out with many girls. And whereas a girl would probably find that sweet, I don't think guys are that nave. I feel secure with Chanelle, but if things change... I'd like to think there were other girls out there who would be interested in having a relationship with me."

Form an orderly queue, ladies!

Shabnam's Diary - Pt 1

Day 20, 20:27

Shabnam gets down and dirty on a farm...

We'll be getting an exclusive catch-up with Shabnam every day to find out what she's been up to and how the 'wicked' whirlwind is coping with the attention.

In our first instalment find out what the make-up mad, self-confessed 'princess' got up to down on the farm. Shamone.

Sunday

The weekend was madness, madness. Oh my God!

Sunday I did BBLB and I went up to a farm to milk a goat, they thought on the show that my career path was to be a farmer, it was a joke and I think it was really, really funny. So I went on to this farm to milk a goat and clean pig poo, and also to groom a horse and clean the back of the horse's shoe. I was a natural. I got back pretty late and I had to go to bed early, because I had more interviews and meetings today. I've been trying to spend as much time as possible with my mum and friends too.

Monday

Today I had interviews, interviews and more interviews. Out and about when people recognise me they've been taking out their phones to take pictures of me. It's mad. Three girls on the farm looked at me and their mouths dropped.. they were like (gasps) and I am so not used to that and I so want to go to town and buy myself a cap or something. I want to buy the cap that Charley had on the show, so I'm wanting to do that and I'm really excited about going out somewhere busy, but I haven't had a chance to do it yet. The prospect of being recognised is wicked, wicked. I'm excited by that.

Shabnam's Diary - Pt 2

Day 21, 21:00

Three days into her post-Big Brother life and Shabnam's still very, very excited...

Tuesday

Today I've done a photo shoot for a lads' mag, which was fantastic and a lot of fun. I'm really energised and I'm very, very excited to be doing all of this. I'm taking a relaxed attitude and going with the flow. I did BBLB today and then I'm going to do Big Brother's Big Mouth... which will be the icing on the cake for today really.

I love Big Brother's Little Brother. It was wicked. Fantastic. Fun, totally. Lively. Energetic. It's cosy. The audience are really nice. Dermot's lovely. It just reminds me of everything to do with Big Brother, like talking about housemates, talking about myself again in the House. Sometimes I cringe, not so much at what I say or my behaviour but sometimes when I see myself I'm like, "Oh God!". Other times I just find myself funny. I wanna watch again just to learn a bit more about myself. It's surreal. It's bizarre. It's really bizarre. I can't describe what being in there is like.

If I had to go back in there I would. Only because Billi and Brian were saying, "Get Shabs back in here! Get Shabs back in here!" That was really nice to see.
