'Touch wood our marriage doesn't break up': Sally Bercow expresses frustration over expectations of public life

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER



Heart to heart: Sally Bercow 'touched wood' when Paddy Doherty said it was good her marriage to John Bercow had survived his high-profile job



Sally Bercow's decision to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house didn't go down well with her Speaker husband John.



But when housemate Paddy Doherty suggested it was good their marriage had survived his high-profile political role and her outspoken tweeting, she didn't look so confident.



During a heart-to-heart in the garden with Paddy, Sally lamented about how hard it had been since her husband John had become Speaker two years ago.



When the My Big Fat Gypsy Weddings star told her she was very self-critical of herself, Sally replied: 'It's only since John became speaker, I'm expected to do certain things.



'When I tweeted about Big Brother, loads of people were like "You're going to bring the Speaker down."'



When Paddy suggested it was 'good your marriage doesn't break up', she touched wood and said: 'God forbid!'



She added: 'It's difficult being the wife of a politician because you're expected to behave a certain way. I'd love to be one, but I couldn't hack it.'





'I'm expected to do certain things': Sally claimed she felt restricted by her husband's job





Sally is up for eviction in this Friday's show and is convinced she'll be the first to leave.



Earlier that day, she had a go at Jedward, accusing them of using all her shampoo.

She ranted: 'You used all my shampoo and your hair still looks c**p... On Planet Jedward nothing matters, except their hair.'



Last night's episode started off with paparazzo Darryn Lyons waking up to find the kitchen a mess after Lucien and Bobby's late night prank.





Rude awakening: One of the twins and Paddy don't react well when they're woken by a noisy alarm and lights





Unfairly, Jedward got the initial blame, until the housemates began to blame Big Brother for putting chickpeas in the cornflakes.





'On Planet Jedward nothing matters... except their hair': Sally was unimpressed when the twins used all her shampoo





When Bobby and Lucien were called to the Diary Room and asked by Big Brother if they'd been naughty, they admitted they had.



During an afternoon conversation in the garden, Katona alleged she had been hacked by News Of The World journalists before the tabloid's demise.



While acknowledging they helped her rise to fame, she also blamed them for ruining her career for publishing her drug scandal photos, leading to Iceland cancelling their contract with her.



She said: 'They literally destroyed what career I had left... I think they made me more famous than Atomic Kitten... I was a bit of a f**k up anyway.'



She also addressed the infamous This Morning episode in 2008, insisting her slurring was down to her bipolar medication.





Reliving the past: Kerry Katona recalled her infamous appearance on This Morning, when she appeared to be slurring on TV





But she addressed coming off the drugs 'it was like a cloud had been lifted... I'm not on my medication any more.'



Throughout the day, Amy shared various inane conversations with John and Edward.



When she asked them if they could drive, they replied: 'We can drive, but we don't have a driver's licence. I haven't done (the test yet).'



Another one saw one of the twins asking Amy if she would be their Bond girl if they were James Bond.





Crude: Amy refused to use the dishcloth, claiming one of the female housemates had used it to clean her nether regions





However, they were soon shot down when she declared: 'You're more like Britney than James Bond.'



When the duo were doing the washing-up later, she confused them when she claimed one of the dish cloths had been used to wash someone's nether regions.



She said: 'Someone's been washing their vag' with that... their Minnie... it's not clean... because its on the floor.'



Bonding over their respective failed marriages, Pamela admitted she'd never had a one-night stand, while Kerry confessed she had one when 'I was only a kid... I was young.'





Paranoid: Tara believes Darryn hates her and would 'poison' her... but then clears the air





Meanwhile, Tara was growing paranoid about Darryn 'hating her'.



Speaking to fellow housemates in the garden, she said: 'He's the hardest on me all the time. He's got a vendetta against me all the time. Its obvious.'



When Sally interjected: 'Darryn's a man's man. I don't think he relates to women...'



Tara replied: 'I honestly think he'd poison my food... I don't give a s**t but if he's trying to get to me it's working a little bit.'





Getting creative: Pamela turns a bedsheet into a dress for the Midsummer's Night Dream-themed fashion show





How do I look?: The twins measure each other up for their creations





She eventually decided to confront him in the kitchen, when he insisted he didn't have a problem with her and he had been joking, explaining: 'It's my weird sense of humour.'



Next the group were set a task in honour of Sally's infamous bedsheet photoshoot, to create a fashion show in the theme of a Midsummer's Night Dream.



As male model Bobby sashayed down the catwalk with his top bare - both Amy and Tara were spotted giving him a good look.





Strike a pose: Amy looks vacant as she sashays down the make-shift catwalk





Going Native: Tara was inspired by Pocahontas for her design





Sally described Jedward's bizarre outfits as 'Superman meets Lois Lane'.



