A recap of Day 69 provided by C5! Come back later today to watch the Day 69 highlights show!

The penultimate day in the House saw the housemates cook a last supper Sunday roast and speculate on life after BB. In the short term they are more concerned by how they will look tonight and while Luke S is now satisfied his suit will be dry cleaned, the question of a stylist to tame housemates’ hair still hung in the air.

Big Brother saw fit to present our final five with a little party –cue champers and tunes. Having spent 69 days perfecting their moves, our housemates had their arms in the air, pouting and posturing through a bunch of chart classics. Even Luke S made an effort to join in.

With lips loosened by bubbly, Sara launched into a few rambling tales, including one about the Queen, before heading for bed early.

The three soldiers ended the night patting themselves on the back for their performance to date. They gave their spot in the garden some last night attentions before launching intotypical late night chat.

After a day in which no one argued, a sombre air settled over the House as the fact that this was the end of something pretty special sunk in. Today may just be another day but for Luke S, Sara, Deana, Adam and Luke A it is the day one of them walks away the winner of Big Brother 2012.

They awoke two housemates lighter but swaddled in the knowledge that all five of them had reached the final.

To cope with the glory this will bring, Day 68’s task took the form of media training with Bit on the Side press guru, Nina Myskow. The final five walked down imaginary red carpets, waved at imaginary fans and graciously (sort of) handled housemates they did not like. It was like watching baby birds spreading their wings and flying.

They all did well enough to win a Saturday night p-a-r-t-y but two in particular showed great aptitude for the celebrity lifestyle. Smoothies, Deana and Luke S were rewarded with a special dinner date. Fingers crossed, Ashleigh was too busy preparing for her duet with Scott on Bit on the Side to notice.

She doesn’t really have anything to worry about. As civilised as the date was, no sparks flew. Beforehand, Luke S acted like a man bereft, distracting himself with a sexy work-outthen, at the end of the day, nodded off with his arm round the empty spot where his girlfriend used to sleep. Not to worry, they’ll be reunited tomorrow.

Anyway, we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Before any sleep took place, the housemates enjoyed their task rewards. Over cocktails and canapés, they watched a slide-show of House highlights. After some lol-ing and omg-ing it was time to take off all their clothes and shake it like a polaroid picture. Yes, Nelly and OutKast were among the artists to have their songs pumped into the House.

The music-starved housemates went wild although we noticed that, after getting over-excited about One Direction’s ‘You Don’t Know You’re Beautiful’, Luke S began to hang back, looking like a buff Billy-no-mates down the school disco.There’s been a bit of a power-shift in the Luke department…

The ever-caring Big Brother checked in with all our housemates by providing lengthy Diary Room sessions.Sara’s one seemed to involve a shot from Cupid ’s bow. As undeniably attractive as our model housemate is, we’re not sure this one’s got legs.

All in all, Day 68 was a pretty charming affair but let’s see how their last full day in the House works out. Is it that time already? Cripes.
