Perfect pose: Maisy's blonde locks \are very similar to the former Baywatch star's

Given the claim to fame of the celebrity housemate in residence, it wasn't going to be long before Big Brother launched a Baywatch-style task.

And there was no mistaking the red swimsuits the housemates slipped on yesterday afternoon.

The housemates turned into the iconic lifeguards for the challenge which involved running in slow motion for as long as possible.


Dead ringer? Maisy James did arguably the best Pamela Anderson impression as the housemates suited up for a slow-motion running task

Heaven and Aden, who had previously won 'magical golden swimsuits' in the VIP and speed dating tasks did not have to take part.

Pamela, who got up to give a helpful demonstration, told the contestants that they should 'shake their heads back and forth as if the wind was blowing through their hair.'

But as a nod to the gravity of a lifeguard's responsibilities she added that they should keep ‘a look of determination on their faces’ as they imagined sailing across the gleaming sand.


She means business: Maisy, who won the task, certainly looked like she was prepared to go the distance


Very appropriately given her Pamela-esque blonde locks, store model Maisy was crowned winner of the task.

The determined 19-year-old managed to keep running for an impressive 34 minutes.
She also received a golden swimsuit, though it is not yet known what privileges the coveted garment will endow her with.


Extra help? Faye appeared to be wearing a bra under her suit


Ready for action: In true lifeguard style Louise was clutching an orange float

The housemates all took advantage of the opportunity to show off in their sexy garb, with Louise getting particularly flirtatious as she pulled down her costume while whispering to Jay.

Faye and Tom were a little more playful, jokingly trying out some dance moves in their lifeguard gear.

Aaron seemed a little jaded by the whole thing, however.


Hardly the Hoff: Harry Tom and Mark were flailing a little during the task, which involved running in slow motion for as long as possible


Showing them how it's done: Pamela did a demonstration for the housemates


Whip your hair! Pamela told the housemates to shake their heads back and forth as if the wind was blowing through their hair

The concerned father-of-one asked Pamela: ‘Does it bother you at all that
[the tasks] are very Baywatch focused? You've done other good stuff like Barb Wire.’

Anderson brushed off the 30-year-old's worries, defending the iconic show as she replied: 'It's cool... Baywatch is a good thing, it's really positive, it was good stuff.'


Stay serious: Pamela also told the contestants to keep a 'look of determination' on their faces

Pamela's certainly had her hands full since she entered the Big Brother house.

On Saturday night Tom, Tashie, Faye, Heaven and Louise were treated to a decadent evening in the VIP area of the garden, hosted by the star.

Pammi gave each of them a special VIP bracelet, before heading outside to their special secluded area.


Bit flirtatious? Louise pulled her suit down but covered her chest with her hands as Jay leaned in to hear her whisper


Baywatch buff: Aaron looked very comfortable with the challenge

There they were treated to luxury canapés, snacks, non-alcoholic cocktails and champagne, while the non VIP housemates slummed it with warm larger and crisps.

As the night ticked on, the foursome were required to entertain the Canadian actress by showing off their dance moves whenever music played, telling stories and making her laugh.

Following the celebrations, Anderson chose dancer and holistic healer Heaven as the most entertaining housemate, and she was bestowed with her golden swimsuit.


You like the way I move? Faye and Tom show off in their suits

After the drama of the first night, Pamela's next task involved spending some quality time getting hot and sweaty with the housemates.

She speed dated each individual in the sauna, but unknown to them she was able to secretly control the length of each date with the use of a safe word.

Aden won the task, and like Heaven was therefore allowed to sit out of the swimsuit challenge.


Immunity: Because Pamela had deemed her the 'most entertaining' housemate, Heaven donned a 'magical' gold swimsuit, and didn't have to take part in the task

Hi everybody! Pamela Anderson looked sensational in a gorgeous red dress as she greeted the surprised Big Brother 2011 housemates

Walking into the Big Brother house for the first time must have been daunting enough for the new Big Brother housemates.