Describing her own bedsheet outfit to Big Brother in the Diary Room, she said: 'This is the classic bedsheet. Any one can to do this at home. I'm so pleased I can showcase my designs.



'I hope my husband who I love very much will be proud of his fashion designer wife.'





Missing his missus: Paddy paid tribute to his wife Roseanne after missing the couple's 34th wedding anniversary





'A cross between Superman and Lois Lane': Jedward appeared to perform a contemporary dance on the catwalk





Clearly having a bit of fun teasing the twins, Amy suggested Jedward should join her for a night-time cuddle.



Edward said: 'A-OK. I'll probably take you down and you wanna escape... I'll probably break you. Knock you in half... I didn't turn her down, I'm making her want more.'



When he eventually changed his mind and climbed in next to her, he played up to the room: 'Shall we go under the sheet and go for it... it's so warm under here. What pants are you wearing? She's got no pants on.'





Predicable: Sally admitted she knew there would be a bedsheet-themed task in the house





'I hope my husband's proud': Sally sent a message to her husband following her fashion show





Amy appeared to get carried away and start imagining them as a couple in a weekly magazine shoot: 'Could you imagine me and John in OK! magazine?'



She then tried to stir up the twins by accusing Edward of putting his hand on one of her surgically-enhanced breasts, he replied: 'My hand's here. They're not on your boobs.'



After they were joined by John, Darryn suggested Amy date both of them.



But Edward was horrified: 'You can't go out with two people at the same time.'

That's how an Essex girl co-ordinates! Amy Childs is polka-perfect in pink with matching bikini and rollers

By HOLLY THOMAS



Full points for effort! Though there was barely anything of it Amy Childs had clearly put a lot of thought into her outfit



She's only been in the Big Brother house for a few days, but it's already becoming impossible to keep up with Amy Childs' ever changing outfits.



Nevertheless, it'll be tough to forget this polka pink wonder, which Amy has cleverly co-ordinated with her Barbie doll-esque rollers.



Clearly Amy doesn't intend to let her BB bikini commitments interfere with her beauty regime.



Her dedication to grooming indicates that she hasn't left her TOWIE roots behind- she famously ran a beauty salon in Essex while on the show.







Whaddya think? Amy raised her sunglasses to check that her her outfit was getting the attention it deserved





The bubblegum pink rollers and bikini set against her Rihanna-red hair and oversized sunglasses made an exceptionally girlie look.



Amy's dedication to her appearance is notorious. A firm believer that every area of the body deserves to be embellished, the 21-year-old can be held largely responsible for the massive surge in popularity of the 'vajazzle', after she decorated her friend Sam Faiers' with one on TOWIE.





A little shade please? Perhaps Amy was hoping that her fellow housemate would protect her eyes from the sun





The ruthless beautician has threatened to apply one to fellow housemate Sally Bercow.



And although she was pipped to the post by Tara Reid, who was the first in the house to don a two piece on camera, Amy has certainly made up for lost time, showing off her fabulous figure in an array of revealing ensembles.



Her canny approach to the house so far suggests that she may not have been entirely truthful when she told Brian Dowling before entering the house: 'I really am ditzy. I really don't think before I speak.'





Taking notes: Pamela Bach Hasselhoff seemed to be copying Amy's tips for a perfect 'do





Stylish take: Amy stripped down to a bed sheet in a nod to Sally Berow for a fashion show task





Amy is clearly a natural in front of the camera.



Amy Tara and Kerry bonded during a sauna session over the weekend, indulging in a little girl talk away from prying male ears.



As ever, there is speculation as to who will hook up while in the BB house, and Amy certainly fueled this during the intimate chat.





Piling in: Kerry Katona tried to play matchmaker for Lucien Laviscount and Amy







Hopeful: Lucien confided in paparazzo Darryn Lyons that he had already developed feelings for Amy





Too young: Any told Kerry that she thought Lucien was hot, but too young for her at 19





Chatting to Kerry about who she found attractive, Amy said she was single but was quick to add: 'He's got a good body though doesn't he? What's his name? Lu,' referring to 19-year-old housemate Lucien.



But while she might have seemed interested she also coyly added that she thought he was too young for her.



Lucien might be disappointed to hear this, having confessed last night to paparazzo Darryn Lyons that he thinks 'she's an amazing girl,' and 'I can't stop thinking about her.'





Chums already: Amy was getting cosy with Jedward, who looked only too happy to cuddle up





Chores: Still in her polka bikini Amy joins the other housemates to discuss a cleaning rota





Prior to entering the house Amy admitted that she wouldn't be adverse for finding love during her time on Big Brother.



The opportunity has certainly presented itself today as she and Lucien have been tasked with pretending to be a couple.



And if she carries on flaunting her bikini body it may not be long before love finds her.





