Twin sisters Keavy and Edele Lynch shot to stardom in the late '90s after their Irish girl band B*witched gained fame with songs like "C'est la Vie," "Rollercoaster" and "To You I Belong." Guess what they look like now!

George Gilbey treated Edele Lynch to a family caravan holiday. The 'Gogglebox' actor had a ''little bit of a thing'' with the B*Witched singer when he was on 'Celebrity Big Brother' with her in 2014 and, although their relationship didn't work out, they have remained good friends since. He said: ''Edele and I had a little bit of a thing and we're good friends now. She came to visit once and we took her to this really nice caravan park. When we went to a ferryboat for some drinks, mum arranged for her to sing 'C'est La Vie' on karaoke. She didn't...

Stephanie Pratt has said that she's suffered "the worst betrayal" from her fellow Celebrity Big Brother housemates Edele Lynch and George Gilbey.

During Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side, host Rylan Clark noted that Pratt looked as if she was "chewing a wasp" when talk turned to Lynch and Gilbey kissing under the sheets during the live final.

The Made in Chelsea star said: "I'm obviously a very bad judge of character. Edele's my best friend and so is George...

"I'm embarrassed for Edele because she has kids and she's just separated," she went on to say.

Gilbey then defended his relationship with the B*Witched singer, and said that Pratt regarded him "as a brother".

Pratt responded: "I actually said I love you as a friend, you said 'I love you' and we'd see in five years. The night I left, you got into Edele's bed.

Gary Busey has been named the winner of Celebrity Big Brother.

Audley Harrison finished as runner-up in Friday night's reality show final, after the exits of Edele Lynch (6th), White Dee (5th), George Gilbey (4th) and James Jordan (3rd).

Speaking to Emma Willis after being crowned champion, Gary said: "It's a feeling of surprise and honour."

The Hollywood actor added that his win was "a tribute to my love of this country".

After being named the first ever American winner, he declared his love for Britain: "I am a Brit."

Gary "had no idea" what to expect from the house and revealed: "I'm a changed man."

The star went on to say the experience made him realise things about himself he wasn't previously aware of. "I didn't think I was selfish, I didn't think I was lazy," he admitted.

Gary added that his highlight of his time in the house was: "Taking my trousers off!

James Jordan has finished in third place in tonight's Celebrity Big Brother final.

Now, Audley Harrison and Gary Busey are left in the running to take home tonight's crown, following the exits of Edele Lynch, White Dee and George Gilbey.

Speaking to Emma Willis after his eviction, James said: "Out of the two people left, I want Audley to win."

He went on to admit: "I don't particularly like either of the two left in the house."

Talking about his reputation as a wind-up merchant, he said: "People just don't like my humour.

"If they're too serious that they can't take a bit of banter, a bit of humour, then that'd be their problem."

He also said he doesn't think he ever crossed the line.

James went on to say: "Ricci is one of the nicest people you will ever meet."

Talking about Audley, he said: "I'm not scared of him.

George Gilbey has finished in fourth place in the Celebrity Big Brother final.

After the exits of White Dee and Edele Lynch, the battle is now between James Jordan, Audley Harrison and Gary Busey.

Speaking to Emma Willis after his eviction, George said he was "overwhelmed" by his time in the house.

He said: "I can't even believe I was in the final. It was something that I never expected."

George carried on to say: "Edele is lovely. We'd been cuddle buddies for a little while.

"It was crazy. I didn't have any preconceptions, and I judged everyone on face value."

The Gogglebox star revealed that at times "you just forget the cameras are on you".

Talking about James, he said: "I think sometimes he'll stir a situation when it wasn't necessary."

He concluded by saying that he is rejuvenated after his Big Brother experience, adding: "I got my confidence back!

Edele Lynch and White Dee have left the Celebrity Big Brother house, finishing in sixth and fifth place respectively.

George Gilbey, Audley Harrison, James Jordan and Gary Busey are still in the running to take home tonight's crown.

Speaking to Emma Willis after their eviction, Edele said: "It's been so amazing to get to the final."

She went on to say: "I went in there so broken… and I expected to break completely", but added that White Dee and Ricci pulled her through.

Talking about her relationship with George, she said: "It was just a nice little kiss we had… It was enjoyable."

