The Big Brother feud between Brian Belo and Helen Wood has been a major talking point since last night.
Brian accused Helen of "picking on" the nominated Chloe Wilburn, and angrily called the 2014 winner a "vile" bully in the Diary Room, while Helen said that she hated people who "f**king act the hero".

Big Brother's Biannca Lake returned to the house yesterday - and of course she did a bit of flashing.
Biannca - who notoriously showed off her assets when she left the house - re-entered with Mark Byron to advise the housemates on how to exit with style.
Waiting in the Diary Room before going into the main house, Biannca happily told Big Brother: "I've got my boobies ready and I'm ready to go."
She wasn't lying, either, flashing them as soon as she joined the rest of the housemates and later explaining her decision to give the eviction photographers something different to snap.
"I wanted to be in the paper the next day," she said. "Everyone remembers my boobs, they don't remember the next person who came out [after me]..."
So there you go.
Big Brother continues tonight (August 14) at 10pm on Channel 5.

Big Brother's decision to bring back six ex-housemates for yesterday's task had a big impact on the finalists.
Danielle McMahon, Zoe Birkett, Winston Showan, Steven Goode, Biannca Lake and Mark Byron all returned yesterday (August 13) to give the final six some tips on how to deal with the outside world.
However, Ash Harrison found the reunion difficult and later cried in the Diary Room as he admitted that he's missed having Winston and Steven in the house.
"I can't wait to see them again," he said. "It's not like I'm sad, it's just overwhelming... I just wanted to keep hugging them."
Meanwhile, Mark's return had a big impact on Christopher Hall as Pav Paul told him: "You really like him don't you... I don't think you realise how much you talk about him."
"I must do," Christopher replied. "I'll get over it."
The finalists later won a party for passing the task,...

Big Brother finalist Helen Wood has admitted that she is prepared for "the worst" when she leaves the house.
Speaking to Big Brother in the Diary Room yesterday (August 13), Helen explained that speaking to ex-housemates Biannca Lake and Mark Byron - who returned as part of yesterday's task - had helped her prepare for tomorrow's final.
"I can't plan anything in my head because it just won't even happen," she said. "I've prepared myself for the worst. I've been thinking about it for the last week.
"Now that I've actually done it and I've spoken to two people who, I think, got the worst reactions - they were the best two people to speak to. I think mine is probably going to be on the same scale, maybe worse, maybe not as bad... I don't know."

Six ex-housemates are returning to the Big Brother house today (August 13) - to help the finalists prepare for their return to the outside world.
Ahead of the final on Friday (August 15), remaining housemates Ash Harrison, Ashleigh Coyle, Chris Wright, Christopher Hall, Helen Wood and Pav Paul must try to learn important skills to win a party for themselves and their ex-housemates.
First up, Danielle McMahon and Zoe Birkett will be back to give the group some media training. The duo will give each housemate individual teaching, which they must put to good use when Big Brother hosts a press conference featuring questions from the public.
Biannca Lake and Mark Byron, meanwhile, will teach the finalists how to exit the house in style and have a "memorable winning attitude". After their tutorial, the housemates must each deliver a signature exit pose, react to boos, and show off their new good winning attitude.

The divide between housemates in the Big Brother house continues to grow.
In tonight's show (August 10), housemates discussed the impact of Winston Showan and Mark Byron leaving the house, with Ash Harrison suggesting that if "two others could have gone it [would] not be as bad", before adding: "No offence, Pav."
Ashleigh Coyle told Big Brother that she was "dead excited" to be in the final, and analysed the different groups in the house. She suggested that Pav has joined Ash and Helen's group and described the situation as being like "watching the new kid desperately trying to get in with the popular kids".
Ashleigh went on to say: "[Pav is] actually a really nice guy and easy to talk to… It cringes me out when I see him desperately want to be their friend."
Christopher Hall also spoke to Big Brother about the divide, saying that there "was hostility" yesterday, but...