So it came as no surprise that when they came face-to-face with a Hollywood star they were more than a little overawed.

As the 14 new housemates got acquainted with each other and their surroundings, the shutters opened, showing the contestants their garden.

But as they made their way to the doors, Pamela Anderson, 44, was sitting outside looking sensational in a figure-hugging red dress.

At first, the housemate were unsure what was going on until the penny dropped and someone shouted: 'Oh my god, it's Pamela Anderson!'


Let's check out the garden: The housemates rush to the windows as the shutters go up - little knowing the surprise in store for them


Is that who we think it is? The housemates peer outside the window as it dawns on them who the famous guest is


Oh my god, it's really her! The contestants surround the former Baywatch babe as she gets to know them


Some started rushing towards the former Baywatch star while others just casually strode out, trying to hide their excitement, as musician Anton Murphy held his hands and thanked the heavens.

Mark Anderson, who was the first one to enter the house and describes himself as a 'modern day jester', couldn't contain his excitement at all.

After giving the blonde bombshell a big hug, he told her, 'You are really fit in real life as well', before adding: 'When you used to run slowly across the beach, I used to think that was the most amazing thing.'


Nice to meet you: Pamela goes to give everyone a hug and a kiss - as sales assistant Mark looked in complete awe at the actress


Dream come true: As Mark hugged Pamela, he couldn't resist telling her she was 'fit in real life as well'


Heaven Africa, a holistic healer, then asked her:' How have they got you to do Big Brother? Are you in for a few days?'

Pamela, who seemed keen to stress she wasn't there for the entirety, said: 'I am, we're gonna have so much fun.


Hello handsome: Pamela plants a kiss on Aden's cheek


Give us a hug: Megan Fox lookalike Louise Cliff embraces the Hollywood star


'I am just going to talk to you for a while. I'm here for a few days but am having so much fun I might stay longer.'

The housemates nervously gabbed nineteen to the dozen as they surrounded the star as she joked she couldn't understand them all.


Here come the boys: Sales assistant Mark Henderson and father of one Aaron Allard-Morgan were the first men to enter the house


But what the housemates don't know is that being Pamela's best friend will bring big rewards for them - if she likes them.

It had certainly been an eventful evening for the 14 housemates as they faced the public and entered the house just a few hours earlier.


First ladies: Maisy James and Heaven Africa came in second and fourth


First in was Mark Henderson, a single sales assistant who, as he entered the house, said: 'Don't say anything too stupid. Am I the first one here?'

Abercrombie and Fitch store model Maisy James was the second one in and got booed by the crowd as she made her way into the house and posed for the cameras.


The crazy and the quiet: Thomas O'Connell arrived in a multi-coloured top and shorts while psychiatry student Aden sauntered in


'I'm not the first one in!' she declared as she met Mark who wanted to show her the bath shaped like an egg, telling her it was his 'favourite thing so far'.

Aaron Allard-Morgan from Weston-Super-Mare was greeted by a mixture of cheers and boos and immediately upon walking through the door was asked by Mark if he was any good at opening champagne bottles.


Pink ladies: Tashie Jackson strutted towards the house in a figure-hugging cerise dress while Alex Rose went for a baby shade of the colour for her dress


Heaven Africa laughed her head off as she walked in the house screaming, 'oh my god, oh my god!' before Thomas O'Connell followed suit demanding hugs from everyone.

Belly-dancer Tashie Jackson, who told Brian that she can swear in Spanish, French, Arabic and Cypriot, who next in, followed by psychiatry student Adem, who took the whole thing in his stride as he casually and confidently went into the house.


Self-made men: Businessman Harry Blake and music producer Anton Murphy casually strolled into the house


McDonalds worker Alex Rose was in next and was very nervous and giggly but was given a reassuring hug by Heaven.

Harry Blake, who owns a milkshake company, was in next closely followed by Rebeckah Vaughan, who was in tears when she walked down the stairs and met her housemates, asking if she was the first one to cry.