White Dee added of her experience: "It was definitely as terrifying as I thought it'd be and it's definitely more emotional than I thought it'd be."

Speaking about what is next for her, she said: "I'm a mum first and foremost, and then I'll give David Cameron a run for his money!

We've had arguments, we've had romances, and we've had Gary Busey's bits. Yep, it's been another action-packed series of Celebrity Big Brother, but we're all going to have to find social lives pretty soon because it comes to an end tonight!

It's anyone's game regarding the winner - even more so after that whole 'Helen winning Big Brother' debacle - and actually CBB's got a history of surprise victors (we're still smarting over Ulrika). So who'll take the crown tonight? Join us from 8pm when the show kicks off to find out...

22:40All of the other housemates join Gary on the stage to enjoy the fireworks. But that's it from them - and from us! Thanks for joining us - and make sure you keep making your feelings known in the comments... We'll see you back here in January, yeah?

22:39It's been a pretty good series when...

The Celebrity Big Brother housemates paid tribute to one another at their final supper last night.

Audley Harrison was the first to stand and told James Jordan that they have "battled" a lot - though now he has "come to respect" his rival.

"[I'm] still trying to understand you but I definitely think you've got a good heart in there," he continued. "A lot of what you do is tongue in cheek and you're an okay guy."

The next person to give a toast was White Dee, who chose to direct her comments towards Gary Busey - or, as she put it, "Big Man Mr Busey".

"I'd only ever seen you on the big screen, while watching my movies," She said. "Very starstruck when I came in. It's a pleasure to sit and talk to you and listen to you and learn from you. You're an absolute font of all knowledge.

Whatever George Gilbey puts in his aftershave, we want some.

The Gogglebox star is at it again, it seems, as he was seen getting extremely cosy under the sheets with Edele Lynch last night (September 11).

"You haven't over seasoned yourself," Edele cooed to George in reference to his mystery love potion.

"I have a little bit. Am I still smelling?" he asked. She replied: "Could be worse. I'm not choking."

The pair then enjoyed a kiss under the covers, as George joked: "We're behind the bike sheds!"

After Dee asked them to keep quiet, George responded: "Your favourite son is about to lose his virginity, you keep quiet!"

George has already enjoyed a mini-romance with Made in Chelsea star Stephanie Pratt during his time in the house.

Celebrity Big Brother concludes this evening (September 12) at 9pm on Channel 5, as George, Edele, Gary Busey, White Dee, James Jordan and Audley Harrison battle it out.

Celebrity Big Brother housemate Gary Busey upset some of the housemates yet again after last night's double eviction.

Ricci Guarnaccio and Lauren Goodger left the house yesterday (September 10) after receiving the fewest votes from the public, leaving some of the group surprised.

While White Dee was emotional that Ricci had gone, James Jordan confessed: "I'm shocked, because he's such a nice guy."

However, they were taken aback when Gary replied: "He got voted most boring... He's gone and the rest is history, let it go."

James complained about Gary's rudeness, and later with Dee they agreed that the actor has "no respect".

Meanwhile, Gary told Edele Lynch that he always knew he would be in the final because of what he's "been through", adding that the word "rude" stands for "riding upon defaming energy".

Earlier, he had also told Big Brother that he was confident that he would be...

Celebrity Big Brother comes to an end on Friday - but before we say goodbye to the house, we must pick a winner!

Who would you like to see triumph in Celebrity Big Brother 2014?

Want to see Audley Harrison king of the ring? Think Gary Busey's been the star of the show? Goggling over George Gilbey?

Giving White Dee the benefit of the doubt? Bewitched by Edele Lynch? Or has James Jordan put you in a spin?

Celebrity Big Brother contestant Gary Busey has rowed with an emotional Edele Lynch.

After housemates Edele and George Gilbey chatted loudly in the garden and James Jordan asked them to be quieter, Gary said: "That's their hobby, to be very loud."

Edele retorted: "Don't you dare brand me as rude," before explaining she was only talking to her friend.

She then apologised to Gary, and demanded that he return the favour, only for him to say: "I apologise… see ya."

Edele took off to the bedroom in tears, and talked to George, bemoaning Gary "think[ing] he's right all the f**king time".

Gary came onto the bedroom attempting to apologise, but Edele left him alone with George.

The Gogglebox star then said to Gary: "Sometimes I find you intolerable… you took it one step further."

