African adventure: New housemate Laura, seen here soaking up the sun in her pink and white bikini, had to tell Dave she was nearly trampled by an elephant

They've only been in the house for less than 24 hours.

But the new Big Brother housemates have already endeared themselves to the current contestants by winning everyone a big party for the house this evening.

Jo, JJ and Laura, who arrived in the house last night, were given a special and secret task to do by Big Brother this morning.

They each had to tell minister Dave a story about themselves and must be repeated to him three times in its entirety, but were given a key word to include in their tale.

And if Dave twigged that they were making it up, or it was part of a task, they would fail.

Sales assistant Laura, 20, was told to mention an elephant, so she told Dave she was travelling in Africa and was riding an elephant when she fell off and it nearly trod on her head, so she went home.

Baptism of fire: Jo tells Dave she wanted to get christened wheb she was 20 but was too immodestly dressed in just swimming trunks

Make-up artist Jo, 41, had to work in the word 'swimming trunks', so fed a tale to Dave that when she was 20 years old, she decided to get baptised.

But she was only wearing swimming trunks at the time so she was refused a baptism because the congregation were upset about her immodesty.

Boxer JJ, 23, had one of the most difficult phrases to use - he had to use the name of the Welsh town of Merthyr Tydfil in his tale.

He told Dave he had his 'JJ' tattoo, which is on his lower back, inked in the town.

Big Brother later informed the newcomers that they had successfully repeated their story, including their given words, three times in two hours, and therefore had passed their task.

Housemates then gathered in the living room this evening as Big Brother provided them with costumes, sweets and chocolates - and alcohol of course.

Big Brother even gave housemates a camera, as Corin declared: 'This is the best party ever!'

Meanwhile, love is back for Josie and John James after they both admitted their feelings for each other today.

The two cosied up for an intimate discussion under covers and professed their love in the early hours of the morning.

John James told Josie: 'I want to spend time with you', before insisting: 'You know how much I care about you.'

Declaration: John James told Josie that he loves her

Later, on the verge of sleep, the 24-year-old Australian went further and whispered: 'I love you, Jos.'

Lifting her head to look at him, she asked: 'Did you just say something?'

He replied: 'I said I love you, Josie', before she replied: 'Oh, I love you too, John.'

But later on that day, she was accused of playing games by new housemate JJ, after she told him: 'I'm a bit of a boxer WAG. Not that I'm trying to crack onto you or anything but I was just saying......'

He replied: 'You're just playing a game against John James ... You're like winding him up so he comes a bit closer to you. I know your game.'
