King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince William attended an event at Edinburgh Castle for the 900th anniversary of the city of Edinburgh.

Charles And Camilla Each Enjoyed A “Dram” Of 52 -Year- Old Whiskey

King Charles and Queen Camilla were treated to a ceremonial greeting before they entered the Castle.

Charles and Camilla received an official welcome to Edinburgh Castle, as artists presented a Bollywood-style dance for them. It was very authentic, as a group of Scottish women with an Asian heritage danced to bagpipe music. Visitors heard King Charles say, “I liked the bagpipes.”

Charles spoke with dancer Eshita Danouri and exclaimed, “This is our way of paying homage to our roots and recognizing our Scottish heritage.”

The City of Edinburgh played a piece written for the King, “King Charles III Welcome To Edinburgh Castle,” as he and Camilla rode up the hill to Crown Square.

Charles and Camilla were...

The full programme announced includes 24 feature films, five retrospective titles, and a five pic short film programme. Five feature films will be presented as World Premieres, including the opening film Silent Roar. The festival closes with British Iranian filmmaker Babak Jalali’s well-received Sundance pic Fremont.

“The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” and “Choose Irvine Welsh” are among the world premieres at the 2023 Edinburgh International Film Festival (Eiff), the full program for which was unveiled on Thursday.

As previously announced, “Silent Roar” and “Fremont” will bookend the festival, which includes 24 feature films, five retrospective titles, five short film programs and an outdoor screening weekend with seven features.

A hybrid adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s iconic novella “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” Hope Dickson Leach’s film transposes the action from London to Victorian Edinburgh. Ian Jefferies’ “Choose Irvine Welsh” is a documentary about the renowned “Trainspotting” author and features his admirers including Iggy Pop, Martin Compston, Danny Boyle, Bobbie Gillespie, Gail Porter, Rowetta and Andrew Macdonald.

Eddie Marsan has called out the friend of a college “bully” who tried to mock him on social media.

The London-born actor, who has been in the profession since the 1990s, has racked up an impressive string of credits throughout his career, including roles in Mission: Impossible III (2006), Mike Leigh film Happy-Go-Lucky (2008), Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes (2009) and The World’s End (2013), directed by Edgar Wright.

On Monday (3 April), Marsan, 54, spotted a mean-spirited post on Twitter reading: “Do you ever scroll through Netflix, when you think that you’ve found a film to watch, all of a sudden you scream “Eww! F*** that! It’s got Eddie Marsan in it!”? It keeps happening...”

In reply, one of the actor’s former fellow students at London College of Printing School of Media in Elephant and Castle wrote: “Many years ago my oppo was at the Print College @ the Elephant. Marsan came late...

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has received a letter signed by 50 of Britain’s biggest stars, including Dame Judi Dench, Brian May Cbe, Leona Lewis, Gary Lineker OBE, James Arthur, Thandie Newton OBE, Alesha Dixon, Ricky Gervais, Mollie King and Dame Twiggy Lawson, urging him to implement a UK ban on the sale of real animal fur.

Animal protection organisation Humane Society International/UK which leads the #FurFreeBritain campaign in collaboration with other animal charities, is hopeful that a 2021 ban is possible now that the Brexit transition is completed.

Fur farming was banned in Britain almost two decades ago in 2003 as it was deemed too cruel. But since then Britain has imported more than £800 million worth of fur from countries including Finland, China, France and Poland, where animals experience severe suffering and distress on fur farms. This is a double standard that needs to end.

The letter which is also signed by Amanda Holden,...

Ricky Gervais, Paloma Faith and Alesha Dixon are amongst celebs who have spoken out in support of Humane Society International's #FurFreeBritain campaign for a UK fur sales ban.

Alesha Dixon supports #FurFreeBritain

Posting pictures of themselves wearing #FurFreeBritain t-shirts on their social media channels, the stars asked their followers to support Hsi’s campaign to make the UK the first country in the world to ban the sale of animal fur.

