I wish there was a private room': Dappy and Jasmine get VERY close beneath the duvet and conversation turns explicit in day two of Celebrity Big Brother

N-Dubz star Dappy and American actress Jasmine wasted no time in turning up the heat as they headed to bed on the second day in the Celebrity Big Brother house. 

Dappy was seen wrapping himself around the brunette before whispering in her ear ‘You have a tight little a**, I like it’.

He then added: 'I wish there was a private room', and it wasn't long until the conversation took a more explicit turn as they began to discuss a certain part of the rappers anatomy. 

Getting close: Dappy and Jasmine shared a bed on the second night in the Celebrity Big Brother house

Gloating: The conversation quickly turned to Dappy's manhood

Compliments: Dappy tried to woo Jasmine by commenting on her body as they lay in bed

The episode began showing the first morning for the celebrity housemates in the new blinged up Celebrity Big Brother house and they were of course all still handcuffed to each other apart from Dappy and Liz who now face eviction.

While sipping a glass of water Jasmine, who went wild the evening before, said: ‘My head hurts Big Brother.

Watching her Linda asked if she was hungover but she said she simply had a headache.

Not complaining: Jasmine could be heard giggling as Dappy snuggled her

Chatty: Dappy certainly didn't seem in the mood for sleeping just yet

Ollie also asked how she was feeling and she said ‘not my best’ – sarcastically Ollie told her ‘but you were so sober.’

Jasmine quizzed Sam about how she had got changed the evening before, revealing she couldn’t remember a thing. 

Being nice Sam told her not to worry and that she was ‘very entertaining and didn’t offend anyone last night’. 

Not feeling her best: Jasmine Waltz was very hungover following her evening of wild antics

Morning: Casey started her day by stroking Lee on the head as they lay in bed

That's forward: The pair got very close as the singer put his arms around the model while they lay in bed

In the kitchen Lee and Casey chatted to Liz about sharing a bed together and Casey revealed that Lee had pulled her in for a cuddle as they slept. 

Clearly enjoying the attention Casey said she would ‘allow him to spoon her in bed.’

Speaking in the diary room Lionel, who was shocked the evening before spoke about Jasmine, saying: ‘She’s a sweet girl but she’s a bit in your face, she talks a lot. There’s a lot of swearing going on. ‘

Romance in the wings? Lee and Casey clapped their hands during the task, seemingly forgetting they were chained together

Tricky: Luisa struggled to put on her bra while still tied to Evander

The showbiz veteran did however say that he thought Sam was behaving like a ‘lady’.

As they spoke Jasmine could be heard being sick, while Sam held her hair back. 

In the bathroom Lee and Casey tried to work out how to get in the shower while being chained together still.

The housemates were then told that they would have to take part in tasks to find out who would be up for eviction alongside Dappy and Liz.

Pampering session: Luisa treated Evander to a semi-manicure as the former The Apprentice star trimmed his nails

Headache: Jasmine said she just a 'headache' but was sick in the toilet

Unchained melody: The girls held hands throughout their first task, and were eventually successful and subsequently unchained from one and other

Those who win the task would be immune from eviction after being released from their handcuffs.

First up Jasmine revealed to her housemates that she punched Lindsay Lohan, and that ‘she deserved it’.

Jasmine claimed Lindsay was verbally attacking her in a fight over a boy while they partied in the same nightclub.

The actress said that at first she denied she had done it but it was proved on CCTV.

Nah Nah Niii: Dappy decided to try and keep up his fitness with a few impromptu push-ups in the bathroom

Covered up: Jasmine put a towel over her head as she waited for Sam to take a shower

Linda revealed that this time last week she was on benefits, and that Big Brother is going to help her get back on the straight and narrow.

Dappy told the story of when he took a photo of his penis which helped him reach number one in the charts.

Sam said that when she was once on holiday, she went on a nudist beach to get papped to ‘gain lots of press’.

Laughs all round: Lee looked overwhelmed with laughter as he rolled around the garden

Wherever Lee goes...: Casey wasn't far behind Lee, also laughing raucously with the boy band star

Impressed: Ollie told Dappy that he had seen a picture of a certain part of his body

Congratulations: Ollie shook Dappy's hand while talking about his manhood

It was Jim however who told the most interesting story about his cocaine addiction and how his ex-wife helped him by taking him to a man of God. 

