'It's been a long day', summarised Shievonne, after 24 hours that saw all kinds of mayhem. Highs and lows certainly abounded on Day Five in the Big Brother House.

It was a slow morning but in everyone perked up in the afternnon after five of the lads put their slinkiest feet forward to play Miss Big Brother 2012. Conor stormed it and celebrated with classic dance move, 'the worm'.

But there was an undercurrent of sneaky talk the whole time, which started to surface as Lydia and Scott discussed Deana early on. Shievonne made a valiant effort to keep everyone entertained with some of her fine impressions and soon a sense of calm enveloped the house, with the housemates enjoying some philosophical banter all around the house.

But then it was upon us. Nothing makes a BB House erupt like a disagreement over food and a series of disagreements erupted that began with the banger and soon moved on to a baked potato, then spilled over into bad feeling in the evening.

But at least, in the midst of a little light and scattered squabbling, the gang found time to splash themselves with makeup, bringing a slightly grotesque twist to a night filled with ups and downs.