Fearne Cotton, Kirsty Gallacher, Pete Wicks, Lucy Watson, Nicole Appleton, Evanna Lynch, Chris Packham, Gail Porter, Alexi Lumborski, Jasmine Harman and Sara Pascoe have also posted selfies in support of the campaign.

It's safe to say Chloe-Jasmine and Stevi Ritchie weren't the most popular celebrities in the Big Brother house.

The couple, who finished fifth in last night's final, revealed that former housemates Daniel Baldwin and Gail Porter gave them the cold shoulder at the wrap party.

Speaking to Digital Spy and others, Chloe-Jasmine said: "For some reason, Daniel Baldwin didn't speak to us yesterday. Maybe because we nominated him, and he took it rather personally.

"He completely blanked us. He tapped Stevi on the shoulder and said, 'Hi'. It was not welcoming. I don't think you should say hello in that way. He gave me a dirty look."

"Dan was okay to me," Stevi replied. "Gail wasn't that friendly."

Chloe added: "Gail didn't say hello to me. Maybe because I left bobby pins all over the floor, and it got stuck in Henry the Hoover."...

She may have been evicted from the Big Brother house last night (September 18), but Farrah Abraham is not letting that stop her from saying what's on her mind.

During last night's post-show breakdown on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side, it seemed the claws were out once again as Farrah and guest panellist Nicola McLean exchanged some choice words.

After showing an exclusive first-look clip of the house after Farrah's eviction, host Rylan Clark broached the topic of Jenna Jameson and who would be her new parter-in-crime, asking McLean if she thinks Jenna and Austin Armacost are the ones with their eyes on the prize now.

"Oh, 100 per cent," McLean shared. "I absolutely love Jenna, I really do. I flitted between a little bit, but I think now I've met Farrah, I do think it's Farrah's kind of influence on Jenna. I love Jenna, I think she's amazing and I love Austin too.

Could Chloe-Jasmine be the most hysterical Celebrity Big Brother housemate of all time?

So ridiculously over-the-top is her behaviour, that sometimes she looks as though she's acting in a one-woman Victorian melodrama. We've seen the star theatrically raise her arm to her head in despair, throw herself onto a piece of furniture and wail, and even ask Big Brother in a high-pitched voice of utter desperation: "What am I to do?!"

One thing's for sure - she's certainly the only contestant we've seen break down and bawl without releasing a single tear.

Here's Chloe-Jasmine's tears (or no tears) explained below:

"We want to do inappropriate things!"

Chloe-Jasmine was only in the house for three days before she started caterwauling about not being able to have sex with fiance Stevi Ritchie.

"It really hurts to just chop off this big segment of our relationship, which is so important to us - sex,...

And then there were nine.

Scoop and Gail Porter were evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house on Tuesday. Now, with the final not far away, we want to know who you're backing to be champion.

We're also asking for your thoughts on controversial housemate Farrah Abraham, and whether or not you think she deserves to be in the final.

Last time, you voted James Hill as your favourite with 20% of the vote, ahead of Natasha Hamilton (17%), Austin Armacost (17%) and Janice Dickinson (11%).

Jenna Jameson, Stevi Ritchie & Chloe-Jasmine and Sherrie Hewson came bottom with 3% each, but has that changed?...

If you were shocked by the Celebrity Big Brother double eviction, you're not alone.

In tonight's highlights (September 16), the remaining housemates are upset that Scoop and Gail Porter are now gone.

In particular, Chloe-Jasmine and Stevi Ritchie struggle to process the fact that they were saved.

"What are we doing here?" Chloe-Jasmine asks Big Brother. "There must have been a mistake with the voting and we demand a recount."

Stevi adds: "Absolutely shocking. Two fantastic, big personalities went and we are still here... I noticed that Austin wished everyone luck before the announcement but not us."

Numerous housemates - including Natasha Hamilton, Austin Armacost, James Hill, Jenna Jameson, Janice Dickinson and Bobby Davro - are saddened by the result.

"There's so much more than being tough that people don't see," Jenna reflects. "We bond.

"We start to really care about one another, and as it starts to get tougher, it's...

Celebrity Big Brother's Gail Porter has opened up about "great person" Austin Armacost, but criticised the "disgusting" Katie Hopkins.

