CBB7: Vinnie And Alex Top Sun Poll

Day 27: It looks like it could be neck and neck between bookies favourite Alex Reid and previous favourite Vinnie Jones. Over 6,000 readers have voted in The Sun's online poll and Alex is narrowly leading with 38% of the vote. Vinnie Jones is just 7% behind him in what could become a nail biting CBB7 Final tonight.

Dane Bowers was voted into third place on 18% of readers votes, having slipped back in recent days. The only female left in the Big Brother house looks unlikely to win the reality show as Stephanie Beacham only has 8% of the vote. Surprisingly, Jonas Altberg finished last in The Sun poll with just 5%.

CBB7: Alex Wanted Peter Andre In Big Brother House

Day 27: Housemates were called to the Diary Room and asked various questions from Big Brother fans. Alex was asked if he could have chosen his most ideal celebrity housemate, who would it have been. Smiling as he pondered the question, Alex replied that his choice would have been Peter Andre, so that he could have cleared the air between them.

Dane Bowers was asked if he had kept the mystery key well hidden, he then produced the key from inside his pocket and confessed he had kept the key in his pocket the whole time. When he told Big Brother he had sometime wrapped the key in a sock, Big Brother asked him if he had done it to make his balls look bigger. He laughed and said he would have looked a bit lob sided if that was the case because it was "proper to the side". Big Brother replied, "it would look very big though!"

Jonas confessed that he had missed playing computer games and speaking Swedish most during his time in the Celebrity Big Brother house. Stephanie said she felt relieved to be the only woman left standing. She was 'knocked over backwards' that Sisqo and Dane had considered her fit. She told Big Brother she was far too conscious of being too fat at the moment, but flattered at being considered fit.

Finally Vinnie told Big Brother that he would like to win Celebrity Big Brother as he shared his thoughts. He said he had been honest with people inside the house and said he hadn't spoken behind people's backs during his time in the house.

CBB7: Why Vinnie WILL Win Celebrity Big Brother

As the end of Celebrity Big Brother approaches bookies and pundits have been speculating who will become the final winner of CBB7. In the first two weeks Vinnie Jones was the undisputed clear favourite to win, then events changed and the eviction of Sisqo proved a turning point.

This week Dane, Nicola and now Alex have favourites to win the show, but I think the public will vote Vinnie as the winner on Friday. My reasoning is this: The final show will attract many more viewers than a typical CBB7 broadcast, so many will be unaware of Vinnie's actions inside the Big Brother house. He will get their votes to win and also the votes from those who previously wanted him to win but swapped sides to Alex or Dane.

The Tree of Temptation Task will show a more human Vinnie and that will warm the heart of the voting public. at the end of the day, they will vote for Vinnie to win because he is the bigger character. While I didn't want him to become the winner (I always go against the norm!), I do think he'll win IF he doesn't put a foot wrong between now and Friday night!

CBB7: Vinnie Set Task By Tree Of Temptation

Day 25: At first Vinnie Jones refused to do a Task set by the Tree of Temptation. The Tree asked him to tell the housemates over lunch how much he had bonded with them all, and how he has made better friends with the people in the house than he has outside.

The Tree also wanted Vinnie to humiliate himself by taking Alex aside and telling him that he has also secretly cross dressed in the past, and that he had loved it.

Most of all, The Tree wanted tears from Vinnie - something the tough man was not prepared to do. The Tree warned that the housemates would feel the wrath of the Tree if he didn't comply with the request. Vinnie finally agreed to complete the Task, his reward will be watching a game of football.

CBB7: Vinnie Says Sisqo Had A Lucky Escape

Day21: Vinnie Jones warned Stephanie that he would have put Sisqo through a window in the old days. The former footballer was still angry with Sisqo for the things he had said after a few drinks, where Sisqo challenged Vinnie as the 'daddy of the house'.

Stephanie on the other hand was full of praise for the 30 year old singer, whom had achieved so much coming from a difficult background. Viewers saw Vinnie threatening to go to his solicitor because of Sisqo's words earlier this week. The hard man of the house is still firm favourite to win CBB7 on Friday, but recent events have damaged is chances slightly.

CBB7: Vinnie Calls House Meeting

Day 13: Vinnie Jones continues to assert himself as the 'Daddy' of the Celebrity Big Brother house after calling a house meeting. He was not happy that standards were falling and wanted things to change.

Once again it was Lady Sovereign in the firing line from Vinnie as he singled her out with the corned beef incident. Lady Sov fought back and defended her choice when to eat and what to eat. Vinnie told her she was, "missing the point as usual." He then told her he was speaking generally and told her not to isolate it.

Vinnie then told Lady Sov it was her who, "it's mainly you who are putting a spanner in the works." But she disagreed and told him, "I don't think so". Eventually Stephen Baldwin got the housemates to vote in agreement about complying to be on the team.

