A new housemate arrived in the Big Brother house tonight, but no don't worry it's not yet another contestant - it's a tiny grey kitten, which they appear to have named Simba.

The arrival came after the housemates had performed a mini-task singing songs about their fellow housemates, and soon saw the bundle of fluff running around the living room area, darting under the chairs near the table, and getting used to the new surroundings.

Orlaith said how it should probably just be left to find it's own way around for the first few hours, and repeated that comment when ever someone picked the kitten up, although strangely seemed to go totally against her own words by picking the kitten up more than anyone else, and at one stage carrying it through to the bedroom to show it another room.