The presenter, who was sent home in a double eviction on Tuesday night (September 15), spoke favourably about Austin after he decided to shave his hair off to support her in the house.

Celebrity Big Brother's Gail Porter wants to set something straight: "I'm not emotionally unstable"

Speaking to Digital Spy and others, Porter said: "Do you know what, I think Austin - I don't know how he's come across, because obviously I've not watched it, I've just come out of the house.

"But Austin is very, very stoic - he believes in what he believes in, he's a great person. He can go off limits sometimes and be very aggressive, but he doesn't do it in a bad way.

"When he said to me, 'I'll shave my hair off',...

Gail Porter's best friend tried to talk her out of appearing on 'Celebrity Big Brother' for three months. Alex Considine was concerned about how the 44-year-old presenter would cope within the highly-pressured environment, especially as she struggles with confrontation. Alex said: ''I thought she was bonkers [when she said she was going in]. I tried to talk her out of it for three months. ''I know Gail really well and when we found out it was going to be the Us vs UK, I thought, 'Oh God that's going to be really difficult' because she doesn't like confrontation.'' And Alex thinks her friend is...

You might think Gail Porter struggled a bit in the Celebrity Big Brother house, but she insists she's definitely "not emotionally unstable" and now feels "stronger than ever".

The presenter, who was sent home in a double eviction on Tuesday night (September 15), also said that her strong Scottish blood would never let her quit the Channel 5 reality series if things got tough.

Asked about Chris Ellison's admission that he was worried about Gail, she told Digital Spy and others: "Now, Chris and I had a massive talk, and Chris is a great person.

"I don't think he meant worried in the fact that he was worried that I was going to have a breakdown, I think he was worried about the fact that I missed home and I missed my friends and he was worried about the fact that I didn't join in with arguments because it's not my personality.

Fatman Scoop and Gail Porter have been evicted from 'Celebrity Big Brother'. The American hype man, 46, and the Scottish TV presenter, 44, became the third and fourth housemates to be booted off the reality TV show in a double elimination tonight (15.09.15) after receiving the fewest number of votes from the public. Fatman Scoop, whose real name is Isaac Freeman III, was disappointed that he was nominated for failing to bash Farrah Abraham and Jenna Jameson, and told host Emma Willis in his post eviction interview: ''For the record I just want to say one thing. I was put up for...

Fatman Scoop and Gail Porter have both been evicted from Celebrity Big Brother tonight (September 15).

They are the third and fourth respective housemates voted out of the house. Janice Dickinson and Stevi & Chloe all survived the double eviction.

As Scoop left the house, he ripped off his bright yellow T-shirt and walked down the stairs to meet Emma Willis.

Speaking about his Big Brother journey, he said: "I was put up because I refused to slag my friends - Jenna, Farrah - as part of the challenge. The way I look at everything, where I'm from, a man doesn't slag his friends and I stand by everything I did.

"I developed a great friendship with Farrah and Jenna in the house and with everybody. I don't talk behind people's backs - I say it to your face.

"I was there to stop the rows and that's not exciting television but hey,...

They've only just declared their love, and now Chloe Jasmine and Stevi Ritchie are having relationship issues in the Celebrity Big Brother house... again.

In highlights to be shown tonight (September 14), Chloe Jasmine questions Stevi about his recent behaviour and one massive relationship no-no: dodging physical contact.

"I don't understand why you would dodge my hugs," she says. "I felt really lonely, because we are lonely in here."

Earlier in the Diary Room, Chloe Jasmine expands on her problems and becomes teary when wondering why she isn't "jumping about and cracking jokes".

"It is a huge thing to go on something with your loved one because it can go either way," she continues. "I am just so worried about Steven. He wants to be alone at the moment, which I totally respect, but I feel a little bit redundant as a girlfriend."

Things aren't exactly looking up for the couple...

Celebrity Big Brother's Sherrie Hewson has won immunity after manipulating Farrah Abraham and Jenna Jameson.

Last Friday, Farrah and Jenna were given full responsibility of nominations - but were unaware that who they picked would actually be immune from tomorrow's eviction.