All eight remaining celebrities - Ricci Guarnaccio, Gary, Edele, Audley Harrison, Lauren Goodger, George,...

Celebrity Big Brother housemate Lauren Goodger has apologised to Ricci Guarnaccio following their argument.

Ricci previously complained that he felt "used" by Lauren after she implied he was fake.

Lauren apologised to Ricci in the garden, saying: "I don't want to row with you, I'm sorry."

Ricci echoed the Towie star's sentiment, and the pair seem to have patched things up for the time being.

The rest of the housemates also discussed last night's arguments. While George Gilbey defended Lauren, stating he didn't like Ricci from the start, Edele Lynch said: "You know what Lauren's like when she's had a drink though... she has to say what she's feeling."

James Jordan suggested that Lauren is playing a game, saying: "She's definitely not the sharpest tool in the box, however she's very well media-trained... she knows how to create a story."

All eight remaining celebrities - Ricci, Gary Busey, Edele,...

Celebrity Big Brother housemate Ricci Guarnaccio complained that he felt "used" by Lauren Goodger yesterday (September 8).

The Geordie Shore star took offence in a conversation with Lauren, in which she explained that she would rather be alone than be in a group of fake people.

"I'd rather stand solo than be something I ain't," she added.

Ricci appeared to take the comment to heart, and later accused Lauren of suggesting that he was fake - prompting George Gilbey, Edele Lynch and James Jordan to leave the "deep" conversation.

While Edele suggested that both Lauren and Ricci were paranoid and having "a conversation about nothing", Lauren promised that Ricci would be her friend for life.

However, the argument continued into the garden, as Ricci admitted he was upset with Lauren for siding with Gary Busey instead of their friend White Dee.

Lauren responded by confessing that she doesn't always feel as...

Celebrity Big Brother housemates Gary Busey and White Dee made up yesterday (September 8) after an explosive row earlier this week.

The morning after the argument, there was still tension in the air as Edele Lynch suggested that the duo could "get to the point where they'll be civil".

Meanwhile, Audley Harrison spoke to Big Brother in the Diary Room and admitted that he was surprised there wasn't more empathy for Gary among the other housemates.

James Jordan, for instance, was still annoyed with Gary, telling Dee: "The Hollywood legend is a complete and utter arsehole."

Dee later went to the Diary Room to speak about Gary to Big Brother, complaining: "He has lied to me and called me a liar."

She added that she gave him the benefit of the doubt at first and her opinion has changed gradually, though she seemed to soften as she acknowledged: "He can be the nicest person ever.

Celebrity Big Brother housemates have learnt who is up for eviction on Wednesday's (September 10) live show.

All eight celebrities - Ricci Guarnaccio, Gary Busey, Edele Lynch, Audley Harrison, Lauren Goodger, George Gilbey, White Dee and James Jordan - have been nominated and will now face the public vote.

Each housemate was named at least once in the final round of nominations, Gary topping the votes with four and being branded "really, really rude".

Audley and James racked up three nominations each, while Lauren had two. The other housemates were named once.

In a conversation with Lauren, Gary likened the celebrities to "eight racing horses, nose-to-nose to the finish line".

Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight (September 9) at 9pm on Channel 5.

We see the housemates get a little taste of the nine-to-five lifestyle in tonight's Celebrity Big Brother.

In yesterday's (September 6) task, the celebrities had to work for Big Brother's call centre and deal with personal complaints from real members of the public, and it's pretty safe to say that not all of the complaints were taken well.

White Dee has to take a call from Gerry, and is told that she needs to smarten up as she looks like a mess. The caller elaborates that Dee's clothes "look like they're out of the pound shop" and that she needs to invest in a good bra "because they're on the knees".

Edele Lynch then speaks to a fan called Helen who says that she is just "moping around the house". Edele promises that she will try to be happier and more entertaining to watch.

Gary Busey is told he...

Lauren Goodger has come under fire in the Celebrity Big Brother house, after some housemates accused her of playing a game.

The murmurs in the house began during the call centre task, when the Towie star was accused of taking herself too seriously and having a "game plan", which Lauren denied.

After licking Ribena off Ricci Guarnaccio's arm later in the day, she tells her possible love interest that he's "got to man up" and stand up for himself, saying: "If I was married to you, I'd be the voice of the relationship. You've got to man up!"

