The two, who were appointed directors of the Big Brother bank, believed that they had to pass two out of three tasks in order to get a reward for the house.

However, all of the other housemates had been instructed to attempt to fail the tasks, after being told that they would be given a luxury food budget if they failed two out of the three tasks, which they did.

Meanwhile, former Dead or Alive singer Pete Burns caused a few sparks when he accidentally set fire to his dressing gown while trying to light a cigarette.

Outside the house, evicted housemate Faria Alam has denied claims that George Galloway has been censored in his attempts to talk about Iraq in the house.

Speaking to Sky News, Faria said: "Actually he hasn't mentioned a word about it."

George, Dennis and Chantelle will all face the public eviction vote later this week, with two of them due to be kicked out of the house in a surprise double-eviction.

Must Watch TV

  • - 30 Rock

    11.45pm, 3e

    Another case of a great show at an awful time - and it's a terrible shame because 30 Rock has probably been the smartest as well as the funniest network American sitcom since the glory days of Seinfeld. Tonight, Liz returns from holiday break with a new outlook that leaves her immune to Tracy's acting out over Jenna's new fame as a judge on the reality show America's Kidz Got Singing. Meanwhile, Kenneth prepares for the Rapture.

  • - Franc's DIY Brides

    8.30pm, RTÉ One

    With a budget of €10K, and 160 guests invited to their very special day, Franc is on hand to mentor Dublin couple Gemma Barnes and Gary Mackle as they endeavour to create their winter wonderland-themed wedding in Wexford. A wedding dress has to be found, and a ring needs to be re-worked all in an attempt to create a unique and cost effective 'wow' wedding. And Gemma and Gary head for Camp Franc to find out just how they can make their day perfect.

  • - Golf: PGA Championship

    2.30pm, BBC TWO

    Golf is one sport that looks amazing on TV, so here's another treat for couch potatoes. Hazel Irvine presents live coverage of the fourth and final round at Wentworth. Last year's final day culminated in a dramatic play-off between Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, and it was the former who emerged victorious to take the world number one spot off his compatriot. With so many Europeans dominating the top of the World rankings, viewers can expect a tight contest (and maybe an Irish win).
