[welcomewiki]

Big Brother invited Series 9 contestant Rex Newmark to return to play the 'devil' in charge of the task room.Each housemate had to stay silent during their individual tasks while being placed in uncomfortable situations. After years of denial, Chantelle Houghton admitted she's been forced to come to terms with her feelings over her failed marriage to Samuel Preston.

But after already ending up crying in his arms on what would have been their fourth wedding anniversary last week, the model ended up sobbing again over their divorce three years ago. The 26-year-old lost her cool as she and Preston, 25, were guests on a mock chat show hosted by Vanessa Feltz for a task set by Big Brother.

Vanessa kicked off the interview, entitled 'We found love on a reality show' by asking if either of them planned to find love when they starred on Celebrity Big Brother in 2006. Preston - who had a girlfriend Camille at the time - said 'it was the last thing' he expected. Preston said: 'It didn't really hit us until after we came out did it?' When Vanessa pointed out how well they get on now, she can't believe they got divorced.

Ulrika said wannabe celebrities should be aware that one of the price of fame is 'when I walk up the high street everyone around me knows exactly what is going on in my bedroom'.
