It seems to be everybody's birthday at the moment - first it was Big Brother and now it's Liam. And as the birthday boy emerged from the bedroom after a lie-in, he was delighted to be greeted by some presents...

Carole had thoughtfully decorated a plant in the Living Area with gifts that summed Liam up.

"Aaah, look at that. That's excellent that," said a thrilled Liam, on discovering his present.

"Aww brilliant, thanks very much - that's absolutely fantastic. There's pigeons on there n' all!"

"Pigeons of love," added Tracey.

"And Dash the Dog," said Carole, in case Liam didn't recognise his House pet.

"Dash and Liam and beer," said Liam proudly as he surveyed his gifts.

"Happy 23rd birthday from your Big Brother housemates," he read from the card Carole had also made.

"Aww, thanks very much," he repeated, choked with emotion, "I couldn't live with a better bunch of people, I tell ya. What a birthday. Why aye..."

Dash the Dog and Pigeons of Love? What more could a boy wish for..?