Down and dirty: Despite claims that her husband does the cleaning at home, Sally was a dab hand when it came to chores





Worry: Sally is afraid that she will look like a fool if she is the first housemate evicted

That's a LOT of shampoo! Jedward almost unrecognisable as ditch their quiffs for the day on CBB after washing their hair

By JODY THOMPSON



Sorry, and you are? Jedward were almost unrecognisable today in the Celebrity Big Brother house after decided to ditch their quiffs and have flat hair for the day



It's a sight akin to the moment Dorothy pulls back the curtain to reveal that the fearsome Wizard Of Oz is just a meek and mild man with a microphone.



But Celebrity Big Brother fans weren't seeing things today - Jedward really did have flat hair.



The 19-year-old twins made the momentous decision to ditch their infamous quiffs for one day only after realising they had to wash their hair on camera.





Don't block the sink: The pair had made the momentous decision after washing each other's hair in the morning





Suits you: The pair then tried out numerous different hairstyles





The pair had to gird their loins however, and spent some time geeing themselves up in the CBB house bathroom to work up the courage to rinse all the hairspray and gel out of their dos and go au naturel.





Public unmasking: The pair realised that they'd have to be seen without their usual hairstyles as they had to wash their hair on camera





The boys - real names John and Edward Grimes - eventually decided that the time was right and said: 'We can do this, are you ready?'



To which the twin getting rinsed in what had temporarily become the Jedward salon said worriedly: 'Get more shampoo!'





Drama: The pain of going without their quiffs was etched on their faces for all to see





Hair raising: The twins love their usual style so much they gave housemate Kerry Katona the same do yesterday





The washer assured him: 'I'm going to get as much shampoo as I can. How much shampoo do you need? Okay you stay here, I'm going to get even more shampoo.'



However, the washee then suddenly became increasingly brave, and declared: 'We should have our hair flat today.'



His brother gasped: 'Yeah?'



But his sibling was resolute. 'Totally.'



And so it was decided, with Jedward declaring: 'Today's a big day! Our hair's flat!'



They were then interrupted from their flat hair revelations when The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs slunk in wearing just a towel and with her hair in curlers after having a shower.





What a lovely pair: Amy Childs and Lucian Lasviscount were pretending to be a couple today - and avoiding the paparazzi





He loves me, he loves me not: Lucien was pretending to be infatuated with Amy - or was he?





Historical romance: The pair appeared to be in character as Anthony and Cleopatra





Amy was perhaps making sure she looked at her best for Coronation Street star and fellow housemate Lucien Lasviscount.



Both of them said they'd be up for romance in the house before then went in - and it seems their fellow contestants are keen to see them paired off as a couple.



As the inmates larked around in the garden, paparazzi boss Darryn Lyons gushed: 'Don't they make a lovely couple?' and then pretended to be back at work and asked them to pose together.





Love is in the air: Paddy Doherty also got a call from his long-suffering wooo-man as it was their wedding anniversary





Lucien seemed more than happy to put his arms around Amy's shoulders and waist, but then TOWIE star Amy jokingly squealed: 'Oh my god, there's a pap!' and the pair pulled apart.



The spent the rest of the day play-acting that they were in fact a couple - with Lucien pretending to be infatuated with the redheaded beautician, while wearing an interesting wig.



And in other romantic CBB news, Paddy Doherty got a call from his long-suffering wife today - on what was their wedding anniversary.



The latest Celebrity Big Brother round-up is on tonight on Channel Five at 10pm.

That's a wrap! Jedward invent new dance while dressed in bandages for 'mummy task' as Mohamed Al Fayed makes guest appearance in the house

By JODY THOMPSON



Dance like an Egyptian: Jedward try and invent a new dance after being convinced that today's 'mummy task' would involve some choreography



Jedward were not so much walking as dancing like Egyptians today on Celebrity Big Brother as housemates were forced to wear bandage-like mummy costumes.



However, the contestants were initially left in the dark as to why they'd been dolled up in fancy dress as Big Brother failed to reveal what the actual task was.



As a result, hyperactive John and Edward decided that the mission must be to do a little dance - so they started putting together their own unique choreography.





Dancing to their own beat: The 19-year-old twins appeared to have their own shared inner beatbox





In tune: The pair appeared to have perfected a routine as they threw shapes together





Their interpretation of what it meant to be a mummy unsurprisingly involved jumping around a lot, as fellow bandaged-up housemates Darryn Lyons, Bobby Sabel and Paddy Doherty looked on laughing hysterically.



Ever practical Paddy however chimed in asking how they knew what the task was going to be.



He queried: 'How do you know what we're gonna do? Are we going to be doing what you're doing?'







Undead: The housemates were bandaged up further and then had to rise up on the sound of the gong





Special guest: Real-life Egyptian Mohamed Al Fayed was in the house to start the competition





Jedward exclaimed: 'We're telepathic! Or else we're probably going to just bury each other.'



