[Romantic Old Bird]

No Sticks, ROB was not neglecting the divine Mr Clarke in her thoughts.

He has reached the big 30. The very age he himself has said he thinks a blokes thoughts should turn to marriage.

The relationships of Tom and Clare and Sophie and Lee have gone the way of all flesh.

Chantelle has taken the limelight and the accolades that were there for the taking by Helen some 5 years ago.

Meanwhile, H&P have quietly gone about their lives, being as normal as anyone could possibly be after the experience of BB. The sightings have become less reported, and of less interest as the months have gone by.

Whenever we do see them, they don't have to say how they feel about each other.

It's plain to see. They just have terrific fun and joy in each others presence.

It augers well for a great, long term life together. When Helen gets that ring, it won't have been on someone elses hand a few weeks ago - unless it was his nans or his grandma's.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr Clarke. Missing you, H, and all the laughs and anticipation, tears, sighs and excitement you gave us.

Have a great, happy life and get yourself wed, good and proper.

it's time we had little ones running round shouting 'Oh my God' (in a Welsh, not Essex accent) and Wierd! Blinding!

You have indeed lived you life like an International Pop Star. You have had fun.

Time to get on with the rest of it. xxx