James Jordan later advises Lauren to think about what she has been saying to people when she's been drinking, and tells her that she can do some "really s****y things".

Lauren responds that she has had to deal with a lot of problems in her life, and questions: "What have...

The Celebrity Big Brother housemates must listen to criticism from viewers in today's task.

In groups of four, the housemates worked a shift in the Big Brother call centre, dealing with tough questions from callers.

White Dee was criticised for sitting "with no make-up on" and looking "like you're chewing a wasp", while her caller told her to smile more and stop following Ricci Guarnaccio around the house. The Benefits Street star accepted the complaint and promised to "certainly try" to deal with the issues.

A fan of Audley Harrison's asked the boxing champion to be more entertaining, explaining that he needed to show his "wonderful personality" more. Audley impressed his caller by seeking guidance on how he could be more entertaining for viewers.

Edele Lynch's caller identified themselves as a "huge, huge fan", but called for a return of the "strong woman" she called her "idol".

Up next,...

B*Witched singer Edele Lynch has spoken out on her marriage troubles in the latest task on Celebrity Big Brother.

Edele visited Counsellor Gary Busey, as he opened the doors of his therapist room to the other housemates.

She tells him about the issues behind her separation from her husband of eight years Michael Barrett.

Gary tells her she is "living in the past" and challenges her on whether she still loves her ex, causing Edele to break down in tears.

She then admits their relationship wasn't making her happy and she is very "emotional right now".

Counsellor Gary then shows her an exercise to "pull the universe into her heart".

Watch Cousellor Gary Busey impart his wisdom to the rest of the housemates tonight (Saturday 6) on Channel 5 at 9:15pm.

Stephanie Pratt and Kellie Maloney were evicted from 'Celebrity Big Brother' in tonight's (05.09.14) double elimination. The former 'The Hills' star and the former boxing promoter, who were nominated alongside James Jordan, Gary Busey, Edele Lynch and Audley Harrison, became the fourth and fifth contestants to be booted off this year's Channel 5 series after losing the public vote. Stephanie, whose brother Spencer Pratt and sister-in-law Heidi Montag appeared on the show in January 2013, was the first housemate to leave and initially looked surprised to hear her name, but later admitted she was thrilled to be out. After being greeted by a...

Kellie Maloney has become the fifth person to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Her exit came as part of a double eviction, which saw Stephanie Pratt also voted off the Channel 5 series earlier tonight (September 5).

James Jordan, Gary Busey, Edele Lynch and Audley Harrison had also been on the block, but James and Gary were saved by the public from eviction earlier in the night.

"Get Kellie out" chants from the live crowd preceded host Emma Willis's eviction announcement, with the boxing promoter subsequently leaving to loud jeers.

During her exit interview, Maloney acknowledged that she had been profoundly changed by her experience in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

"I don't even remember going into the house - I went into the house drunk," she said. "I've come out very strong - and I've come out sober. It was like rehab."

The boxing manager added: "I've learned a lot about myself,...

Stephanie Pratt has become the fourth person to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Kellie Maloney, James Jordan, Gary Busey, Edele Lynch and Audley Harrison were all up for the public vote against Stephanie tonight (September 5).

James and Gary were both announced by host Emma Willis as being safe from eviction earlier in the episode.

One more housemate will be eliminated before the end of tonight's instalment as part of a double eviction.

Speaking to Willis following her eviction, Pratt admitted that she was taken by surprise leaving the house to cheers from the crowd.

"It was like walking into a party. I like being evicted," she joked.

Pratt was then asked to speculate on why the public did not vote to save her, despite the live crowd's positive reception.

"I'm sure it got really annoying to watch my germ problems. I would hate me," she said. "It...

Celebrity Big Brother housemate Gary Busey was the centre of yet more arguments yesterday (September 3).

The actor began the day well, telling Big Brother in the Diary Room that he felt "exceptional, wonderful, together, balanced, even" and that it is "wonderful to be where I am now, within myself of truth".

Gary even revealed that he wasn't concerned about being evicted, saying: "If I'm not evicted, it will just go on. And if I'm evicted, I won't really be evicted because my heart and soul will be in the Big Brother house. Big Brother will be in my heart forever and I'm just the messenger of hope, truth and love."

