Latoya and Emilia reacted remarkably calmly to the announcement that they were up for eviction, while the rest of the housemates could not believe that there were only two of them facing the public vote.

Emilia was full of conspiracy theories to explain away the fact she was nominated. She mused: "It's possible that Mat and James have already picked people to be nominated. They were too nice, Mat was playing a character."The house was taken over by half of hit girl group All Saints yesterday and saw Nicole Appleton and Melanie Blatt seize control of the housemates and decided to test how much the group actually know about their specialist subjects.Talking to the house, the singers explained: "We've been watching you all show off your talents, but what we'd all like to see is how much you know about your area of expertise." The housemates grew excited at news of their task, dubbed 'the Brain of Big Brother'.Following round one of the task, Calista beagin to worry about her appearance after she saw her fellow housemates on the plasma screen. The musician started getting paranoid about her looks when she commented how different some people looked on TV. She asked Emilia: "Some people looked so different, did I look the same?"They both then decided that Nathan had looked younger, while Jeremy looked a lot different, but Calista still had her own image on her mind, saying: "Latoya looked gorgeous, do I look boring and plain?"That evening, the celebrity hijackers entered the Big Brother house this evening to hold a party for the contestants. The All Saints stars invited all of the girls plus Jay to have champagne with them, while boys Anthony, Jeremy, John and Nathan were locked in the bedroom.Anthony was upset that he was not included in the special meeting even though he had won the "Brain of Big Brother" task, but All Saints revealed to the girls that they wanted to give them a treat for once and during this ‘girly time’ Melanie took the chance to tell Emilia face to face how well her brother Victor had come across when he was evicted. She told her: "Your brother has done so well, he's turned it around... he's such a nice guy and such a nice sibling."The singers also took the chance to give the girls some make-up tips after Appleton declared the group to be "gorgeous" but she urged Calista to drop her reliance on heavy eyeliner. "You don't look bad, but in the day it looks nice to be more natural."After learning that she was to face the public vote, Emilia and her sidekick Jeremy indulged in some joking at John's expense as Jeremy asked the circus performer: "What if they ask you to choose someone to take with you?" A mischievous Emilia smiled and said: "I'd take Latoya with me, bring her down!" Once they had finished laughing at the prospect, Jeremy then suggested: "You should take John." On hearing this, Emilia started to laugh and gave Jeremy a high-five.

He continued to rib the Scotsman and the fact that John has immunity from all nominations. "Imagine you did that!" Then in a dodgy Scottish accent, Jeremy imitated him: "Noooooo, it wasn't meant to be like this. I was meant to win the 50 grand!"

However it wasn’t all fun and games between the usually tactile pair yesterday as a argument reached a complete stand off Emilia and Jeremy had an argument which resulted in a stand-off between the two after Emilia tried to explin to Jeremy what she thought of her being up for eviction this week.

However, the seemingly innocent conversation spiralled into an argument after Jeremy failed to grasp what Emilia was trying to tell him. She said: "If you're not intelligent enough to understand then I'm not going to explain it to you."

The racing driver took exception to his and told Emilia: "Don't question my intelligence, because I am more intelligent than you. Anyway it has nothing to do with intelligence it is to do with a point of view." At this point Emilia had had enough and stormed off to the hot tub to sit and dip her feet.

Jeremy tried to defend himself to Amy by saying: "To say something like that is to belittle me immediately. As soon as you get in an argument and belittle someone then that's to do with her insecurity." To which Amy teased: "Are you sure you don't fancy her? That would explain why you have these huge arguments."

Emilia then went to the bathroom where John was sitting on his own but as he tried to placate the circus performer, Emilia showed no signs of calming down. She raged: "I don't even want to sleep next to him, I don't want to see his face. He was wagging his finger as well. I do that to my dog, to make him understand because he's an animal. It's a fucking command, don't fucking command me."

Jeremy has told Amy he is embarrassed that Big Brother is construing his relationship with Emilia as more than just friendship.

Speaking to the artist early yesterday evening the racing driver denied he has any romantic feelings for Emilia, saying: "She's a good looking girl, but it's just not like that."

Amy said she understood, and pointed out that Big Brother "just wants to create relationships". She said they had aspirations for romance between Jade and Anthony, Latoya and Nathan, Emilia and Jeremy, and now Calista and Anthony.

Later on Jeremy decided to takle the problem head on and speak to Emilia. Firstly he apologisedfor upsetting her earlier in the day by saying he had simply been trying to express his surprise that Latoya is up for eviction, since he thought she had lots of friends in the house.

He then explained that he had actually thought that he would be facing the public vote again, and was "really sorry" if he had put his point across in a way that upset her. "You know I don't want you to leave," he said. This softened Emilias hardened exterior and the pair continued to discuss their relationship long into the night.

Bridges were also repaired when Amy tried to patch up her relationship with Nathan following days of unease after last weeks celebrity hijacker Chris Moyles told Nathan to confess his feelings to the housemate he is most attracted to. He subsequently informed Amy that he fancied her, upsetting Latoya in the process. Since then, the pair have barely interacted.

"The only reason I was awkward was that I didn't want to hurt you," said the artist. To which Nathan replied, "I was just joking, I don't have feelings like that for anyone in the house." Seemingly oblivious to Nathans reply amy continued: "I wouldn't want you to feel like I'm snobbish or have a superiority complex," she continued.

During later conversation with Latoya, Nathan confided that he is worried what his friends will think of his appearance in the Big Brother house. The pair were lying on the sofas in the bathroom when Nathan decided to get things off his chest, but Latoya was quick to reassure him that his true friends would like him regardless of anything he does during the competition. She said: "Friends will like you... they'll understand there's editing that goes on."

Calista spent most of last night complaining that she didn't feel well, although it seems the real cause of her illness might have been a little bit too much booze! It all began around 9.30 when, during a conversation she was having with Jay, she suddenly stood up and announced she needed to go to bed. Then, having spent an hour or so curled up in her duvet, she decided to have a bath. Sitting amidst the bubbles with her bottom lip visibly drooping, she complained: "I don't feel too good."

"It's because you've been drinking beer," remarked Anthony, in an attempt to reassure her who told her she should go outside and get some fresh air to make her feel better. To which Calista appeared to agree - she unplugged the bath and set off outside. She then got back into bed and was quiet for a while, until she overheard Anthony, Latoya and John arguing over chocolate, when she piped up and said: "Chocolate? I want chocolate."