The housemates were then asked to vote for the winners of the best stories; this pair will win immunity from eviction and freedom from the handcuffs. All housemates voted for Jim and Linda and not surprisingly they were very grateful.

Big Brother then called the handcuffed housemates – one by one – into the diary room for their chance to be freed and win immunity by answering a series of questions about how well they know their partners. 

All eyes on her: The housemates were very impressed with the size of Casey's chest

Topic of conversation: Casey's breast size was discussed on a few occasions in the episode

First up was Lee and Casey – Casey seemed to be know a lot about Lee and straight away could say he fancied Jasmine the most. 

Jasmine correctly guessed that Sam thinks Lee is the sexiest in the house and that if Sam found a million pounds she would keep it rather than give to charity. 

Luisa correctly guessed that Evander would rather be respected than rich, while Ollie correctly guessed that Lionel would rather be poor but loved by the public and that he would trust him 100% with a secret.

How big: Much of the episode is spent discussing a certain part of Dappy's body

After the question task, Big Brother announced that Jasmine and Sam is the winning pair, they free themselves immediately and win immunity. They are happy.

Jim chatted to Linda in the kitchen about his wife and said: ‘She’s been brilliant this last year.’

The comedian continued: ‘There was me then and there’s me now. It’s changed me.The self pity, the fear, the anger, blame. Fear mainly. Anyway it’s all done now. We’ll read about it one day and have a good laugh, well maybe not a good laugh.’

Block building: The pairs had to discuss various aspects of their lives in the task

Truth: Jasmine discussed punching Lindsay Lohan after fighting over a man

Meanwhile in the bedroom Sam and Jasmine were discussing sleeping arrangements. Sam said she thought Jasmine should share the bed with Dappy and not surprisingly Jasmine said she’s up for it.

In the bedroom Casey takes off her top and Sam and Lee both commented on how big her breasts on.

Despite saying ‘I have a good bra on’, the other housemates continued to talk about how impressive they were.

Past: Jim opened up about his past addiction to cocaine

Broke: Linda revealed that this time last week she was on the dole

Biggest regrets: Linda spoke about her family and said her biggest regret was not having children

In the garden, Ollie tells Dappy that he is ‘packing some meat’ as he saw a picture of Dappy on the Alan Carr show.

Jasmine then tried to measure it out with her hands and looked amazed when Dappy showed her how big he was.

In the bathroom, Casey and Lee agree to still share a bed even if they are not handcuffed to each other, after he again pointed out how big her breasts were.

And as the cameras dim it's not just Dappy and Jasmine who get close - Lee and Casey could also be seen spooning. 

Celebrity Big Brother continues daily on Channel 5

Deep: The conversations took a serious turn and even Lee looked deep in thought

Strike rages on at University of Jos

Abuja - Striking University of Jos workers said they would not return to work until all its entitled members are paid their full earned allowances from what has been so far released the university by the federal government.

Staff has embarked on a lengthy strike which the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) called for to press for better remuneration and improved working conditions.

“In the course of the strike, the federal government in an attempt to resolve the problems released the sum of 30 Billion Naira for the settlement of earned allowances owed staff of Nigerian Universities, who had earned same from 2009 to 2012,” David Jangkam, branch chairman of ASUU, said.

Jangkam said the University of Jos got the sum of N1.16 billion as its share for onward payment to staff that had worked and earned same based on computation done in 2011 submitted by departments and units. 

He lamented that neither the initial computation in 2010 through 2012 nor the verified computation in 2013 was used by the university administration in disbursing the funds it got from the federal government. 

“Instead, the University of Jos administration shared the money as it deemed fit without regard to whether staff earned same entitlement or not, thus resulting in some members getting far less than what they are entitled to and most members getting nothing at all,” said Jangkam.

The union therefore vowed that despite the suspension of the strike embarked upon by its national secretariat, the University of Jos chapter would not resume academic activities until the university administration resolved the crisis. 

A cocktail of cyanide and arsenic: New graphic images show the damage to the body caused by smoking

These gruesome images show the effects smoking has on the body.

They show how toxins, including arsenic and cyanide, circulate around the body from the lungs to the heart and then the brain.

They are part of a new stop-smoking campaign launched by Public Health England to highlight the damage done to smokers' bodies.