However, some of the housemates were talking less positively about Gary, as Kellie Maloney suggested that he was "playing" all of the housemates and noted: "Days before the eviction and when the cameras are on, he comes to life... he's a born actor.

Audley Harrison, Kellie Maloney, Edele Lynch, Stephanie Pratt, Gary Busey and James Jordan have been nominated for eviction from Celebrity Big Brother on Friday (September 5).

The six housemates will face the public vote, after the group took part in face-to-face nominations following last night's eviction.

Gary received the most nominations, picking up six in total, while Kellie followed with five. Edele had four, James and Audley had two, and Stephanie had one.

Edele did not seem to take the news well, noting incorrectly that she received the same number of nominations as Gary and joking: "I'm not cleaning any of your toilets anymore - you can clean up your own s**t, people!"

White Dee, who nominated Edele because she "needs to be with her kids", later apologised for throwing a vote her way.

Giving her a hug, Dee said: "It just came out wrong, and as a mum, I know myself.

Celebrity Big Brother housemate Lauren Goodger was accused of leading Ricci Guarnaccio on in the house yesterday (September 1).

The duo have had a confusing relationship so far this series, while Ricci expressed concerns earlier this week that Lauren is "playing games".

Lauren woke up yesterday feeling the effects of the night before - when she got drunk and exposed her breast in the pool - and Edele Lynch advised her that Ricci had been trying to look after her.

However, Lauren's drunken behaviour was the talk of the house as James Jordan revealed: "She tried to jump into bed with me last night in her G-string and I was f**king straight out of the door."

Gary Busey wanted to know if James had "had a chance with Lauren", but James told Lauren about her wardrobe malfunction as George Gilbey said: "Don't worry, Lauren, you've got lovely tits."

The...

Celebrity Big Brother housemate Edele became emotional yesterday (August 31) while discussing missing her family.

The B*Witched star ended up in tears after talking to Gary Busey about how the experience has changed how they will appreciate their loved ones.

"I already know how I'll feel when I leave, in terms of accepting life," Gary said. "[Before, I was] a goof, sitting on the couch watching TV."

As he explained that he wants to see his wife and children, Edele said she felt the same way and was looking forward to spending "quality time" with her family.

She began to cry as Gary suggested that tearing up is part of "letting go of those behaviour patterns".

"It's evolution of yourself," he added.

Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight (September 1) at 9pm on Channel 5.

Michelle Heaton has admitted that she is disappointed with this year's Celebrity Big Brother line-up.

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant also told The Mirror who her favourite contestants are so far.

She said: "I was a little disappointed with a few of the people, I won't say who, but I think they always get it right though, they know what they're doing, they're in for a reason."

When asked if she had an early favourite, she said she thought both Kellie Maloney and Stephanie Pratt were going to do well.

"And I love Edele [Lynch], she's a friend of mine so I think that she'll do really well hopefully," she added.

"And Claire, Claire King as well, I was on tour with her for a year on a play and she's a lovely woman. I think she will do really well but she's feisty, she'll speak her mind!"

The TV...

Celebrity Big Brother housemate James Jordan has admitted that he is not a fan of Frenchy.

After Frenchy saved herself from eviction and chose James to replace her, the former Strictly pro went to the Diary Room to complain to Big Brother.

"The games have begun now," he said.

James added that he is "gutted" to be facing eviction but vowed to take it on the chin if he leaves tomorrow (August 27).

However, he seemed to be angry with Frenchy, saying that it was "unfortunate" that she was in the position to pick someone to replace her and adding: "I can't stand her. I despise her as a human being."

James also later joined a conversation about Frenchy with David McIntosh and Edele Lynch, who suggested: "[Frenchy] knows she's a nutter."

Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight (August 26) at 10pm on Channel 5.

It's the day after Ricci Guarnaccio confessed his feelings to Lauren Goodger, and the Celebrity Big Brother house is full of chatter about the potential relationship.

In the garden, David McIntosh asks Ricci whether he would be as attracted to Lauren in the outside world, to which Ricci replies: "I really like her". David then advises Ricci to "take a step back", and not overwhelm her with his feelings.

Elsewhere in the house, Edele Lynch and Lauren discuss Ricci, with the former B*Witched singer telling Lauren that Ricci likes her "like that".

Despite feeling embarrassed, Lauren admits that it's "nice when someone likes you…it's quite cute".