The other housemates were let in on the secret, and they have had opportunities to convince the fake evictees to 'nominate' them.

In highlights airing tonight (September 14), Sherrie takes advantage by calling Farrah a "dreadful human being" - knowing that Farrah herself is secretly watching.

When Bobby Davro says that maybe he was a little harsh on Farrah, Sherrie replies: "You only said what everyone was thinking, and that's the difference.

"You know she's rude. She talks behind people's backs, and the one thing I can't stand, if you can't say something to somebody's face then don't say it at all... She's a dreadful human being.

"When they were here,...

The Celebrity Big Brother housemates have taken on a 'Celebrity Show Offs' task.

Gail Porter presented the task, which saw the celebs attempt to impress the house by showing off their talents.

While housemates believed that the general public were voting on their performances, it was in fact Jenna Jameson and Farrah Abraham who were judging the task.

First up, Natasha Hamilton sings Atomic Kitten's hit 'Whole Again'.

Speaking about the performance, Jenna said, "She can sing…good thing she has some talent because her personality is f***ing s**t."

Next, James Hill gave a speech about his successful business career and Chloe-Jasmine and Stevi Ritchie united to sing the Dirty Dancing song 'Time of My Life'.

Speaking about the couple's performance, Jenna said: "This is actually really terrible… This is a train wreck... they need to be voted off just because of this."

Austin Armacost then walked a catwalk,...

Chloe-Jasmine and Stevi Ritchie seem to be back on track with their relationship in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

After some earlier problems, the pair seemed to realise how important they are to each other when they were forced to separate for a shopping task.

In highlights to be shown tonight (September 12), the pair declare their love for each other in the garden as they jointly face eviction.

Chloe-Jasmine tells him: "I couldn't dream up a better boyfriend." Awwwwwww.

Following news they had survived eviction and were staying in the house, Gail Porter talks to Stevi about his relationship with Chloe-Jasmine.

Gail reveals she finds her a bit annoying but can see she has "a heart of gold" with Stevi replying: "She is what she is."

One housemate who is tipping the couple for big things is Bobby Davro.

He tells the pair they could "win this" but he also...

Caprice believes 'Celebrity Big Brother's' Farrah Abraham is ''evil''. The former housemate on the Channel 5 reality TV show has blasted her fellow American and 'Teen Mom' star for the ''toxic'' behaviour she has displayed on the UK vs USA themed series, and wants the Brits - including Bobby Davro, Natasha Hamilton and Gail Porter - to fight back. Speaking from the National Lottery Awards 2015 at the London Studios on Friday night (11.09.15), Caprice told Bang Showbiz: ''I think she is evil. It's unbelievable. It's toxic. ''Sometime you just kind of got to put her (Farah) in her place.

Things are getting heated between Jenna Jameson and Natasha Hamilton in Celebrity Big Brother, with the Us former porn star calling the Atomic Kitten singer "the cancer of the house".

Jenna vents her frustrations on tonight's show (September 10) after the housemates answer questions about each other for a shopping task.

In case it wasn't obvious, Farrah is hated by her Celebrity Big Brother housemates

Speaking in the Diary Room, Jenna says: "I sit back and look and see Natasha giving Janice... rolling her eyes so far back in her head she can see her brain."

She added: "You know what, bitch, it is so evident how fake she is. I do not stand for that shit. I think it's ugly, I think it's embarrassing and I think it shows exactly what kind of person she is.

"You can kind of tell by her sour ass mug… the girl is not cool.

Tensions were high after the Celebrity Big Brother housemates were forced to do dreaded face-to-face nominations on tonight's show (September 9).

As a result, Bobby Davro, Gail Porter, Farrah Abraham, Jenna Jameson and Stevi Ritchie & Chloe Jasmine will all be facing Friday's fake double eviction.

As with all face-to-face nominations, there was some unpleasantness - this time in the form of a major row between Bobby and Farrah.

Bobby called Farrah one of the ugliest people he's ever had to spend time with, saying she was a "vile" human being, and no amount of make-up or lip gloss would be able to cover that ugliness.