Scroll down for video

Public Health England has launched a new stop-smoking film. It shows how smoke enters the lungs (pictured) where it causes serious damage

The Smokefree Health Harms campaign points out that inhaling dangerous chemicals in cigarettes damages major organs and increases the risk of stroke and dementia. 

The chemicals move through the heart, the lungs and into the bloodstream, finally damaging cells in the brain.

The campaign film informs viewers: ‘Every time you smoke, blood that's thick and dirty with toxins circulates through your body in seconds increasing your chances of a heart attack or stroke. If you could see the damage, you'd stop.’

 

The film shows a man standing outside smoking. It then illustrates how the smoke he inhales enters his lungs before passing through his blood vessels into his heart and finally his brain.

As the film pans through the body, it shows the organs being rapidly damaged.

England's chief medical officer, Professor Dame Sally Davies, said: ‘We know about the serious effect smoking has on the heart and lungs but smokers need to be aware of how much potential damage is being done to the brain and other vital organs through toxins in cigarettes entering the blood. 

Horror of blood clots from smoking focus of new campaign

The film then shows how the blood moves from the lungs through the blood vessels (pictured) to the heart

‘Smoking is the major cause of premature death, with one in two smokers dying prematurely from smoking-related diseases, and it is extremely worrying that people still underestimate the health harms associated with it.

‘However, it is not all doom and gloom for smokers looking to quit this New Year. Within five years of stopping smoking, your risk of stroke can be reduced to the same as a lifetime non-smoker.’

Professor Kevin Fenton, director of health and well-being for Public Health England, said: ‘More than eight million people smoke in England. 

The film shows how the 'dirty' blood, which is filled with toxins, passes into the heart (pictured) from where it is then pumped to the brain

In the brain, the toxins are transported through small blood vessels until they penetrate all areas, increasing the risk of dementia and strokes

‘With half of long-term smokers dying prematurely from a smoking-related disease, highlighting the unseen damaging effect smoking has on the body's major organs provides a real motivation for people to stop.’

Joe Korner, director of external affairs at Stroke Association, said: ‘Stroke is a major cause of death and adult disability in the UK and you are twice as likely to have a stroke if you smoke. 

'The more you smoke, the more your risk increases.’

The campaign film informs viewers: 'Every time you smoke, blood that's thick and dirty with toxins circulates through your body in seconds increasing your chances of a heart attack or stroke. If you could see the damage, you'd stop.' Image shows toxins passing into the brain

Dr Gareth Hagger-Johnson, research associate at University College London (UCL), said: ‘Accelerated decline in cognitive reasoning and memory is more advanced in smokers, with one of our studies at UCL showing it to be nearly 38 per cent faster in persistent male smokers compared to non-smokers.

‘The decline in the brain's cognitive powers is naturally seen with ageing.

'However, there are a number of identifiable risk factors, including smoking and heavy alcohol consumption, which can be associated with an accelerated rate of decline.’

A killer and a coward: British father who slit his children's throats in France hangs himself in jail ahead of his murder trial

A British man who cut his children's throats with a kitchen knife has hanged himself in prison, French police said today.

Julian Stevenson, 48, killed Mathew, 10, and Carla, five in May, apparently in a fit of rage over a custody battle with his ex-wife.

He left the scene of his crime, near the eastern French city of Lyon, on a pair of roller skates but was later found covered in blood.

Now he's taken his own life: British father Julian Stevenson seen on CCTV with his two children - Mathew, 10, and Carla, 5 - in a bakery hours before he slit their throats with a kitchen knife in the French town of Lyon

Was facing murder trial: Stevenson left the scene of his crime, near the eastern French city of Lyon, on a pair of roller skates but was later found covered in blood

The unemployed father reportedly confessed to the crime and was in custody awaiting trial.

A source for French prosecutors today told French national news agency AFP: 'He hanged himself on Monday in a sports hall reserved for inmates held in solitary confinement'.

 

A spokesperson for Britain's Foreign Office said: 'We are aware of the death of a British national in detention in France on 30 December 2013 and we are providing consular assistance to the family'.

CCTV footage of Stevenson hours before the tragedy shows him buying his children sweets, as his son and daughter clutching pink balloons.

Stevenson had not been allowed to see his children without a chaperone after attacking his French wife, Stephanie, in 2010.

