The Big Brother housemates successfully completed their Chinese takeaway bingo test last night.

Following a temporary imprisonment in the bedroom, and with a mobile phone and giant board planted in the living room, the housemates were then told that each number on the board corresponded to a different Chinese culinary delight. The trouble was no one knew what they would end with.

Jeremy eventually found the mobile on the side of the walkway and quickly disclosed the details of the game to the other housemates.

The housemates were allowed to order two items of food by taking a lucky dip and underlining two numbers on their individual bingo cards attached to the board.

But the group had no idea what they had ordered until the takeaways were delivered.

Ever sceptical Caprice doubted whether the food would be appetising at all.

"I know we're going to have to eat something disgusting," she said.

Despite a feast of pork balls, rice, Szechuan chicken and crispy seaweed, Lisa said there must be something dodgy in store.

Earlier in the day, former Happy Monday's dancer Bez tried to go AWOL from the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Bez went walkabout in the garden hours after finding out John McCririck, not he, had been evicted.

Bez had wanted to drink himself silly to celebrate his new found freedom.

But after climbing a wall, Big Brother shouted at Bez to get down sharpish.

Bez insisted later he was just being nosy.

"You know what I'm like when I'm on my own. I just start messing around."

Bez's odds on winning have been cut to 8/1 from 10/1, but he is 8/11 favourite to be evicted next.