Farrah, naturally, didn't take this well and called him "Satan" in retaliation. She also refused to relax even when Big Brother told her to sit down.

In a naughty twist, Friday's double eviction is a fake and the two housemates will be sent to a secret...

Chloe Jasmine was left in tears after Big Brother demanded that the housemates give up something dear to them in the latest shopping task.

In scenes that will likely air on tomorrow's highlights show, Big Brother announced that Team UK and Team USA will go head to head - with the winning team rewarded with luxury shopping.

The housemates must earn points by completing challenges, and one such challenge asked everyone to make a sacrifice.

While Jenna Jameson had to hand in her hair extensions and Gail Porter was forbidden from cleaning, Chloe Jasmine and Stevi were told to give up their love for each other.

Big Brother clarified that this meant they could not touch or talk to each other in an affectionate way, nor sleep in the same bed.

"With the exception of Gail, everyone has had to put something material into a box, and this is something so precious to me,...

Bobby Davro has branded Farrah Abraham the ''ugliest person'' he has ever met. During last night's (09.10.15) episode of 'Celebrity Big Brother' things got rather out of hand during the face-to-face nominations as the British comedian attacked the 'Teen Mom' star and told her he has never met someone who has so much ''vileness'' on the inside and out. In front of the other celebrities including Gail Porter and Chloe-Jasmine and Stevi Ritchie, he shouted: ''You are possibly one of the ugliest people I have ever had to have the misfortune of sharing my time with. No amount of lipgloss...

Chris Ellison may be happy now he's out of the Celebrity Big Brother house - but he thinks fellow nominee Gail Porter wanted to leave more.

Speaking to Digital Spy and others following his eviction, Chris opened up about Gail's difficulties in the house and said that he's genuinely worried for her wellbeing.

Celebrity Big Brother: Who is your favourite housemate, and are you Team UK or Team USA?

"Gail wanted to come out tonight - she'll be furious that I've gone," he said. "I mean, she really wants to come out, I know that. She's crying a lot, she's very emotionally upset, she's finding it very, very difficult.

"That's why she cleans all the time and that's why she does so much - she's trying to keep herself busy because she's very, very emotional. And finding it very difficult.

"And I'm very worried about Gail. I mean, she's got Natasha [Hamilton], who's her friend,...

Chris Ellison has been evicted from 'Celebrity Big Brother'. The 'Bill' actor was the second housemate to leave the show after receiving the least amount of public votes. Speaking to host Emma Willis after his exit, he said: ''I've just got fed up with it. It's just so mad in there; I thought I was losing my sanity. Crazy arguments and shouting and screaming, it got a bit boring. I wanted to do my best.'' The 68-year-old actor - who was nominated for eviction alongside Bobby Davro, Gail Porter and Stevi Ritchie and Chloe-Jasmine Whichello - also admitted the secret to avoiding a...

Chris Ellison has become the second housemate evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The Bill star finished at the bottom of the latest public vote against fellow contestant Bobby Davro, Gail Porter and the duo of Stevi Ritchie & Chloe-Jasmine.

Celebrity Big Brother: Who is your favourite housemate, and are you Team UK or Team USA?

Tila Tequila was ejected just one day into the competition over controversial social media posts, while Daniel Baldwin was evicted on day nine.

Judging by his post-eviction interview with Emma Willis, Chris's exit from Britain's most famous house came as a relief.

"I was slightly relieved. I got fed up and got so mad in there," he joked. "I thought I was losing my sanity some of the time.

"It was crazy arguments, just shouting and screaming. It got boring actually - it was very intense. It was just people talking very loudly.

Scoop's attempts at uniting his Celebrity Big Brother housemates with a speech didn't quite go to plan.

Following Farrah Abraham and Natasha Hamilton's major row the previous day, the American rapper found his presidency rather challenging - calling it "crappy".

But in tonight's highlights, he tries to turn it around by addressing the whole house.

"I just want to say one thing about the food in general," he says. "We are going to look f**king crazy if we are seen as arguing about food.

