Celebrity Big Brother contestants Casey Batchelor and Lee Ryan were the first to be evicted from the house, but they didn’t stray too far from camp.

Producers decided to add a twist to the story and sent the pair back into the house via a secret door. The hidden part of the house has been dubbed the bolt hole and allows Casey and Lee spy on their housemates.

The duo were voted out as if it was a normal eviction and had no clue what was in store for them.  Lee certainly wasn’t impressed with the change in plans and told Emma Willis: “I hate you lot.”

However it could be a bit of fun for the pair as they will be able to create mischief for the rest of the house while they look on.

Things will get a bit awkward on Friday though as they are set to return to the house. Not sure the others will be best pleased that they were being spied on.

Although, with millions of people already watching them, what’s another two?

Most ladies are aware of the fact that they need to regularly exfoliate their skin, but many don’t know why they should.

Dead cells can make the face look tired, so regular exfoliation can actually transform your skin’s dull, sad appearance.

It is important that you remove these dead cells to encourage those cells below to replenish, making the surface of the skin look fresh.

They can also clog up pores resulting in blackheads and spots, which nobody wants.

While you may believe that your cleansing and toning regime is second to none, if you have a layer of dead skin on your face you won’t be able to truly cleanse.

You only need to add it to your skincare regime one or twice a week, depending on your skin type. If your skin is sensitive, you should only do it once a week, as it may irritate it or make it dry. Make sure you include your neck and chest area.

If you’re about to tell us that your budget won’t allow for more products, we’re telling you that there are DIY options. Adding sugar to your cleansing cream is the perfect way to give your skin a good exfoliation. 

You don’t have an excuse now, so start scrubbing.

A side bun is a great, low-maintenance hairstyle you can use for the next family wedding.

Many women think they need a hairdresser for a chic up-do, but you can quite easily recreate this style at home.

Grab yourself a hair doughnut and follow these simple tips:

  1. Make sure your hair is completely knot free by giving it a good brush.
  2. If you have flat hair, spritz some dry shampoo to the roots to give it added volume.
  3. Pull you hair over the side that you want your bun on.
  4. Tie the hair into a pony.
  5. Feed the entire ponytail through the doughnut and roll the hair around the piece until it is in a bun shape. It’s going to look slightly messy, but don’t worry.
  6. Secure the bun with a thin band, bobby pins and hair spray.

Have a go and see just how simple it is.

Impossibly beautiful and always pristine, today’s best dressed lady is former Victoria Secret model and owner of KORA Organics, Miranda Kerr.

Despite the pressures of raising a young son, running a successful skincare company and being a model in top demand, Miranda always manages to look fabulous. Her style can be best described as demure, feminine and fresh. Below are our favourite outfits worn by Ms. Kerr, what do you think?

The first style is somewhat casual, a plain black maxi, which is always a fail-safe classic, updated with a denim jacket and colourful bag.

Our personal favourite, this green maxi is quite possibly the best thing in the world. The capped sleeves, the slit…. amazing.

Finally, our final pick was this cute little naval inspired playsuit, paired with a great leather bag.

We swear we’re not jealous…

While laying floor tiles may seem like a daunting task, as with anything, preparation is key, so with the right tools and the right mind-set, you can have beautifully laid floor tiles.

What you need:

  • Tiles
  • Grout
  • Tile cutter
  • Chalk
  • Spirit level
  • Tile spacers
  • Pencil
  • Spreader
  • Floor sealer
  • Damp cloth
  • Tape measure

 Step 1: Measure your room

Using chalk, mark where you plan to place the tiles. Next, find the midpoints of the two longest walls in the room and then join them by drawing a line across the floor. Do the same for the two shorter walls.

Step 2: Place the tiles

The two lines will help you lay the tiles in the best positions. Try using as many whole tiles as you can.

Step 3: Apply the glue

Evenly spread the adhesive across one of the corners created by the chalk lines. Working backwards, gently press tiles into place. Use the tile spacers to make sure the grouting is even.

Step 4: Lay the remaining tiles

When you reach the wall, cut the shapes you need to fill in any gaps using the tile cutter and leave space for grouting. If all tiles are levelled with the spirit level, move on to the other side of the room.

Step 5: Grout the tiles

After 14 hours, you will be ready to grout the tiles

There’s nothing worse than seeing someone desperately fail at pulling off  Marilyn Monroe’s famous ‘red lip’. In fact, dry and cracked lips look terribly under any lip color, not just red.

Here are a few guidelines to follow for the perfect lipstick – read them, treasure them and pass them on to your mates.

  • Always exfoliate your lips before applying makeup. It will get rid of any dead skin lying on the surface.
  • Before lipstick comes lip balm. It will keep your lips soft and moistened under your lipstick.
  • Remember to fill your lips with lip liner before you apply your lipstick. This will make the color last longer.
  • Line your lips to give them some definition.
  • Apply your lipstick with a lip brush to let the color really get into your lips.
  • For a non-surgical lip augmentation, apply a bit of highlighter to your cupids bow. This will give you a sexy pout.
  • Avoid getting lipstick on your teeth by poking a (clean) finger into your mouth.
  • Use cotton bud to clean up around the edges of your lips.
  • Finish up with translucent powder so that the lip color lasts longer.

And most important, remember to smile.