Edele comments that it's hard to form a relationship when there's pressure involved and suggests they could get together over time.

As Lauren and Ricci continue their will they/won't they relationship, it seems they could have competition in the form of George Gilbey and Stephanie Pratt.

Fear is the name of the game in the latest Celebrity Big Brother task.

Housemates will come face to face with various phobias, but must resist pressing the panic button if they are to win the task.

What they don't know, however, is that the real task lies in the hands of Gary Busey, who must convince the others he has a huge phobia of balloons before entering a room full of them.

If housemates take pity on Gary and press the panic button on his behalf, the group will win a luxury shopping budget.

As part of the fake task, Stephanie Pratt will face the fear of smells (osmophobia) by entering a room with a perspex box full of smelly socks, raw fish, mouldy food and live flies.

Stephanie will need to move closer to the box and eventually end up inside it to pass the task.

Edele Lynch...

Celebrity Big Brother's Leslie Jordan has chosen to send fellow housemate David McIntosh to the Scrapheap.

Kellie Maloney, Angelique 'Frenchy' Morgan and Gary Busey were previously banished to the garden residence by 'Star of the Show' Leslie.

Edele Lynch, Claire King and David were forced to compete against one another in a talent competition judged by Leslie earlier today (August 23).

Edele sang the B*Witched hit 'C'est La Vie', Claire acted out Romeo and Juliet and David flexed his muscles, before Leslie made his decision.

"From the heart, Edele had at her disposal many, many years of doing this routine. David has at his disposal this… body," Leslie joked.

He continued: "Claire was at somewhat of a disadvantage… As an actor, I know what it's like to do a cold read in which there are no costumes, there are no lights [and] there's no anything! You're just up there naked.

Tonight's Celebrity Big Brother will see three housemates battle it out to avoid the Scrapheap.

Edele Lynch, Claire King and David McIntosh have been voted the least entertaining housemates so must put on a performance to prove they don't belong in the Scrapheap.

They will be given 30 minutes to prepare after which they will be called on stage one at a time to put their talents on show in front of the other housemates.

Edele will be singing 'C'est La Vie', Claire will be acting out a scene from Romeo and Juliet and David will be flexing his muscles.

Leslie Jordan, who was voted 'Star of the Show', will then be given the power to decide which one will join Angelique 'Frenchy' Morgan and Gary Busey in the grim Garden residence.

The pair have already been forced to change into jumpsuits and haven't had any access to their beds or suitcases.

The Celebrity Big Brother housemates were feeling nauseous as Gary Busey and Stephanie Pratt took part in their disgusting toothpaste shopping task yesterday.

Gary and Stephanie competed to be cast in CBB's 'Taste Away Toothpaste' advert, with the best audition to be selected by Celebrity Agents Leslie Jordan and Kellie Maloney.

The toothpaste promised to not only keep your teeth clean, but to make unpleasant foods taste pleasant.

Sadly for Gary and Stephanie, the toothpaste was actually wasabi paste, and the pair were then subjected to eating jellied eels and extra hot curry washed down with a white wine vinegar and fishy milkshake (Stephanie almost got her donkey balls).

Despite the fact that Stephanie was sick during the task, her audition was picked by Leslie and Kellie and will be made available to view on social media sites. If they accrue enough hits collectively, the housemates will pass their task and secure their shopping list.

Celebrity Big Brother's Leslie Jordan and Kellie Maloney have been recruited as Celebrity Agents for the latest task.

The pair have been tasked with casting their fellow housemates in various roles, with the rest of the house taking part in auditions.

Two celebrities will audition for each job, and then Leslie and Kellie must choose the best candidate to put forward.

All auditions will be made available to view on social media sites and if they accrue enough hits collectively, housemates will pass the task.

Today, Claire King and Frenchy will go up against each other as CGI actors, and will audition for a part in a Hollywood film. They will both wear a green motion capture suit and will have to follow directions.

White Dee and George Gilbey must try to find their hidden talents as they audition for a part in a new talent show, while James Jordan...

Lauren Goodger and Angelique 'Frenchy' Morgan disturbed fellow Celebrity Big Brother housemates as they attempted to sleep, cavorting around the bedroom after a drunken pool dip.