The princess and the wrestler: Rebeckah Vaughan and Faye Palmer couldn't have looked more different


Record producer Anton Murphy was the eleventh person in and looked cool and confident as he faced his housemates for the first time as female wrestler Faye Palmer went in after him making it an even dozen.

She admitted she was shaking even when Heaven told her she looked hot, before all female eyes turned to fitness instructor Jay McKray as he walked down the stairs and introduced himself to everyone before he was followed in by the last contestant, Megan Fox lookalike Louise Cliff.


Last but not least: Jay McKray and Louise Cliff were the final contestants to enter the house

My Big Fat Victory: Paddy Doherty is crowned this year's winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2011

He thought he would only be in the house for a week at the most but tonight Paddy Doherty was crowned as this year's winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2011.

The star of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding looked stunned but elated when host Brian Dowling announced that he had received the most votes and was the winner.

He hugged Kerry Katona, who was this year's runner-up, and lifted her off the ground and punched his fist in the air before shouting: 'Wommmmannnnn!'.


He left the house to deafening cheers and blinding flashbulbs and soaked up the atmosphere looking very emotional.

Once in the hot seat with host Brian Dowling he thanked all the fans for voting for him and said he thought he would only be in the house for a week and there was no way he was going to win it.

He said: 'I thank all the people who voted for me. I swear I only thought I’d last one week, no way did I think I’d win, I had no game plan.'

Thank you everyone! Paddy shows his appreciation to the crowd waiting outside the house


Talking about his housemates, he said said he wasn't used to mixing with people outside of the travelling community but he found the whole experience to be fantastic.

He said he got on the best with Kerry and Darryn and said he believed he was like the father that Kerry never had.

And he said Darryn, who he called a 'proper true gentleman', bonded because he was like his equal and older than the other housemates and they would be lifelong friends.

It's me! Applauded by the evictees outside, Paddy cheers in delight as he and Kerry jump up and down upon hearing the news that he had won


Paddy was also tearfully reunited with his wife Roseanne and said the pair had never before spent more than four days apart.

Before he was given his moment in the spotlight, Kerry was crowned the runner-up and ran out of the house to loud applause and cheers.

She told her host that she couldn't believe she had come second and she said the show had helped her put a 'wrong right'.

She said her time in the house taught her that she is a 'strong, independent woman and I can stand on my own two feet' but she didn't like being given the task of acting like a diva as she wanted to make a good impression on her flatmates.

Second place: Kerry said she was delighted to be the runner-up
Brian asked Kerry about her and Lucien but she just cooed and said he is like her little brother.


Jedward, who many had tipped to win the show, came in third place, and leapt around like excited little boys when they name was called.

Once outside, they spoke all over each other and said: 'We had an awesome time, was so cool being in there. They all rocked!'

Brian told the twins that they hadn't received one single nomination while in the house and they said it was because the housemates had 'unconditional love' towards them.

Double trouble: Jedward leap on each other as they come third leaving Paddy and Kerry to battle it out


Amy Childs had been voted out just before them and strutted out of the house looking sensational in a sparkling gold dress and towering heels, blowing kisses to the audience.

She told Brian: ''Oh my god, I'm so excited to be out! I was so nervous, I thought everyone was going to boo me.'

She admitted that she had spray tanned earlier and annoyed the housemates as she got it everywhere and it took her all day to get ready for tonight's final.

When quizzed about Lucien and the budding romance that has kept viewers gripped, she said she didn't fancy him and added: 'Lucien is a friend and we've had a bit of flirting and a bit of banter but that's it.'

Golden girl: Amy Childs is greeted by applause and cheers as she leaves the house


Lucien left the house immediately before her, having been the third celebrity to miss out on their place in the final tonight, and was greeted by screams and cheers.

He said he was really nervous about facing the crowd outside the house but said going in was scary and added: 'To come in a house with such big personalities, I didn't think I would make it this far.'

