Josie was given a free pass, while Davina informed the remaining contestants of the August 24 final shortly after Jo became the latest evictee from the BB house.

Josie was voted by her peers as the one to go straight into the final, which was made all the sweeter after Davina proceeded to advise that this season’s winner would then go head to head against winners from previous years to become the Ultimate Housemate. To make the matter more imminent, four of the housemates will get the boot on Friday ahead of the final just four days later.

One of the stars who won’t be returning is Alex Reid, the cage fighter that triumphed in this year’s celebrity version of the TV phenomenon that is in the middle of its swansong. Reid reportedly turned down an over believed to be worth £150,000 to go back into the house, preferring instead to focus on training and time with his wife Katie Price than try out for the title of best housemate of all time.

In household action, Sam and Mario won Mexican-themed challenges, as did Corin. The latter has been labelled a cynical, deceitful snake by recent evictee Jo Butler after she found out Corin had nominated her. Corin had her own problems inside, as Sam played another practical joke and the boys mocked her make-up and eviction wig. Meanwhile, John James has shown how serious he is about Josie by vowing to move to England so they can be together.

Reid, the cross-dressing cagefighter turned Britain’s new favourite TV personality after his win on the celebrity version of the much hyped Big Brother reality programme has obviously managed to raise his profile during his stint on the show.

Katie and Alex flew off to Las Vegas yesterday at the early hours of the morning and walked in their five-star accommodation — Planet Hollywood hotel on Sunset Strip – which was followed by a quick shower, a few glasses of champagne accompanied by some chocolate-dipped strawberries. The love-birds then headed off to the Wynn Hotel for the wedding.

The filmed for TV 22 minute ceremony – attended by a handful of friends and relatives — started at 4pm Nevada time.

Amongst the invited guests was Diana Colbert, Katie’s publicist.

Once pronounced husband and wife, the pair kissed passionately in front of the cameras on hand.

A close source to Price said that the she came up with the idea when Reid was in the midst on Celebrity Big Brother. She said that Katie truly love’s Alex.

The two left the chapel only 30 minutes after entering it and appeared extremely happy and excited. They immediately headed off to their $10,000-a-night penthouse honeymoon suite.

Price, who was well known in the days of her youth as the busty pin-girl Jordan, had famously wedded pop star Peter Andre in a lavish affair in September 2005. Andre and Price revealed that they were separating in May 2009 following a three and half year marriage.

It emerged in July 2009 that Price was dating Reid.

It would appear that Reid is on course to rehabilitate himself with the British public. Already, the cage fighter behaved like a complete gentleman in respect to Katie’s former flame, performer Dane Bowers, when he walked in on the set of the show during the first episode. Since then, Bowers has even applied some lotion of Reid’s back.

Now Reid claims that it’d be great to have the father of two of Katie’s kids on the set. Reid said he’d like to become better acquainted with Pete and to very likely apologise for past behaviour. Things got pretty bad in the Andre-Price-Reid affair and only God knows of the horrible things went out flying in the heat of the moment.

Reid and Andre have actually never met. Pete reveled earlier that he dons’t watch the show. An encounter is thus probably way off still.

Meanwhile, Britain’s most famous cross-dressing-cage-fighter, in fact, probably the country’s only one, claimed to be trisexual earlier this week.

Reid, who is obviously demonstrating a huge urge to put an end to his muscleman life style and go into acting, was surrounded by his housemates for a serious talk.

During the talk, he talked about his philosophy about, which he summed up as people can do what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.

About his acting career, Reid got some very proper advice from Vinnie, Dane and Stephen.

The consensus seemed to have been to sort himself out and that Celebrity Big Brother might be his greatest opportunity to be taken seriously.

Dane told him that at the moment, he only was famous because of his involvement with Katie Price and because he’s cross-dresser.

Bible reading Stephen, who is turning out to be one the most entertaining participants, very wisely advised Reid to simply decide on what he wanted and to let that person be.

Of the former wife if US real estate tycoon Donald Trump, she said she was kept having verbal disagreements.

Fleiss admitted to be ready to go home while in the Diary Room. She complained about needing her things and her foods and of disliking the showers.