"There are people in India, in Africa, in my country and your country that are homeless right now, that one slice of bread would be the biggest shit that ever happened in three weeks.

"All I am saying is, we need to fall back on that. Because image is everything, and no matter what you say, we all have brands in here.

"I...

After a heated row over kosher wine, Jenna Jameson and Farrah Abraham have been moaning about their UK housemates in Celebrity Big Brother.

Natasha Hamilton was right in their firing line, with Farrah commenting that she is just crazy and kept saying "negative shit", while Jenna added that Natasha may have had too much to drink.

"That was just childhood elementary school bullshit," said Jenna. "I don't want any more god damn apologies to be honest. I'm just over it. I am over that fake bullshit."

But it wasn't just Natasha that annoyed the Americans, with Farrah stating that she'll never talk to Sherrie Hewson again after she kept "pushing me and pushing me".

Jenna continued to slate Natasha later on, this time to Fatman Scoop: "She was screaming profanity, she was calling her names and Farrah defended herself."

Showcasing his presidential side, Scoop responded that Natasha was just...

Scoop has admitted to Big Brother that he's finding life as president especially challenging.

The Celebrity Big Brother housemate's comments come the day after a major bust-up involving Farrah Abraham and Natasha Hamilton.

In highlights airing tonight (September 8), Scoop says he finds it "crappy" that he can't please everyone.

"It's amazing on the one hand, and it's crappy on the other," he says of the presidency. "I find it crappy in the sense that no matter what you do, no-one will be happy.

"I got it from Natasha for the fact that she felt that I didn't stand up for her. I got it from them because Jenna was like, 'Well, you let these people talk about me'. If I would have known it was this hard, I would have charged three times my fee."

But Scoop remains hopeful and believes he can turn it all around.

"The United States and the United Kingdom,...

Celebrity Big Brother's Gail Porter is up for eviction - and she doesn't take the news well.

In highlights airing tonight (September 7), the housemate is nominated along with Bobby Davro and Stevi Ritchie & Chloe Jasmine by the Americans.

Not long afterwards, she heads to the Diary Room to have a cry.

"I'm just missing everybody, and then I got nominated - so I'm feeling a bit shit," she says. "I think that people don't like me or I've done something wrong.

"I know it's all part of the game, but it's not very nice not to know what you've done wrong."

Meanwhile, Bobby and Fatman Scoop admit to each other that they feel Gail should be evicted next.

"It's a game," says Bobby. "The worry that I have isn't for me. Do you know who I want to go? Gail. Because it upsets her dreadfully and I don't want to see her crying.

Bobby Davro, Gail Porter, and Stevi Ritchie & Chloe Jasmine have all been put up for eviction on Celebrity Big Brother.

In highlights airing tonight (September 7), the American housemates are asked to decide between them which three contestants they would like to nominate alongside Chris Ellison.

They choose Stevi & Chloe over the hot water situation, before tactically going for Bobby - with Fatman Scoop calling him the "glue" in the UK team.

The final nomination is between Gail and James Hill, with Jenna Jameson wanting James to go because she thinks he's distracting Austin.

However, Austin wants to vote for Gail instead, and Scoop backs Austin up by saying: "I'm not going to vote for someone who's not going to go.

"This is a younger fanbase with younger people. We're wasting our time not being selective with our votes."

When the American housemates announce to the rest of the house who they've put up for nomination,...

After Gail Porter's emotional day in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Natasha Hamilton is upset because she feels she doesn't value their friendship.

During a chat with Sherrie, Natasha admits she was upset that Gail didn't have anything complimentary to say about her.

"I feel like Gail is my closest friend. When she described everyone she didn't say I was her closest friend in here."

Sherrie tells her not to be offended as she was just overwhelmed by Austin shaving his head.

She continued: "I'm not one of those people that needs their arse licking but since the day I came in here, I gave up my bed for her.

"I thought we had a special friendship. I felt like we had a connection but after what was said. I feel a bit sad."

Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight (September 6) on Channel 5.

Austin Armacost is still not happy with Janice Dickinson ....

