It was a day of House parties. Big Brother woke the housemates with a cry of 'surprise' before treating them to a children's party, complete with jelly and ice cream and a bouncy castle. The 'Party Animals' shopping task was an instant hit.

BB offered the boys a chance to enjoy the girls pillow fighting in their undies on a giant pink bed, during the slumber party element of the task. Delight was short lived as Conor and Luke S overheard the girls gossiping about the boys. Luke S was particularly peeved after hearing Ashleigh tell the ladies he whiffed of onions.

The couple had it out after the the girls put on a pretty poor show with the pillows, with Luke S flipping between wounded puppy and angry badger. He later constructed a love shack in the garden for the pair of them, but Ashleigh went to a rave and he was left alone with his quilt.

Housemates have partied their socks off in the evening. BB treated them to a black tie dinner complete with waiter, wine and organised fun. The latter arrived in the form of 'topics of conversation', provided by Big Brother. As part of the task they had to talk non-stop on the chosen subject, speaking honestly at all times.

We were not entirely convinced by some of the tales - not one, but four housemates claimed the kindest thing they have ever done involved helping a little old lady. Not hugely original guys.

Back to the rave. BB challenged the housemates to send their biggest party animals to a late night party. Ashleigh, who read out the instructions, picked herself, Deana and Conor for this dancing task. The three have to have a minimum of two people throwing shapes on the flashing dance floor at any one time. They started out busting some decent moves, before drifting into dad dancing and walking round in a circle.

The three may have bonded, as only those stuck in a sweaty room with the same song on repeat can. We'll have to wait until they wake up this morning to see if it lasts.