Housemates have been reacting to last night's (August 8) eviction, when Mark Byron and Winston Showan left the Big Brother house.
In tonight's show, we saw the housemates look on as Mark left the house to a chorus of boos. As Winston's name was called out as the next evictee, they were shocked and surprised, with Helen Wood's first reaction being: "Is this a joke?"
She then noticed that because housemates were all laughing out of shock when Winston left, they didn't get to say goodbye properly. All the housemates decided that it was a fake eviction and that he was in a different room as the next Power Housemate.
Big Brother called Ash Harrison to the Diary Room to confirm that Winston was actually evicted, and neither him or Mark would be returning to the house. Helen comforted Ash by saying: "You'll see him in a week."
Still stunned by the night's events,...

Winston Showan has become the twelfth housemate to leave the Big Brother 2014 house.
The gym-addict bachelor was evicted shortly following Mark Byron after receiving the second-highest number of public votes.
The remaining housemates were shocked at the public's decision, and remained convinced that the Essex boy's exit was a ruse.
"Yeah, I'm a little bit shocked," Winston told host Emma Willis in his post-eviction interview.
"I'd have loved to have made the final, but that's just the way it is. If people want me out, I'd rather be out.
"I've made it 65 days," he added, "and when I first went in I thought I'd be out week four."
When asked why he felt the public wanted to send him home, Winston was at a loss.
"We broke out yesterday... but I don't think that's something people would have disliked," he shrugged.
Willis then brought up Ash, Mark and Chris' decision to take the money,...

Big Brother has delivered a stern punishment to all of the housemates after Helen Wood, Ash Harrison and Winston Showan broke out of the house.
The trio were talking in the garden last night (August 7) when they decided to disregard the rules and go behind the walls. Mark Byron chose not to follow them, but excitedly watched.
As a result, Big Brother punished the entire house, waking up and gathering everyone on the sofas early this morning.
The bedroom has become out-of-bounds, the hot water has been turned off and the kitchen has been stripped of all but the most basic rations.
Big Brother stated: "The regime will stay in place until Big Brother is satisfied that housemates have a clear understanding of the rules that govern the Big Brother house.

Big Brother housemates ended up in a major row yesterday (August 6) over trust issues after losing the 'Power of Money' task.
The latest task saw everyone individually entering the Diary Room and asked if they wanted to share or steal £15,500. Mark Byron, Chris Wright and Ash Harrison all chose to steal the cash for themselves.
In an all-or-nothing twist, Ashleigh Coyle was challenged by Big Brother to name the trio, with the promise of £25,000 being added to the prize fund if she was successful. She could only identify two of the three, incorrectly naming Pav Paul instead of Mark, which resulted in the house failing the task and winning no extra money.
Afterwards, Chris, Ash and Mark gave their reasons for choosing not to split the money, despite an agreement made beforehand between the housemates to share.
"I didn't think everyone would f**king split it," said Mark. "I know I would.

For the latest task, Big Brother gave housemates the chance to increase the prize fund by £25,000. On day one, they managed to accumulate £10,500.
The second day saw housemates add an additional £5,000.
Although Mark Byron missed the opportunity to win £1,500, failing to demonstrate his psychic abilities with a meerkat, everyone later worked together to successfully decipher a code and unlock a vault, bringing the cash total to £15,500.
The final part of the task involved each housemate individually entering the Diary Room and asked if they wanted to share or steal the money.
Chris Wright, Ash Harrison and Mark all chose to steal the cash for themselves.
However, the final housemate Ashleigh Coyle was told that she was voted by the public as the person with the best judge of character.
She then had to guess which three housemates decided not to share the money.

