The Big Brother housemates performed in a play yesterday, taking on roles with which they should be familiar - each other.

With Anthony playing Roberto and Craig playing Anthony, the pair relived a blazing argument. A strangely Geordie Roberto said: "Bring it on, you mother funky."

"Howay man," said a camp, crimping Anthony.

Kinga played Orlaith and used all her intelligence and talent to utter the immortal words: "I'm this close to walking out."

Meanwhile Eugene played his old gun-slinging buddy Derek, and politely suggested that Anthony return to a coalmine.

After the performance the cast was rewarded with an after-show party, but viewers were spared further histrionics since the beer and wine was secretly non-alcoholic.

Cue interminably boring story from Eugene: "Me and some of my car friends, they wanted to buy this Daimler with a flagpole coming out of it . . . "

The nation remains enthralled.