A bikini-clad Lauren looked as though she was attempting to balance a glass of water on her head after jumping into the pool with Parisian porn star Frenchy in the small hours of Thursday morning (August 21).

The pair decided to take the party into the bedroom where housemates were sleeping, and were soon joined by Geordie Shore's Ricci Guarnaccio.

Lauren was then seen shushing Frenchy as they sat in their swimwear on her bed - but seemingly to no avail, as it wasn't long before a fed-up Leslie Jordan read the misbehaving trio the riot act.

Addressing Frenchy, Leslie shouted: "Shut your mouth, it's my turn to talk. Ok? When you come through the [bedroom] door right here, you shut your trap, you be quiet.

Celebrity Big Brother housemate Gary Busey got on the wrong side of James Jordan yesterday after suggesting he is gay.

Gary started off the day well, telling Big Brother in the Diary Room that he is having the best time he's had in all his life.

"It's a unique and special place to be with 13 wonderful people with solid identities and big hearts," he said, explaining he wanted to give people a good feeling about themselves.

Gary also learned about black pudding - and asked what it would do to his genitalia - and amused himself by wearing a wig and asking if anyone had seen Gary.

However, signs of tension were visible as James told Big Brother that he believed people would get offended by Gary, even though he found him funny himself.

Later in the day, when Leslie Jordan put on some white surgical gloves to go through the 'Duchess's' suitcase,...

Celebrity Big Brother housemate Lauren Goodger was spotted engaging in some first night flirting yesterday.

The former Towie star began by getting to know Ricci Guarnaccio - and asked him to "feel" her bottom to see if it was wet.

The exchange caught the eye of the housemates, as Audley Harrison called across the room: "Find the bedroom!"

Meanwhile, Stephanie Pratt suggested that the group should put bets on how long it would be before Lauren and Ricci got together, while Edele Lynch said: "Lauren is quite flirtatious when she's drunk."

Lauren described David McIntosh as "hot", and also spent some time flirting with George Gilbey, asking him if she looked ugly.

After he told her that she never looks ugly, she sighed: "I want to be sober now".

"I want to be as drunk as you," George joked, prompting Lauren to laugh and give him a hug, adding: "I'm so glad you're here.

One of our favourite things about Celebrity Big Brother launch night is not just seeing which famous people will be going into the house - but which celebrities have turned up to support them! In fact, the housemates have it easy compared to their friends and family, who have to shiver their little behinds off and hang around with the baying mob in Borehamwood for hours on end.

Well, we thought we'd give them their due by rounding up the famous people we saw filling out the launch night crowd - here's who we spotted...

Ola Jordan off Strictly

It was kind of a given that Ola Jordan would show up to cheer her husband James Jordan into the house. Mind you, she might wish she hadn't bothered after he said he basically got married to avoid cooking.

Linda & Pete off Gogglebox

We love Linda and Pete! They were there...

Celebrity Big Brother kicked off last night and was typically bonkers. Well, we wouldn't have it any other way, really, would we? The 14 famous faces that made their way into the house may have varying levels of, er, fame, but they also seem likely to keep us very entertained indeed over the next four weeks. Bring it on!

It's probably too early to really have any firm opinions about the newbies, but you can't help but have a first impression on night one, can you? So here is our ranking of the housemates from worst to best so far, which we reserve the right to change in, like, an hour...

14. Ricci Guarnaccio

Hard to be both offensive and boring in one fell swoop. Ricci seems to manage it.

13. Lauren Goodger

Oh goodie, another Towie girl. Loses points for the outfit, but at least she seems nice enough. So far.

12. James Jordan

For one thing,...

Celebrity Big Brother kicked off on Channel 5 last night, with faded famous faces such as former Hollywood actor Gary Busey and B*Witched's Edele Lynch entering the famous Elstree house.

Other celebrity housemates unveiled included Kelly Brook's Gladiators fiancé David McIntosh, The Hills and Made in Chelsea guest star Stephanie Pratt, and Parisian reality personality Angelique 'Frenchy' Morgan.

So imagine our shock and awe upon discovering that Busey and Frenchy were once a couple!

The pair met when Busey was taking part in VH1's Celebrity Rehab and Angelique was appearing on the network's Rock of Love 2.

The 70-year-old Point Break star took part in the second season of the reality TV show, which saw celebrities being treated for drug and alcohol addiction by Dr Drew Pinsky.