Then she claimed to be not tough enough for appearing on the show.

Fleiss became famous in the US during the 90s where she reportedly made as much as $10,000 per night arranging secretive meetings between rich and powerful men and some of her gorgeous young prostitutes.

Meanwhile, Jordan boyfriend and cage fighter Alex Reid was told that if he would fail to complete the task of knocking down a snowman in return for his punchbag, all the contestants would have to be punished.

He said to the Tree of Temptation that he’d give it a go.

Ronnie Wood former girlfriend Katia Ivanova seems to be having a great time as she got hold Jonas Altberg – aka DJ Basshunter – for some intimate lip locking sessions under the covers of the bed they shared.

The couple had to make some room for new arrival snuggled up to make room for Ivana Trump since the house only has 11 beds.

A socialite and ex-Olympic skier for her native Czechoslovakia, Trump arrived on the set of the show on Friday as the other housemates were performing a variety show.

Trump, who is renowned for her appetite for much younger men, has instilled fear in the heart of actor Stephen Baldwin, who told Big Brother he wanted to change beds so that he didn’t have to sleep next to her.

Baldwin talked about the rampant phenomenon involving rich old women sleeping with young men which he referred to as the “sleep cougar syndrome”.

Yesterday’s numbers for Celebrity Big Brother were about 10 percent higher than last year’s when 5.6 million viewers tuned in.

The total viewership combined numbers from the audience who watched the programme on Sunday night on Channel 4 as well as those who saw the show on Channel 4 +1 channel on its time-shifted schedule.

Host Davina McCall welcomed the likes of Stephen Baldwin, Alex Reid, Katia Ivanova, Vinnie Jones and Sisqo into the seventh edition of the show.

CBB7’s closest competition aired at the same time was Wallander, broadcasted on BBC One, which pulled in around 5.4 million viewers.

Meanwhile, 4.9 million viewers tuned in to see Poirot on ITV1.

One of the main events at the first show of the season was Hollywood actor admitting he had a crush on Coronation Street star Stephanie Beacham. Baldwin took some time in the diary room to reveal that he had a nice, platonic, healthy infatuation for the girl.

The public had without a doubt been waiting to see sparks fly between Katie Price beau Alex Reid and his former girlfriend Dane Bowers, only to be let down as the pair amicably hugged.

Meanwhile, 80s pop sensation Boy George, who had made an attempt to appear on the show despite his probation status only to be denied the opportunity by legal authorities, claimed to be glad to have been left out.

The singer posted a message on Tweeter during the evening that he was happy to be sitting at his mum’s house, watching the show while having tea and eating crisps.

Only three weeks after quitting the jungle show and announcing live to the world that she was splitting up with beau Alex Reid, Katie Price has done a full 180 and is now back with her cross dressing cage fighter.

The couple was featured as Simon Cowell’s surprise guests on the much awaited X Factor final, showing up during their first public date since the notorious I’m A Celebrity dump(ing).

In recent days, the media had been full of comments stemming from Price’s pals, both male and female, claiming the famous-for-being-famous-Jordan needs a real man, one who could stand up for himself and not be bashed about by a starlet.

Katie told reporters backstage at the talent show that she had reunited with Reid. She claimed to take it easy, adding that she didn’t really care what others said or thought.

The pair had apparently made vast efforts to avoid being seen together by the press as they entered the Fountain Studios, where the X Factor is produced.

As soon as they arrived at the studio, Alex jumped out of the car and hid in a McDonald’s while Jordan kept on driving and subsequently made her grand entrance at the venue. Reid eventually entered the studio through a side door and met up with his grill later inside.

Despite making huge attempts not to be seen entering the studios together, once inside, the couple were all over each other with obvious and long public displays of affection, a testimony to their rekindled intimacy.

A few weeks ago, Price had decided to quit the jungle show claiming that the public kept being cruel towards her by continuously voting her to perform horrible and disgusting tasks, many involving repulsive creepy crawlers.

Followed a surreal period where she just came short of begging ex-husband Peter Andre to take her back. The two had met on the same show a few years back and her second stint at the game had obviously stirred some vivid memories.
