Big Brother 9: five housemates fall sick, as Luke celebrates his birthday

Not that those two events are related, you understand.

Five Big Brother housemates - Luke, Stu, Bex, Sara and Belinda - are now ill with either dizziness or diarrhoea. Mind you, cycling for 520 miles between them without sleep or food probably contributed to the whole "dizziness" thing.

"As always, the health and welfare of all the housemates is of utmost importance to us," said a Channel 4 spokesperson in response to the sickly household. "Housemates are monitored 24 hours a day by producers and are encouraged to talk to Big Brother whenever they feel unwell and require medical attention."

Bed-ridden Luke, meanwhile, managed to find the strength to celebrate his 21st birthday yesterday. His party had a French theme, too - his selected guests wore berets and false moustaches and dined on smelly cheese and wine - and of course the party talk soon turned to sex, with Bex memorably uttering the phrase: "I have never had a man s*** on my face and I never will". Ah, Big Brother. Plus ca change, plus c'est le meme chose, eh?