Helen Wood became furious at fellow Big Brother housemates Chris Wright and Ashleigh Coyle after eavesdropping on the pair of them talking about her yesterday night (August 5).
After an evening of drinking, an inebriated Chris told Helen that he considers her the "hottest housemate".
Recalling the exchange to Ashleigh, Chris said: "I don't give a f**k if she's the sexiest person. I'd still say she's the least appealing person."
Later, Helen overheard Ashleigh tell Chris in the kitchen: "You just got very passionate about Helen over the past 45 minutes."
"I'll tell you why that is," responded Chris. "Because she's pretty much everything that I hate."
Ashleigh said: "Yeah, me too. And I'm genuinely shocked at how much I like her."

However, Ashleigh told Pav that she found it difficult to nominate him, while Ash agreed, adding he was "desperate" not to put Pav up for eviction.
Helen then expressed her belief that none of the new housemates should win the £100,000 prize because "other people deserve it more".
Pav later told Big Brother: "It's not my fault I came in halfway through. It's not my fault that I didn't start when they did, and that's quite difficult to come to terms with."
Meanwhile, Christopher admitted to Ash that he considered nominating Mark "for a split second" because of his tantrums and...

The Big Brother housemates have passed their wildlife task.
In order to successfully complete the challenge, housemates had to replicate whatever behaviour was described by a wildlife commentator.
Actions performed by the housemates included Pav Paul eating the contents of the fridge and wiping yoghurt on his face, Mark Byron and Christopher Hall taking part in a 'mating ritual' and Winston Showan performing a toilet dance and a sex dance.
Chris Wright and Ashleigh Coyle took part in a number of actions, with Chris grooming Ashleigh by licking her ears. The pair then splashed each other at the 'watering hole' and rolled around the sofas to mark their territory.
Winston and Ash Harrison then competed against Mark and Christopher in a tribal dance, before the latter pair also retreated to the 'watering hole'.
The housemates were informed that they had passed the task, prompting them to dance in the garden in celebration.

Big Brother housemates Mark Byron and Christopher Hall fell out again yesterday (August 2).
The argument originated from a Big Brother task which demanded Helen, Winston and Mark to compete to become the 'strongest housemate'.
In the final part of the task, the rest of the housemates were asked a series of questions about the three competitiors. As a result, Christopher named Mark as the biggest game player, Helen as the most loyal and Winston as the most trustworthy.
Mark reacted badly to Christopher's answers, telling him: "You are closer to me than you are to Winston and Helen, so to call me a game player? What the f**k? You just think I'm an attractive game player.
"Why the f**k would you be close to someone who you think is a f**king game player?"
Christopher responded that Mark sometimes plays up to the camera and brought up...

Big Brother housemates Christopher Hall and Ashleigh Coyle fell out yesterday (July 30).
The duo were discussing this week's website shopping task when Christopher wondered: "What on earth else can they do to us?"
However, his comment rubbed Ashleigh up the wrong way as she suggested plenty could still happen to her, as she had not been "degraded" as much as some of the other housemates.
When Christopher asked what was wrong with her, Ashleigh replied that she was "f**king tired" and warned that she would "f**king hit the roof" if Christopher continued to make similar comments.
Christopher eventually told Ashleigh to stop being "ridiculous" and chose to leave, telling her to stop being "so immature".
Discussing the argument, Chris Wright suggested that Ashleigh needed to calm down, while Mark Byron admitted that he wanted to intervene but had been told to stop doing that by Christopher.

Christopher Hall has told Big Brother that he has doubts about his "friendship/relationship" with fellow housemate Mark Byron.
The journalist was speaking in the Diary Room the day after the pair had shared a kiss.
Explaining that he loves Mark's "melodramatic" character, Christopher added that he doesn't like him creating a scene in front of the other housemates.
"If you're trying to embarrass me or make a mockery out of me publicly, please don't do that because I won't hang around Mark," he declared.
When asked what he wants from the relationship, Christopher said he doesn't know where it is going as there are trust issues.
"If you're not prepared to show a bit of faith in me, I don't think it's going to work," he commented.
Prior to his conversation with Big Brother, Christopher had called Mark a "really good kisser", admitting to Ashleigh Coyle: "We had full-on snog underneath pillow mountain.

