Day 96, 13:45
Just when the Housemates thought they'd never have to see each other again, another event rears its head and the gang are back together.
Last week the Housemates gathered at Waterstone's in London's Piccadilly for the launch of the official Big Brother book, Access All Areas.
First off, the Housemates took part in a book signing for the legion of fans who turned out for the event, but then it was time for the boys and girls to kick back and relax over a glass or two of vino.
And we were there to observe and to chat to the book's author, Paul Flynn.
Paul has spent the summer behind the scenes at Big Brother, talking to producers, the task team, the cameramen and women and other staff and interviewing each Housemate after their eviction.
As a result, the book is packed with insider information and Paul said he's "really pleased" with the final result.
Science, Vanessa and her cousin are fans of the BB book...Paul admits he now feels "strangely bereft" since the show has finished, and said he feels like there's a huge gap in his life! Not to worry Paul, it'll be back on our screens again before we know it.
But what about the Housemates themselves, the people the book is about?
Well, they were all there in their splendour for the launch.
Maxwell, Saskia and Anthony quickly found a spot in the corner of the room where they could chat and catch up with gossip, and were soon joined by Craig, Orlaith and Lesley.
Science and Derek both worked the room, chatting to everyone, while Kinga and Mary looked like firm friends, giggling and gossiping together for most of the evening.
Vanessa and Sam were also in the throng, although they both seemed to stay with their respective guests.
Makosi made a brief appearance, looking stunning in a navy blue dress, while Kemal was looking fabulous as always, in black leggings, funky stilettos and a blue top, hair coiffed to the max.
And runner up Eugene was also circulating, no doubt regaling guests with interesting anecdotes about radios...
The only Housemate not to make an appearance was the lovely Roberto, who unfortunately couldn't make it.
GG! Maybe you'll be able to meet him one day. Liked Russell a wee bit more this series, he was slightly less over powering in my opinion.
