You wanted it. You shouted about it. You shouted about it some more. And finally you got it back. Well, sort of.
Channel 5 revives the much-loved and much-missed Big Brother Live Feed this evening for one hour of unfiltered entertainment from inside the famous Elstree Studios compound.
We will also be going back to its BB roots and live-blogging all the activities from Frankie Cocozza, Michael Madsen and co. Stick with us all evening to keep up-to-date on the fall-out from the first eviction of the series.
23.03 Oh well, that's it then. Bit of an abrupt ending there Channel 5. I'm not sure I'd call that little live burst a success but, hey, I know how in demand any kind of feed has been, so I hope you're all nice and satisfied. Let us known in the comments what you thought and be sure to join Digital Spy for our next lot of live updates on Friday night. Cheerio.
22.59 Denise and the twins are debating the Anglo/American split over how to pronounce the word "supposedly". Or is it "supposABLY?" Either way, it's a bit tedious - but we do have our first live name drop. Denise says her old Dancing on Ice partner Matt Evers says it the second way.
22.57 Kirk's out of the Diary Room and Romeo's in the bedroom having just stepped out of the shower.
22.54 Time for our last slice of live BB action to get under way. Nicola asks Gareth if he has a boyfriend, but he says he doesn't want to talk about it. Nicola suggests they have an "honest Monday" to let it all out. "That is an honest Monday on its own," Gareth says of his love life. "The whole day". Nicola squeals in anticipation.
22.47 The group are shaken by a particularly stern-sounding Big Brother asking Kirk to come to the Diary Room. "I quite like the forceful one," Denise says. A Loose Woman to the core.
22.45 Gareth and Nicola are in the bedroom. He says he'd feel upset to be singled out for eviction by one person like she was, but Nicola claims she was prepared for Georgia to nominate her. "I knew she'd pick me because she doesn't like me," she says. "If my time's up, my time's up. I'm not going to make it awkward or have a worse time."
22.41 Natasha is wondering whether Frankie could get into her jeans. Make your own jokes.
22.38 We're back in the house. The girls are all out in the garden having some wine time. Natalie and one of the twins are planning a late night work out.
22.33 Ad break. Can you believe we're already halfway through our live feed allowance? And the housemates have only just gotten started on the alcohol!
22.32 Kirk's giving Romeo a shoulder massage and Michael's making some strange groaning noises somewhere secret... this live feed has suddenly turned a little lewd.
22.30 Natalie says the twins came to her asking how much alcohol they were allowed, which apparently is very "sweet" of them. She thinks they're going to find it "harder and harder" in the house.
22.27 Waaay, our first burst of bird song! Brings a tear to my eye!
22.26 Denise says that although it must be "horrible" to be voted out first, Andrew was probably the right choice as he "is a camp guy [and is] very different to the dynamic in this house".
22.24 Georgia is still coming down from her rollercoaster night and lights up a much-needed fag. She claims she expected to go, but then every housemate to have survived an eviction says that.
22.22 In the garden, Frankie tells Romeo that he would have refused to nominate and taken the punishment. "That was f**king evil," he later tells Georgia. "I couldn't believe it".
22.21 And we're back. Denise's domestic goddess side has come out, pointing at the dirty kitchen and declaring "we're gonna have a couple of drinks... f**k this".
22.17 Well, it's time for our first ad break and so far... nothing's happened. Why did you all want this back, again? Joking aside, are you happy to be tuning in to the live feed once more? Leave your comments below.
22.15 For some reason, the cameras have zoomed in on Frankie's treasure trail as the housemates change in the bedroom. How about that, you can get the Holly 'Geordie Shore' Hagan experience from the comfort of your sofa. Amazing.
22.13 Big Brother orders housemates to change out of their fairytale outfits. He's been a well bossy so and so tonight - nominate this, take off that. Rude. Michael wants to keep his on for a few more days.
22.12 Big Brother opens the storeroom and housemates are granted three whole drinks. Natalie's reminding them all to drink sensibly.
22.08 Nicola's reacting well to her nominations - throwing a diva strop about the lack of alcohol. "One drink is not a party," she says. Natalie campaigns for Georgia to get a drink to steady her nerves, as well. Poor lamb.
22.07 "You had to pick two people and its absolutely fine," Nicola adds to her. "Just have a great time". Kirk's 'fragile young girl-sense' starts tingling and he's in there like a shot with a sneaky hug. Essex boys, eh.
22.05 Georgia makes her exit from the Diary Room and hugs are exchanged as she apologises to the two she nominated. "Don't let it ruin your night," Nicola tells her. "Just chill. everyone's cool."
22.02 In case you missed all the shenanigans this evening, the British public have been up to their old tricks again and decided to evict drama magnet Andrew Stone over the nice but boring Georgia Salpa. BB rewarded her victory by asking her to nominate in front of the entire house...and she chose Natasha and Nicola. There's more to come over the next 60 mins.
21.59 Evening all. Well, it's back. The bird song and sound dips of the Big Brother live feed are back...for one whole hour! Ah, who cares, the other 23 were probably rubbish anyway.