This week, Pav Paul, Zoe Birkett and Chris Wright all face being evicted during Friday's (August 1) show. But who voted for them?
In tonight's show, we see housemates make their nominations in the Diary Room, and there are a couple of odd reasons thrown into the mix.
First up was Ashleigh Coyle, who's immune from nominations herself. She voted for both Pav and Zoe to face the chop.
Also taking this decision were Christopher Hall and Winston Showan, who both nominated the two newbies.
Mark Byron also voted for Pav, but picked Chris as his second nomination.
Zoe decided on Chris as well for her first ever nomination session in the house, followed by Christopher. Her reason for nominating Christopher involved the fact that he never seems to wears shoes.
Ash Harrison used the same unusual reason to justify nominating Christopher, and gave Pav as his second vote.

The housemates took it in turns to get each other's hearts racing in the latest round of this week's shopping task.
The Red and Blue teams were given the challenge of individually staying calm while members from the opposing team tried to raise their heart rate.
As part of the Losers task, the one-on-one game was rigged in favour of the Red Team, but the housemates were left completely unaware.
First in the hot seat was Ashleigh Coyle of the Red Team, who faced Chris Wright, representing the Blue Team in the "scare" part of the task.
Chris attempted to frighten a blindfolded Ashleigh by getting progressively closer and closer to her face while her pulse was monitored.
The Red Team's Ash Harrison then tried to scare Steven Goode by screaming loudly. Steven's heart rate was shown to have increased more, meaning Ashleigh won the battle.

Previously, Ashleigh picked Chris Wright and Mark Byron to join her as a Power Trio, and they nominated Ash Harrison and Steven Goode for eviction, later adding Pavandeep Paul after hearing advice from their former housemates.
They then added Zoe Birkett into the mix, with Chris telling Mark that her popularity with the public means that she will be safe.
Ashleigh told Iris in the control room that she enjoyed being part of the Power Alliance because it was "fun", and when prompted revealed that Zoe was their fourth and final nomination.
She explained that her loyal friendship with Christopher Hall meant that they couldn't choose him, while Winston Showan was one of the only people who defended her during her issues with Helen Wood.

For the Personal Best task, the trio were each given a different activity to carry out - but what they didn't know is they would have to repeat the task twice, and they would have to do better the second time to pass.
Winston took part in the Hot Stuffing challenge - how many chillis could he eat in 60 seconds? He managed four on his first attempt, but bumped that up to five during the second round.
Elsewhere, Mark was lucky enough to face the Level Pegging task, and was told to put as many pegs on his face as possible. He managed 13 on his first attempt, but 20 on his second.
Finally, Helen faced the Balls Out challenge, in which she had to use her mouth to pull out balls...

Big Brother housemate Marlon Wallen apologised to the rest of the group yesterday for saving himself from eviction - but it seems that it wasn't enough for some of them.
Marlon ostracised many of his fellow housemates earlier this week when he chose to remove himself from the chopping block, failing the shopping task for the group in the process.
The shockwaves were still being felt in the house yesterday, as both Steven Goode and Mark Byron said they were "disappointed" and Ashleigh Coyle described the move as "selfish", admitting that if she was a viewer she would be "disgusted".
Meanwhile, Mark suggested that the situation would not be easily fixed, saying: "Other people in the house feel like they've been let down by their best mate."
Elsewhere, Chris Wright discussed the situation with Christopher Hall, saying: "I simply don't buy the, 'He's an evil, conniving bastard thing'... He's just a plonker.