Busey, a recovering cocaine addict, took part on the show in 2008 along with former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler...

Celebrity Big Brother kicked off tonight (August 18) as 14 new housemates took up residence.

Benefits Street's White Dee, boxing legend Kellie Maloney and The Only Way Is Essex's Lauren Goodger were among the stars who entered the house.

Dee - real name Deirdre Kelly - was the first housemate to enter, and received a mixed reaction from the crowd. She was soon joined by former Strictly Come Dancing professional James Jordan, who cracked open the champagne soon after walking through the door.

Former Emmerdale star Claire King and Kelly Brook's fiancé David McIntosh followed, before Dee was called to the Diary Room by Big Brother.

She was informed that she had been selected for the first secret mission of the series, and would be transformed into the Duchess of Solihull. She must convince the final three housemates, all from the Us, that she is 21st in line to the throne.

We're not quite sure we're ready for this. We've only just recovered from Helen Wood's Big Brother win, but that's old news now - because 14 famous faces made their way into the Celebrity Big Brother house tonight! But who are they? Read on for everything you need to know about the bungalow's brand new residents...

Angelique 'Frenchy' Morgan

So who is she? Angelique is a model, exotic dancer and, er, 'adult film star'.

What do I need to know? Angelique is nicknamed Frenchy, presumably because she was raised in Paris. She's probably the star who'll get the most 'who?' comments, but if you want to know your stuff, she landed appearances on the Howard Stern Show after being on Playboy TV. Since then, she's been on reality shows Rock of Love, Charm School and I Love Money - oh, and some of you might be pretending you...

Ah. So here we are again.

The Big Brother house has been Hoovered, the Diary Room has had a lick of paint and Emma Willis has bought a new frock.

Tonight, a whole new bunch of desperate fame-hungry celebrities will be waving their way down the aisle and over to the slidey doors of doom as they enter this series of Celebrity Big Brother.

Paul Daniels? Maybe. White Dee? Possibly. Someone we've literally never heard of from a soap? Definitely.

Tune into Channel 5 from 9pm with Digital Spy, as we watch the CBB circus roll into town...

23:13Thanks for joining Digital Spy, and remember - don't have nightmares. G'night!

23:13So, did you recognise all of the housemates? Most of them? Three of them? None of them? We have to admit, it doesn't look great. But the main thing is, there's potential. And who knows what the next four weeks will hold.

Edele Lynch, Lauren Goodger, Stephanie Pratt and James Jordan are among those who entered the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house tonight (18.08.14). The B*Witched singer, the former 'Only Way is Essex' beauty, the outspoken American and the 'Strictly Come Dancing' professional have joined the line-up of stars taking part in the 14th series of the Channel 5 show. Ex-'Emmerdale' actress Claire King, Kelly Brook's fiancé David McIntosh, 'Benefit Street's White Dee and reality TV star Ricci Guarnaccio also entered the famous house after being greeted by host Emma Willis earlier this evening at the live launch. While, boxing promoter Kellie Maloney, 'Googlebox's...

5ive, Atomic Kitten, B*Witched, Liberty X, 911 and Honeyz have been confirmed for The Big Reunion arena tour.

The announcement follows the popularity of ITV2 series The Big Reunion, which has just shown its second episode.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, February 15 at 9am and are priced at £30 and £35/£32.50 for London.

"The Big Reunion follows their every step, as their worlds are turned upside down after years away from the spotlight," promoters Live Nation said of the show.

"For some it's the chance to relive their dream, for others it may open old wounds as they prepare to face demons they thought they had buried forever."

They added: "Each band will have just two weeks of intense rehearsals before they step back onto the stage to perform once again in front of thousands of fans at London's Hammersmith Apollo, tickets for which sold out almost as soon as they went on sale.

B*Witched had to hold ''emotional clear the air'' talks before reforming for 'The Big Reunion'. The 'C'est La Vie' hitmakers - who are made up of Lindsay Armaou, Sinead O'Carroll and sisters Keavy and Edele Lynch - admit their come back for the ITV2 show has been ''very dramatic'', but they now feel ''more together as a band''. Edele said: ''Before we started we got together all on camera and cleared lots of air. It's very dramatic and there's lots of emotions. It's been huge.'' Keavy added: ''But I feel more together as a band now than we did at...
