One of the main rules of Celebrity Big Brother - and indeed all Big Brother - is that you CAN'T HAVE CONTACT WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD. It's as fundamental as, oh we don't know, taking bikinis in for jacuzzi sessions. Or getting in a flap over the shopping.
So we were especially confused when we saw Spencer Pratt tweeting overnight last night, saying he 'can't sleep'. All this despite being in the CBB house. Do they even get reception in the basement?
But then we remembered the small matter of Spencer 'losing his phone' earlier this week, and a large amount of tweeting about it. HMMM.
Spencer - sorry, 'Spencer' continued to post messages last night with tweets like: 'Everyone treats this s*it as if it were sacred. It's all a game. So I can tweet. So what? Heidi's right here telling me what to write.'
As he was asked questions about it, he said: 'Can we PLEASE just get back to discussing more important things. Don't blow a fuse over nothing. It's just how reality tv goes' and 'Listen, tweeps, keep calm and carry on. This is perfectly explainable. I have been allowed to tweet as a plot device in the season.'
He added: 'For the love of God & for the LAST time, I found my phone in Heidi's purse!! Getting so very tired of this.The show's writers are working right now on a cover story to play with you. Don't be surprised if I deny all this on next week's show.'
And later on Friday morning, he added: 'Thanks for the concern. No hacking here. Actually it's good I found my phone. Contacts, pictures, all sorts of things some1 might want.
oh and no-one as gone home shes gone upstairs
She was the first person into the Celebrity Big Brother basement on Thursday's launch show, and now she's the first person out.
Paula Hamilton has been removed from the grimy CBB basement, escaping up to the plush house, after falling ill.
The 51-year-old, who was banished to the basement with six other contestants to live in squalor, complained to show producers that she was feeling unwell and has since been let out and moved upstairs to join the others.
ps is back with the gossip
