Fuelled by booze from the post-task celebration hamper and too much free time on their hands, the Big Brother housemates have been making merry.

The bickering and backstabbing has stopped as the quartet have some fun and frolics in the final week of their confinement.

Even old enemies Jonny and Alex have bonded at last. The only males left in the house after ginger Tim's eviction, they enjoyed an evening of wine, women and song. That included removing the girls' bikinis in the pool and singing their favourite film tunes.

Later, there were bedroom antics, which must please Channel 4 as it looks to maintain viewer interest - and ratings - in the final week.

After Jade retired to the bedroom, Alex joined Kate under the duvet on the sofa. Jonny, who'd been preparing hot milk and croissants, returned to ask: "What's going on under there, like?"

After a mammoth tooth-brushing session (who says life in the house is dull?), Kate climbed into Tim's double bed and was soon joined by the boys.

What happened next resembled a French farce - Alex fell out of bed, Jonny left the couple to it, then crept to the foot of the bed and tickled their feet.

Mumbling "I feel left out", he tried to get into bed with Jade. She was having none of it, returning to the sofa, her favourite sleeping place.

Evicted Tim gets 'lonely heart' votes

EVEN though the public voted overwhelmingly to boot Tim Culley out of the Big Brother house, he will be glad to know that someone loves him.

As revealed in The Northern Echo last week, the exUniversity of Durham student was at the centre of an Internet dating agency mystery.

A page on match-making site One and Only boasts of Tim's "good looks and lots of money", made apparently during his international modelling days.

It was unclear if the advert attracted much interest previously, but since it was discovered by the media last Wednesday more than 700 people have posted e-mail messages on it.

A spokesman for One and Only said he was sure the messages were authentic.
