The world cup may have ended for England, but Big Brother is still going strong.

Following Govan’s unexpected eviction from the house on Friday the housemates were set a new task- using look-alike puppets to communicate with each other and Big Brother.

According to the rules housemates are only permitted to communicate with each other using the puppets and can only take them off when showering or in the swimming pool.

When picking up their puppets the housemates were stunned to see how closely the toys resembled them. Corin’s puppet has a tanned (orange) face while Steve’s has a false eye and Dave’s wears his infamous brown cloak.

However suspicion was created amongst some of the housemates with Mario’s puppet dressed as a mole, causing speculation that there is still a mole within the house.

Since getting the puppets on Sunday Ben’s has lost its legs, Josie’s puppet has enjoyed a snog with Steve’s puppet and Sunshine has made up a puppet rap in attempt to cheer everyone up.

However a lot is riding on the task. If the housemates successfully pass ‘puppet on a string’ they will win a birthday party for Steve.

Other BB news-rumours are rife that the winner of this year’s series will go head to head with previous Big Brother winners for a truly spectacular ending to the once ground breaking television series.
