Well, it's been ever such a dramatic final week for Celebrity Big Brother - and that's just outside the house! It's been positively civilised in there compared to the Cbbbots row, but we've still had fist-chewingly cringey moments and rows so loud we've had to buy ear protectors.
It all comes to an end tonight as Austin Armacost, Bobby Davro, James Hill, Natasha Hamilton, Sherrie Hewson and Stevi Ritchie and Chloe Jasmine battle it out to be named the latest CBB winner. So join us from 9pm as we bring you all the action...
22:44For now, though, we'll say goodnight and leave you be - but do leave your comments in the box below so we know how you're feeling about tonight's events! And be sure to stick with DS for more CBB news and reaction... Night night!

It's time to face the music. Possibly unable to bear saying "Cheryl Fernandez-Versini" one more time, Peter Dickson - the voice of X Factor itself - has announced that he's decided to "check out and cut loose". Oh well, at least we'll always have Rachel Adedeji.
But the paradox is that while Peter Dickson is irreplaceable, he must also be replaced. It's not going to be easy, but we've come up with a list of eight people who could possibly lend their voices to the tricky task of introducing various hopeful acts as they pursue their dreams on the biggest stage in Britain...
1. Marcus Bentley
The obvious choice. Marcus is best known for his dulcet Geordie tones on Big Brother, which have become increasingly exaggerated as time has gone by ("Toniiiiiiiiiiiiight," he yells, sounding like a gruff puppy whose tail has just been stomped on). He has voiceover experience, he...

Big Brother pulled out a great task last night - it was impossible not to snigger at the housemates screaming their heads off at everything from teddy bears to non-existent bumps in the night. And it was such a good one that it got us thinking about some of our other favourite challenges across Big Brother history.

Last week, Channel 5 put out a press release revealing in shocked tones that for the first time ever, the show's daytime repeat would be pulled because of an "explosive" row - which ended up being a quite unpleasant tiff between Danielle and Helen, but not anything we haven't seen before in that famous house.
But go back ten years today - yes, ten years - and you'd hit on Big Brother 5 in 2004. And in just a few hours, the return of two housemates from a secret bedsit would be about to spark one of the biggest confrontations we've ever seen on television. Live.
Fight Night became a moment of television history. Big Brother had already pushed the boundaries with its novel concept, 24-hour live streaming and mix of housemates, but it was on June 16, 2004 that things changed. Was this exploitation? Bad planning? Tasteless? Or was it fascinating? Compelling? Horrifying?...

Jon Clegg has been chosen as the Britain's Got Talent final wildcard act.
The impressionist was selected by judges Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon as the 11th act to fight for the grand prize on Saturday (June 7).
Clegg missed out on the final after losing the deadlock vote to illusionist Darcy Oake, with Walliams and Holden choosing to save him.
His impressions have included Celebrity Big Brother narrator Marcus Bentley, Paul O'Grady and David Beckham.
He said: "I'm on top of the world. I thought I was in with a chance but there were so many strong contenders. I thought Bailey had a good chance - he is hugely talented. Also Light Balance, Innova and Jodi.
"I'm actually working for the next few days but I'll be rehearsing to make sure I'm 100% ready. My dad is absolutely over the moon. He's so made up for me.

Because I was the last one in, I thought it was a joke and I'd been forgotten about and I wasn't going in."

When Channel Five successfully pitched to take the rights for Big Brother, we may have all been forgiven for feeling that the show was about to meet its perfect broadcasting partner, thanks to the newest terrestrial TV channel’s commitment to sensationalism and “freak-show” properties that were invariably presented as documentaries. Because let’s face it, despite starting off as a more intellectual endeavour – an experiment really – Big Brother at its end was little more than a zoo, poking fun at both the walking oddities who volunteered to enter the house and the audiences who sat and watched the live feed relentlessly.
It seems that Channel Five have been so far keen to trade off the former glories of the show, bringing in Marcus Bentley (the voice of Big Brother) for continuity, appointing Brian Dowling as the new host to recognise the new show’s heritage and debt to the...

Marcus Bentley has revealed that when Celebrity Big Brother launches on Channel 5 next week, it will be with a slightly new format.
The 43 year old actor, broadcaster and voice-over artist will provide the narration of the series for the 12th year running but has claimed that his role will be even bigger this time round.
After Channel 4 cancelled the show, the reality TV format was bought by Channel 5, who will host a celebrity version next week, followed by a full length normal series straight after.
Speaking about certain ‘tweaks’ the new bosses have made, Bentley told Bolton FM:
“They are going to be a bit of tweaking with the format.”
He added:
‘There is going to be bits of flashbacks and there is going to be a “yesterday, Nasty Nick went to the diary room and slagged everyone off” kind of thing…….It’s going to be different…… There...

Brian Dowling has revealed his nerves ahead of his debut as host of the new revamped Big Brother, to be shown on Channel 5.
The former trolley dolly who won Ultimate Big Brother last year, has told Star Magazine that it is nerve wracking to have to ‘follow in the footsteps’ of a star such as Davina McCall. He confessed:
“It was so hugely successful and I am following in the footsteps of an iconic presenter,”
“I think with everything there are pitfalls, but the show works, I have been on it before and the fact that it is moving to a different channel makes it easier.
“I’ve also presented live telly before, the only problem is viewers might go: “He’s s**t!”
Dowling admitted that when he was approached to take over hosting duties on the revamped reality TV series two weeks ago, he hesitated before accepting.

The recognisable Geordie tones of the 43 year old actor, from Stockton on Tees, have been heard narrating all eleven previous series of the reality TV show and now Bentley has revealed that he would be willing to follow the format on it’s move from Channel 4 to Five.
He tweeted to fans: “Nothing would put me off doing the show. All you need are great housemates and amazing tasks.”
Marcus went on to confess that he would be devastated if someone else took over his role.