CBB7: Snores Wars

Day 13: The bitching has gone up a level as housemates continue back-biting over who is snoring the most at night. As previously reported, Lady Sov was not happy with Stephanie's snoring late into the night.

This morning Vinnie and Stephanie moaned about the other housemates snoring, as Vinnie told Stephanie that Lady Sov had moved her bed into the living area as she complained about Stephanie's snoring. He then told her that he'd woken up a few hours later and Lady Sovereign was snoring herself, Vinnie put it down to the alcohol.

The Snores Wars continued with Stephanie complaining about Ivana's snoring but said she understood why Alex (Rocky) snored and felt bad about her own snoring.

CBB7: Vinnie Wins Luxury Items

Day 11: Big Brother knew Vinnie Jones was not happy after the Corned Beef row, so decided to cheer him up by setting him a quiz about the Big Brother Welcome Pack. After all, he has spent most of his time reading the pack so it should be plain sailing for the popular housemate.

He passed the task by answering nine out of the eleven questions correctly, winning luxury prizes for each of the housemates. Vinnie chose purple hair dye for Lady Sov, a cuddly toy for Nicola and a packet of instant soup for Dane. Viewers of CBB7 were able to help choose items via the official Twitter page.

CBB7: Corned Beef Food War

Day 11: Finally it is all kicking off in the Big Brother house as divisions, cracks and arguments erupt - all over a tin of corned beef. Just to recap on our earlier story: Lady Sov wanted to eat the corned beef, Vinnie said it was for everyone and then refused to be involved with the meal making.

Now Dane Bowers has been sucked into the argument as he told Vinny he disagreed with his view, saying Vinnie couldn't just say "No". Vinnie took control and asked Dane and Nicola if they thought he and Stephanie were lying. It now looks like Dane, Nicola and Lady Sov will have to prepare all the meals until Sunday as Vinnie refused to cook.

Dane had told Lady Sov earlier that if the food rations needed to last longer than Sunday, she would be lynched. She replied by saying, "I don't care, lynch me!"

CBB7: Vinnie Lays Into Housemates

Day 11: It seems like Vinnie Jones has had enough of certain housemates and shared his thoughts with Stephanie Beacham. Top of his rant list is Lady Sovereign, who he exposed yesterday as the Food Thief. He told Stephanie that Lady Sov's swearing and sulking were out of order and predicted that the public would see the real Sov and she would be evicted. Heidi Fleiss was also at the receiving end of his rant, saying she didn't get involved or join in. Nicola and Katia were also slammed by the ex-footballer.

The CBB7 housemates are having to cope with food rations after rule breaking and failing this weeks Shopping Task, so it was no wonder Lady Sov felt hungry. She wanted to tuck into some corned beef but it prompted a few comments from other housemates, who told her to ask Vinnie if it was OK. Vinnie told her it was meant to be one of the dinners for the week. He told Stephanie, "it's all about her", as he told Lady Sov to get on with it and stop asking him what to do.

CBB7: Vinnie Exposes Food Thief

Day 10: Vinnie Jones took it upon himself to call a house meeting and finally expose the food thief in the CBB7 house. First it was teabags and now beans - enough was enough, Vinnie wanted to find out who had been hiding the food.

He told housemates that the Tree of Temptation had spoken to Alex and himself, saying that Big Brother wanted the thief to own up now or all the housemates would be punished. The housemates looked on horrified at each other, Stephanie was the first to insist the culprit owned up. Lady Sovereign asked, "What, we gotta own up now?"

Stephanie wanted the thief to confess now and it wasn't long before Lady Sov finally confessed saying, "Yeah I did it.... I was bored." Her reasoning was a little bit patchy as she explained that she had been bored running around the garden with her Grannie mobile. "I hid a tin of beans in the garden, whoopee!"

Vinnie was unimpressed and quizzed Lady Sov further asking her if she had intended to eat the beans later, she denied that saying, "No I wouldn't eat them, I just put 'em there. I ain't gonna sit there and eat cold beans." Vinnie then asked if the tin of beans had been the only thing that had gone missing, Lady Sov replied with a yes. Vinnie left the room saying, "Not very nice Sov, I gotta be honest."

CBB7: Katia In Tears

Day 10: It's been an emotional day for Katia, she was reduced to tears after Alex Reid teased her about her relationship with Jonas in the CBB7 house. Vinnie Jones and Jonas Altberg looked on as Alex told Katia that the one thing that would save her from eviction on Friday, would be her romance on Big Brother. He told her she could be the new 'Katie and Peter'.

Getting upset, Katia told Alex she didn't want to be the new Katie and Peter, she wanted to be herself, just Kat. Alex continued by asking, "You can't deny those feelings you had too start with, that initial attraction." Jonas then piped up with, "You're in here because of a public relationship." At that point a visibly upset Katia got up and left saying, "I don't want to talk about it."

Alex apologised as Katia left and then came under heavy fire from Vinnie and Dane who both agreed that it had been funny at the start but Alex had gone too far, especially bringing Jonas into the conversation.