Talking about the ladies in the house, he said: 'I might be a bit flirty at times but was just having a good time and a laugh.'

When Brain quizzed him about Amy he said he liked her at one point but has now come round and they're better off as mates.

I'm out! Lucien jumps for joy as he becomes the third housemate to leave the house tonight


As for Kerry, he said: 'She is a beautiful person and as gorgeous as she is, I see her as a big sister.'

Australian paparazzo Darryn Lyons was the second person to get the boot from the house and said he couldn't believe he'd got to the final night.

He said: 'I didn't think I make the final night, absolutely overawed and happy to come out at the middle of the group.

'My life's a rollercoaster and that won't change whether in the house or outside.'

Darryn also said he had an immediate connection to Paddy Doherty and called him his 'rock', a shoulder to cry on and tipped him to win.

G'day! Darryn Lyons gives a thumbs up as he faces the crowd upon leaving the house


And while he might have provided some eye candy for the female viewers, male model Bobby Sabel became the first housemate to be evicted from tonight's live final show.

The 25-year-old waafter he was shown the door by Big Brother and told Brian: 'It feels good to be back'.

Despite being greeted by a mixture of boos, cheers and wolf whistles, he told Dowling that he was delighted to see the audience when he came out.

He said: 'I loved it, absolutely loved, like being in solitary confinement with ten people and then coming out to see these people, it was great.'


First out: Bobby Sabel became the first housemate to leave tonight's live final

Dry your eyes: Birthday girl Kerry Katona has an emotional moment in the Big Brother diary room

Kerry Katona's 31st birthday was definitely one to remember as she celebrated her special day in the Big Brother house.

The former pop star was treated to a surprise party, a couple of strip shows and a slice of garlic bread as she turned another year older.

But it wasn't all laughter and leather shorts for the birthday girl, as she spent some of her day crying in the diary room.


Birthday girl: Kerry reflects on turning 31 in the Big Brother house and explains that she doesn't really celebrate her big day


Big Brother asked the star how it felt being in the house on her birthday to which Kerry replied: '31 today and what a great way to spend it.'

The star then became teary eyed as she spoke of her joy of seeing the Big Brother experience through to the end and why she chose to do it for her children.

'I've embarrassed my kids enough in the past,' she said. 'I'm doing this for them and standing on my won two feet. I've messed up enough.'


Pizza express: the housemates endure a messy task as they race against each other to make the perfect pizza


The mother of five continued to dwell on her destructive past and said she'll always be embarrassed by what she's done.

'I never want to go back to that life again,' she sobbed. 'I was in a really unhappy marriage, doing loads of drugs. I wasn't the best mum.'

The day perked up for the reality TV star as the housemates were issued a pizza making task.

Dressed as chefs and waiters in the garden, the two teams raced against each other to make a pizza with the chefs attached to bungy cords on a blow up runway.

The messy take resulted in a food fight and left Kerry in much better spirits, although the best was yet to come.


Striptease: X Factor twins Jedward decide to give Kerry a special birthday treat as the other housemates look on


Even though her team lost the task, and the chance to tuck into take away pizza, Kerry enjoyed a slice of loser's garlic bread whilst Jedward secretly begged Big Brother to help them throw her a surprise party.

As Kerry was called into the diary room for another heartfelt conversation, the store room was opened up and housemates had a limited time to decorate the house for birthday girl Kerry.

Balloons were blown up and a birthday cake was decorated as Kerry sat in the diary room chair and said she doesn't always celebrate her birthday.


Anti-climax: John and Edward throw their towels to reveal tight shorts and hand drawn tattoos


Much to her surprise, the housemates sung happy birthday to Kerry on her return and continued the party in the garden.

Not satisfied with just a party, X Factor twins, Jedward decided to give a Kerry an extra surprise - in the form of a striptease.

As their fellow housemates laughed along, John and Edward placed Kerry in a chair and stripped down to their shorts revealing hand drawn tattoos proclaiming their love for the ex-Atomic Kitten singer.