They then had another think, and exclaimed: 'Oh my god, oh my god, someone's clearly going to be in a mummy, and we're probably going to have to unbandage someone then we'll find it's another housemate!'



The housemates had earlier moaned when they put on their costumes, with Tara Reid moaning: 'I look like I'm wearing a top hat.'





Shuuuutup! Amy Childs didn't look very happy at covering up her red locks with a bandage hat





Celebrities unwrapped: All the 11 housemates had to break free of their bandages and stand up as part of the task





Priorities: Tara Reid made sure she still put on her jewellery over the bandages





However, they all got stuck in, even putting on make-up to make themselves look more mummified.



After more bandaging however, they were instructed to lie in the CBB garden.



Former Harrods owner and real-life Egyptian Mohamed Al Fayed then made a guest appearance in the house as the task was finally revealed.





Helping hand: A laughing Al Fayed tries to help up a stricken housemate





In a game that owed a little to escapology, once Al Fayed - dressed in full pharaonic regalia - banged a gong, they had to break free of their bandages and stand up, with the last to rise from the dead deemed the loser.



To mass hilarity all round, Al Fayed proclaimed: 'Mummifed housemates, on hearing the gong, you may begin to rise.'



However, Amy Childs and Kerry Katona are laughing so hard, they don't seem to be able to even stand up.



The live episode of Celebrity Big Brother is on Channel Five tonight at 9.15pm.





Day 3: Jedward Mummy Dance

Pass the soap! Jedward lather up a storm as they get into the Big Brother house spirit with a JOINT BUBBLE BATH

By HOLLY THOMAS



Need the sponge? John/Edward seems to be gazing rather intently into his twin's eyes in this rather strange shot



Being the Big Brother house, it was never going to be too long before a couple of guests grabbed an intimate bathtime moment.



But it wasn't romance on the agenda for the first pair brave enough to get under the bubbles (and cameras).



Never-dull duo Jedward eschewed their housemates and whacked out the smellies for a soap-sudded first day chez Big Brother.



The twins appeared perfectly comfortable sharing the (not very big) tub as they relaxed after what must have been an exhausting day.





What do you think John? The twins appeared to be considering an evening dip, testing the temperature with sock-clad toes



And not content to stay indoors, they also took their watery hijinks outdors when they woke up early the following morning, braving a dip in the swanky new pool.



They tested the water (oddly with sock-clad feet) first to decide whether they were man enough to take the plunge, then bravely stripped out of their smart suits to face the unusually chilly August air.





Water babies: Jedward got into the spirit of things immediately, putting on their (naturally) matching shorts

Naturally they were decked out in matching nautical style striped trunks for the entire experience.





Their gravity-defying hairdos remained immobile as ever, as pert after their dip as they were when they entered the house.



At one point it appeared that one twin was taking things rather more seriously than the other, glaring crossly at his brother, who was splashing him while he was attempting to swim lengths.



But all thoughts of exercise were soon far from both their minds as they lay back side by side and peacefully took in their surroundings.





You first! One of them takes the plunge as the other adjusts his trunks...





Little nippy: The boys looked a bit old, understandably since last night was unusually cold for August

Jedward are famous for their tendency to do everything together.





When news emerged that there were only going to be 11 beds available for the 12 housemates,the twins apparently exclaimed that it wouldn't be a problem as they insisted on sharing a bed anyway.



And who could forget the infamous moment on X Factor, when in reply to a question about their love lives John replied: 'We haven't really had a girlfriend, like a proper girlfriend.'







That's not funny: One twin seemed in a jokey mood, while the other was more interested in getting some lengths done





Chilled out: The pair appeared pretty relaxed about their new digs, in contrast to some of the other housemates





But despite their closeness, they seem to be getting on well with the other housemates.



The pair were excited to discover that Kerry Katona's hairstyle bore a remarkable resemblance to their trademark quiffs, and bonded with the singer and reality star over their matching 'dos.



They had much less trouble understanding the Warrington girl's accent than American Tara Reid, who couldn't even make out Kerry's name when they first met.





Is that a goblin under the bridge? No, it's Jedward!





Like triplets! Jedward were fascinated by the similarity between their trademark quiffs and fellow housemate Kerry Katona's hairstyle





Let's hope their high maintenance styles don't cause any unforeseen rifts. Jedward may provide some competition for the girls, having declared that they are prepared to 'fight for hairspray' with the girls.



They boys admitted they used up to a bottle a day.



Many are doubtless curious as to how the boys' crops look au naturel, but it may be a while before they find out. When one of the twins looked up after being disturbed in his sleep, the cameras caught his quiff in all its usual glory.





Night terror? One of the twins appeared to be disturbed in the night, though incredibly his hair remained intact





They're grrrrreat! The twins didn't disappoint when they rocked up to the house wearing tigger-esque tailcoats and panda-topped trainers
