Grime rapper Lady Sovereign has spoken out against the increasingly religious tone of the seventh and final series of Celebrity Big Brother.
Fellow housemate Stephen Baldwin is a born-again Christian and is permitted an hour of Bible usage every day during his time on the Channel 4 show, which had ironically been billed with the Jean-Paul Sartre quote: "Hell is other people."
And after the actor's faith dominated the opening days of the final run of the reality programme, diminutive rap star Lady Sovereign was left shaking her head at her housemates' conversation topics.
With Stephen discussing religion with fellow contestants at the dining table, Sov entered the bedroom only to find R 'n' B star Sisqo and former Hollywood 'madam' Heidi Fleiss involved in a similar conversation.
"I walk out of one room talking about the bible - I walk into another," Sov remarked.
And after the word "sovereign" was uttered aloud when actress Stephanie Beacham read aloud to the house from the story of Gideon in the Bible, causing Stephen to call to the 9 to 5 rapper, Heidi joked: "You'll be singing Jesus by the time he's finished with you!"
Meanwhile, dance DJ Basshunter flirted with model Ekaterina Ivanova while Big Brother unveiled a new addition to the house - the 'Tree of Temptation'.
The Tree offers the house a wealth of items, including food, drinks and gifts, but for every offering taken, someone in the house must pay a price.
As part of the first task, Basshunter was offered the chance to win Stephanie extravagant bed linen but was asked to sprinkle sand in another housemate's bed in order to win the prize.