After a falling out last week, Austin told Big Brother she was "toxic" and doesn't exist to him anymore.

He said: "She's kinda a moot point now. She doesn't exist for me… a fart in the wind… horrible thing to say… she's been pretty nasty to everyone."

The pair clashed last week after a row over the lack of hot water which resulted in Janice "pantomiming a spit" at Austin.

Big Brother then issued Janice a final warning for her "aggressive behaviour", but the pair later made amends.

"I'm louder but she's toxic. She doesn't have any respect for anybody's time, space, she does not give a shit.

"I've never met somebody who I can look in the eye and they do not give a shit… can't teach an old dog new tricks and she is an old hound."

In a sweeter moment,...

In a welcome moment from all the rowing, Austin Armacost has melted our hearts by shaving his hair off to support Gail Porter.

Gail admitted that her hair loss makes her feel "extremely ugly" a lot of the time, which immediately upset Austin.

"Some women here are gorgeous. Within 20 secs of knowing these women, they're awful," Austin replied. "You're the most strong, independent woman I've known. You are an amazing human being."

He then told her that he would be "honoured" if she would shave his head.

Austin gave a heartwarming speech while an emotional Gail removed all of his hair, as he said that hair makes no difference to who a person is.

"I don't give a shit what people think," he said. "You are the most awesome human being. This is how important hair is Gail. This is something that's not important.

"I don't give a shit because...

The celebrities have spoken and the first housemates up for eviction have been announced - and for some, it won't really be much of a surprise.

A total of six celebrities will face the public vote, including Stevi Ritchie and Chloe Jasmine who come as a pair.

Farrah Abraham received the most nominations with eight, mainly because of all the rowing she's been doing with everyone else.

Not holding back at all, Austin Armacost said: "She is a sarcastic little bitch and I want her out of here."

Janice Dickinson and Daniel Baldwin had four nominations each, with housemates complaining of the former being too lazy and the latter being too loud for their liking.

Jenna Jameson got three votes altogether, while Stevi & Chloe and Chris Ellison received two votes each.

Austin, Bobby Davro, Fatman Scoop, Gail Porter and Natasha Hamilton all avoided any nominations at all this week.

Celebrity Big Brother...

Janice Dickinson is left less than impressed when she discovers her fellow Celebrity Big Brother housemates have used all the hot water.

In scenes airing tonight (August 31), Janice asks Bobby Davro about imposing a time limit on the bathroom, but James Hill, Jenna Jameson, Farrah Abraham and Austin Armacost have already used up the day's supply.

When Bobby tells Janice there is none left, she goes into the bathroom and says: "I wanted a f**king bath, Ok selfish people... It's called common f**king decency."

Jenna responds: "Don't be a diva, Ok!"

Later, Janice hears that Austin said Gail Porter wants to clean the bath, which leads to another argument.

The Celebrity Big Brother housemates have finally arrived and six UK stars have been pitted against their six Us counterparts for our very own viewing pleasure - before Bobby Davro and Janice Dickinson drop by on Friday to add to the mix.

But who exactly are these 12 celebrities, and what can you expect from them in the house?

Austin Armacost

Age: Unknown!

Who? Us reality TV star who appeared in Logo's The A-List: New York - an Lgbt-focused series which followed six gay and bisexual men. Also dated fashion designer Marc Jacobs.

Why is he going in the house? "It just seems like a fascinating experiment to put all these personalities together. There is 100,000 square feet of personality in 1,000 square feet of house."

Got it. And? "I would hate to see Farrah Abraham walk through those doors because I have heard nothing but terrible things about her. This bitch is just a bitch.

We've heard the rumours, seen the house pictures, spied the Diary Room chair and we know that there's going to be a UK vs Us theme. That's right, Celebrity Big Brother is back - and now all we need are some housemates.

As well as meeting the people due to keep us entertained for the forseeable, we've been promised a big twist to kick things off, so we should be in for a good night. Join us from 9pm as we bring you all the action...

23:01Right though - for now, that's your lot. Thanks for joining us and make sure you keep leaving your comments below - we want to know all your thoughts about what just happened!
