The housemates have been taking to their roles and slapping on several layers of make-up as they prepare for tonight's task.

The experience of many years of foundation and rouge putting-on meant Nush and Steph shared the burden of whacking the slap on the boys.

Steph lovingly sploshed the make-up on Cameron's face (including an interesting mono-brow), and Nush did her stuff on Scott's boat race.

But, when it came to Jon, Steph rather pointedly asked, "I take it you want Nush to do you?"

Jon, somewhat taken aback by this, told her he didn't give a hoot. "I don't mind," he said, "Anyone's better than me."

Ray had earlier jumped the gun slightly, lathering white paint-like pan-stick on as if there was no tomorrow.