But this wasn't the end of Kerry's birthday treats.


The Full Monty: the remaining male housemates decide to perform their own striptease for Kerry as Amy Childs looks on


Determined not to be in the shadow of the hyperactive twins, the remaining male housemates decided to go one step further and perform their own 'Full Monty' routine for Kerry.

Bobby, Darryn, Paddy and Lucien practised their routine in the bedroom and managed to blag some music for their show.

The dodgy dance routine consisted of paparazzo Darryn playing with bananas, Lucien taking himself far too seriously and Paddy playing it safe in case his wife was watching.

Needless to say, Kerry - who had glammed herself up for the occasion wearing a strapless dress that showed off the large tattoo on her back - thoroughly enjoyed her birthday party and ended the night on good spirits.


Stripping off: Coronation street star, Lucien wears a bow tie and sunglasses as he dances for the birthday girl


Reflecting on their time in the house, the finalists bundled into the diary room and shared their best moments with each other.

Model Bobby revealed that he loved the Wizard of Oz task, where he dressed up as Dorothy, because he got to know Kerry as a person.

But bubbly Kerry said her favourite memory was the twin task in which she had to mimic Paddy, with the pair eventually winning the challenge.

The shock announcement came from trouble makers, Jedward, as they apologised for terrorising their fellow housemates and for all the 'noise, mess and splashing you with water.'

The group ended the night with a big group hug and probably went to bed wondering who will be crowned winner Celebrity Big Brother 2011.

Feeling foolish: Lucien talks to Big Brother about his disappointment that nothing will happen between him and Amy

Yesterday he was warned against falling for the redheaded Essex girl by a couple of his fellow housemates.

And tonight, Lucien Laviscount laid his cards on the table and admitted he felt like a 'muppet' after Amy Childs revealed that she doesn't fancy him.

The young actor headed to the Diary Room and poured out his disappointment to Big Brother and said it had been confirmed what everyone had told him about her.

Looking forlorn and wrapped in a blanket, he said: 'It’s like your parents tell you you're going to Disneyland Florida and then you find out you’re going to Disneyland Paris…. it's not the same.


Heart-to-heart: Lucien tells Amy he is happy for them to just be friends

'I feel like a muppet… I got shot down.'

Earlier, he had been out in the garden with Amy and Kerry Katona but when he left to use the bathroom, he overheard Kerry tell Amy not to lead him on, to which Amy responded that she wasn't attracted to him.

As Big Brother throws the housemates a cocktail party, Kerry decides to try and encourage the romance but Lucien gets fed up of chasing Amy around and shuns her.

She runs over to him and playfully punches him and then rolls on top of him before he tells her to stop teasing him.


Give us a cuddle: Amy goes to give Lucien a hug...


... and ends up jumping on him and rolling off the sofa


The pair later have a heart to heart in the garden and Lucien admits that he got the wrong impression because he was 'under a spell' which he couldn't shake off.

He then tells the beauty therapist that he is more than happy to be just friends with her.

Meanwhile, the housemates woke up this morning divided after yesterday's pose off saw Take This win the battle of the bands.


To the victors the spoils: Take This are treated to a full English breakfast for winning the bands task


Take This - consisting of Paddy, John, Bobby and Darryn, were treated to a full English breakfast while the other band Kela - Edward, Kerry, Lucien and Amy - woke up having spent the night camping outside.

Darryn declares that the fry-up is 'gold dust' and tells Big Brother that the 'room service has been brilliant' as he and the other three tuck into their feast.


Are you hungry? John kindly offers his leftover breakfast to Kerry


John feels sorry for his twin and the others so takes leftovers out to the groupies in a plastic bag but is told off by Big Brother for spending time with them.

As his punishment, he must got to the Diary Room and sign hundreds of Take This posters, to which he shrugs and says: 'In one night I signed 2,000 autographs in Germany.'


Let the RSI begin: As punishment for mixing with the 'groupies', John is made to sign hundreds of Take This autographs
