A while ago, as part of the Seven Deadly Sins task, Nicky had to spend time in the Nicky Room to remind herself of how special she is. Forced to list her good points, she said she had a 'fun side'. Big Brother has decided to put this claim to the test.

Nicky will be given half an hour to prepare a two-minute comedy routine that she must perform in front of the housemates, but she can't tell any of them about the task.

"Oh b******," sighed Nicky.

As a help, Big Brother provided her with the opening joke for her routine.

She may take some comfort in the fact that Big Brother is sometimes easily pleased: "Big Brother is a realist and isn't exactly expecting them to be rolling in the aisles."

If she passes the task, she will win a takeaway of her choice for the housemates.

"Nicky, are you funny?" asked Big Brother.

"I'm f****** hilarious!" said Nicky confidently.
