With an antiques expert residing in the Celebrity Big Brother House, what better way for the housemates to spend their afternoon than getting their knick-knacks valued by the Queen of antiques herself, Lauren Harries.

The celebrities have been asked to present their most treasured and valuable possession to Lauren and give a reason why it means so much to them. It might be a rare diamond ring, a one-off pair of designer sunglasses or a maybe a photo that holds sentimental value. Who knows what these celebs are hoarding, but it'll be interesting to see what they unearth!

Once Lauren has given the trinkets a once over, she'll decide whose item is the most valuable, with the winner receiving a special prize - a British afternoon tea with Lauren. How splendid.

Should be 'interesting'

Amazing task for Lauren. Can't wait to see it!

She hasn't got her father there to tell her what to say, has she?

[Kizzy]

So we will find out if it's a hoax or not then ...

Sorry, I thought CBB was supposedly a "Reality" show, they all get paid for being there, don't they?

Edit: and it's NOT the paltry Ł30 Per Diem either.

It's meant to be fun.

[reece(:]

This is going to be brilliant

[Livia]

Isn't it widely documented that the whole "child antiques expert" thing was made up? What IS the point of this...? Just something else to get strange Lauren and her tenuous grip on reality thrust onto our screens.

Bet I have a better knowledge of antiques than Lauren, I watch Bargain Hunt nearly every day after all

2:15pm: The HMs are queueing up to show Lauren their treasures #bbuklive

2:18pm: Danielle is showing Lauren a pair of tweezers and telling her a story about a stormy sea. #bbuklive

2:20pm: It seems that Danielle's story reimagines her as an olden days sailor

2:23pm: Louie is showing off his toothbrush to Lauren. He says it's an antique, and a sentimental item to boot.

2:25pm: Mario next. His valuable is a bracelet given to him by his first girlfriend.

2:27pm: Carol has chosen a precious necklace to show to Lauren. It was a gift from her fiance.

2:30pm: Charlotte next. She's brought some socks adorned with fried eggs. Beautiful.

2:36pm: Lauren has valued Courtney's bunny very low indeed. Poor bunny.

2:38pm: Sophie showed Lauren her lovely necklace and now Vicky is showing off...another pair of tweezers!

2:40: Bruce has shown Lauren a ring that has a huge amount of sentimental value to him. Bless.

2:41pm: Abz is showing Lauren a very beautiful crystal. Lauren says it's quartz.

2:43pm: Ohhh, Dustin, you kidder! He's showing Lauren his #CBB microphone

[erinp5]

2:48pm: Lauren is about to crown the most valuable item she's seen today...

2:51pm: Lauren gave the big red rosette to ...Dustin! He showed her a lovely ring after the microphone, you see

[erinp5]

3.40pm: Dustin and Lauren are being treated to a British afternoon tea as a reward for today's task


3.48pm: You might not be able to tell it from his face, but Dustin is really enjoying his reward. #bbuklive pic.twitter.com/Suis9iS7Uj

BB should have provided some genuine antiques to see what crap she would spout without her father's guidance.
Now THAT would have been HILARIOUS!

No doubt this screamingly funny interlude will take up a sizeable chunk of the HL show.

When I saw the title this is what I thought the task would be. Genuine antiques, then after she gave her prices on them a panel of real experts would give the actual prices.

I don't think housemates have antiques with them.
