[Amy]

After a quiet start, Mary was the centre of attention as the Housemates celebrated her 31st birthday.

The Housemates sang Happy Birthday to the white witch and toasted the occasion, with Mary seeming happy to be the focus of the house.

"I bet you won't have a birthday like this again," said Maxwell.

"Just a shame there's not more witches here for you."

But Mary seemed happy with the company and replied: "I don't need my witches darling, I've got you."

After hugs from Derek and Roberto, who told her she's a "good girl", more complements were soon to follow.

cheeky charmer Anthony was keen to tell her how good she looks. "You look good for 31," he said. "You certainly don't look your age."

With smiles all round, Mary thanked the Housemates and declared, "It's a pleasure to know you all!"

After a nervous start to her time in the Big Brother house, things are looking up for Mary.
