Comedian Leigh Francis amused the housemates for the day when he and his various alter egos took over the Big Brother house.
The contestants were confused when a strange voice boomed over the tannoy: "I am Samantha Mumba." Francis then tried to pass himself off as Owen Wilson from the film Wedding Splashers, but then came clean and revealed that he was really "Keith Lemon - businessman of the year '93" who set the housemates an entrepreneurial task by asking them to get into groups and pitch a number of "unique" business ideas to him.
He showed the housemates a video of his invention Fabio, which earned him millions in the '90s but he has since failed to find any more successful business ideas and told the housemates that he needed them to help him out and as a thank you for their help, the winner would be given a Ford Escort car. The star told the unimpressed housemates: "It's a 1.6 with doors all around it that open. It's got wheels, it's got seats, it's got a steering wheel - you can drive it." First to pitch their idea were John and Liam, who presented the 'Think Dome' - "a creative space wherever, whenever". Next up were Victor, Jeremy and Emilia who did their best to sell "the walking chair", followed by Jay, Nathan and Calista who enthused about the wonders of their 'Shrink-A-Foot' idea. Last to present were Anthony, Latoya and Amy as 'The Last Starfighters', who introduced a travel toilet. Amy gushed: "Whoever you and whatever you like, fashion just changed, in fact toilet trips just got trendy."It obviously wasnt a difficult choice as Keith didn't take long to announce the winners of the Ford Escort as 'The Last Starfighters' to which Lemon added: "To bring in the prize, I'll send in Martin. A kiddie I'm looking after for one of the charities that I do called Lemon-Aid."
Although he described Martin as a 12-year-old, the person who entered was a grown man but regardless, the group soon grilled the newcomer on his age, football team and where he lived, though it was his claim to be staying in the house for the duration of the show that triggered the biggest response.
"Maybe he won a competition to get in here," pondered Victor, while Amy couldn't believe that the housemates were falling for another Big Brother hoax: "He's acting. Don't fall for it again." However, he continued to ingratiate himself with the group as Liam took him on a tour of the house, but the situation soon escalated when a game of kiss chase resulted in a stink bomb being let off.
The fun didnt last long though as Martin was soon ejected when Nathan and John were called to the Diary Room, where they were asked to decide whether Martin should stay in the house or not. Claiming it was for the good of the house, the pair decided against keeping Martin.
Later that evening, the housemates were transformed into Bo Selecta Craig Davids tonight, as Leigh Francis supplied them with costumes and told them they must each perform a song.
Nathan however, wasnt too keen on the idea as the R n' B singer worried: "Next time I see Craig he's gonna be pissed." but he was quickly silenced when Jeremy said: "Stop talking about him like you know him."
Having transformed themselves into a clan of Craigs, Leigh's Craig revealed the rules of his task. "You've got to walk like me, talk like me, sing like me," and in order to pass the task the housemates will have to learn the song 'Soda Pop' and look after Kez, the bird of prey puppet that features alongside Leigh in his Craig David sketch.
It was the bird that was eventually their downfall as Francis explained "You failed the task because Kes hurt her toe, But I'm not as nasty as her... so I'm going to give you a consolation prize. You haven't won a fancy, but for everyone who wanted sweet chilli sauce - I've given you tons of it in the store room."
The housemates face a double eviction tomorrow night, meaning that Emilia, Liam and Jeremy (who were nominated by celebrity hijacker Joan Rivers on Day 13) or Victor - who was nominated by Anthony as his punishment for failing the SAS task each face an early trip home. However, the housemates are blissfully unaware that two of their number will leave in the eviction.
At least lovebirds Anthony and Calista dont face the prospect of being separated this Friday however, Anthony has told love interest Calista that he was worried he was coming across as "sleazy" because of his flirty behaviour and that he wanted to cool things off between them. However, him saying this was about as belivable as Emilia saying she doesnt fancy Jeremy as they continued their quest to get to know each other yesterday evening as Anthony told her about his boxing career.
However, Calista might be taking their break a little bit too serious for Anthony as he expressed insecurities in the hot tub, accusing Calista of giving him the cold shoulder throughout the day. He said; "You don't listen to me anymore. You've been ignoring me during the day." Which Calista vehemently denied only to provke the playground response of Whatever. from Anthony.
The advent of John to the hot tub caused the topic of conversation to quickly change, although Anthony later stroked Calista's feet playfully beneath the water.