The Big Brother housemates turned against Marlon Wallen when he saved himself from eviction yesterday.
The nominees were yesterday given the chance to avoid the public vote - but fail the shopping task for the group - by pressing a button within a minute countdown.
While Christopher Hall suggested that Ashleigh Coyle should press the button because she was booed last week, the general feeling seemed to be that no-one would save themselves - leaving the group shocked when Marlon saved himself after just two seconds.
Jale Karaturp claimed that she wasn't surprised by Marlon's decision, but added that she would rather face the public vote than save herself in that way.
Meanwhile, the rest of the housemates watched the decision from the sofas and Mark Byron dismissed it as "the coward's way" - before confronting Marlon when he returned to the house.
"You're safe this week, but I reckon you've f**ked yourself,...

Big Brother has coupled up the housemates for today's task.
The 12 remaining contestants found their partner for the day when they were given half of a heart-shaped coloured pendant; their other half had, er, the other half.
However, Big Brother has mixed up the house dynamics as Kimberly Kisselovich and Steven Goode are not paired with each other but with Marlon Wallen and Danielle McMahon respectively.
Close friends Helen Wood and Ash Harrison do get to work together, as do Jale Karaturp and Winston Showan, Ashleigh Coyle and Chris Wright, and Christopher Hall and Mark Byron.
The first part of today's task will see one member of each pair climbing into a giant tray to cover themselves in much paint as possible, before running over to their partner. They must transfer the paint onto their team mate without using their hands, and then their partner must cover their canvas in the paint.

Big Brother's power theme is continuing with this week's shopping task.
The new 'Battery Life' challenge has seen a huge battery installed in the house, and the group will have to stop it from being completely drained to pass.
The battery has started off with 100% power, but housemates may choose to drain some of the power in exchange for treats.
During the course of the two-day task, they will be given the opportunity to enter Big Brother's App Zone and give up some of the energy to use one of the Big Brother apps, which include messages from family and safety from nomination.
However, each app is worth a different amount of energy.
The housemates can also generate energy to top up the battery by sacrificing their belongings - but will they choose to give up their most important possessions, such as the money Mark Byron won on launch night?...

Housemates have been sent back to their childhood in the latest Big Brother task.
Mark Byron and Christopher Hall will see a series of photos of the other housemates as kids, and then have to guess who they are looking at.
After being called into the Diary Room, Mark and Christopher will look at pixellated pictures of a housemate when they were young, and must figure out who it is as the photo slowly gets clearer.
As they do this, the other housemates will be watching the two boys from the sofas.
If Mark and Christopher are successful in guessing the majority of pictures, they will earn a reward for the house - which is photographs of family and friends, and a hamper of sweet treats.
Digital Spy readers have picked Ash Harrison as the favourite for tonight's (July 4) eviction, with 64.8% of the vote.

Big Brother housemate Mark Byron has admitted that he is annoyed with the female housemates.
The women were given the chance to save three of the men from eviction this week, and ultimately opted for Steven Goode, Marlon Wallen and Chris Wright.
However, Mark has now admitted in the Diary Room that he is annoyed that the women assumed he would not be evicted.
"I was speaking to the girls last night and they said when they were making their decisions about who to save, when they said me, they just all laughed because they know I'd be going straight to the final," he said.
"Please don't tell me I'm going to the final in week three if you haven't got a f**king crystal ball. I just don't think they thought that through properly."
Mark, who claims to be psychic himself, added: "People just assume that I'm super confident...

Big Brother housemates Jale Karaturp and Chris Wright will be pitted against each other in today's part of the Assassins shopping task.
Yesterday, Jale, Ash Harrison and Steven Goode were secretly told that they would be assassins, while Winston Showan became a detective and was given the responsibility for figuring out who was behind a series of murders in the house.
Kimberly Kisselovich, Christopher Hall, Helen Wood and Marlon Wallen were all bumped off yesterday, while Mark Byron was slaughtered early this morning while the housemates were asleep; Ash poured blood over him but none of the others realised he was behind the attack.
However, Winston will later be invited for brunch in the task room with Jale, Chris and Matthew Davies.
When Winston is out of the room, Jale will pour blood over Matthew - killing him. When Winston comes back in, he must figure out whether Jale or...