Grieving: Stevenson's ex-wife Stephanie Morlet (left) at the funeral of their two children Mathew, 10, and five-year-old Carla (right) in May

Tearful: Stephanie Morlet and her family took part in an emotional march in memory of the children days after their deaths

The day of the murder was the first time Stevenson had brought the children home to his apartment on the second floor of a four-storey building without a third party being present.

Ahmed Benguedda, a neighbour in the Lyon suburb, said the couple had divorced 'two or three years ago' and Stevenson had drinking problems and was a wife beater.

After the divorce the wife, who worked as an assistant accountant, moved out of the apartment they had jointly bought and was living in the Isere region of eastern France.

Heartbroken: Many of the 300-strong march were in floods of tears as they carried white roses and white balloons in support of the family last May

But the children were 'well-balanced', said Benguedda, whose seven-year-old daughter often played with them.

In May, the children's British grandparents said how devastated they felt for their ex-daughter-in-law.

Michael and Diane Stevenson, Stevenson's parents, said they were 'crushed' by their son's crime.

Mr Stevenson said: 'We are very upset for Stephanie and her family, who don't deserve this at all.

'She has her own apartment near her family and she and the kids stayed there for quite a long while until she got her own place.

'We want a message to go to them. We send them our deepest sympathies. We would send a card, but we know they would just tear it up.

It's already a Happy New Year somewhere! Midnight strikes across the globe as millions hail start of 2014 with dazzling celebrations

The biggest party in the world is underway with bright fireworks bursting into skies across the globe as midnight strikes and nations hail the start of 2014.

Exploding fireworks sprayed from Sydney's iconic opera house and harbor bridge as the world began ushering in a new year. 

More than one million people crammed the Sydney Harbor foreshore on a warm summer night to watch Sydney's renowned annual pyrotechnics show, which appeared to live up to its billing as the city's most extravagant. 

And for the first time in more than a decade fireworks launched from four sails of the Sydney Opera House.

In Hong Kong the harbour provided the focal point much like Sydney harbour three hours earlier.

A bright spray of fireworks erupted from the water at the same time as rockets burst above the city creating a stunning spectacle of red and white light.

Closer to the edge of the International Dateline, New Zealand bid farewell to 2013 two hours before Sydney with fireworks erupting from Auckland's Sky Tower as cheering revelers danced in the streets of the South Pacific island nation's largest city. 

In Tokyo, five priests at the Zojoji temple used ropes to swing a wooden pole against a large bell, sounding the first of 108 gongs to mark the new year. Simultaneously, '2014' lit up in white lights on the modern Tokyo Tower in the background.

Both Japanese and tourists jammed the temple grounds for the traditional ceremony. Suburban resident Juji Muto said he was curious to hear how the bell sounded. At his age, the 75-year-old retiree said he wishes as every year for good health in the new year. 

China planned light shows at part of the Great Wall near Beijing and at the Bund waterfront in Shanghai. The city of Wuhan in central Hubei province called off its fireworks show and banned fireworks downtown to avoid worsening its smoggy air. 

In Beijing, one flower shop manager said he hoped the new year brought more customers. 

'Since the government started its campaign to crack down on luxury spending and promote frugality, our business with government agencies has been in decline,' said Mao Xiangfei. 'In the past, government clients accounted for about 10 percent of our business, but now it's zero.'

In the Philippines, more than 260 people were injured by firecracker blasts and celebratory gunfire ahead of New Year's Eve celebrations, one of Asia's most violent revelries.

Department of Health spokesman Dr Eric Tayag said he expected the number of injuries to rise sharply when Filipinos ignite powerful firecrackers to end a year marked by tragic disasters, including a typhoon on November 8, that left more than 6,100 dead and nearly 1,800 others missing. 

'Many here are welcoming the new year after losing their mothers, fathers, siblings and children so you can imagine how it feels,' said village chief Maria Rosario Bactol of Anibong community in Tacloban, the city worst hit by Typhoon Haiyan. 

'I tell them to face the reality, to move on and stand up but I know it will never be easy.'

The Opera House is lit up by the stunning fountains of fireworks streaming off the harbour bridge. This year's display is the most extravagant ever, organisers have said

Dubai, home to world's tallest tower, is known for its glitz, glamor and over-the-top achievements, and this New Year's Eve the city is planning to break another record by creating the largest fireworks show ever.

Organizers plan to light up the city's coastline with a flying falcon made out of fireworks that moves across a massive man-made palm-shaped island alongside a countdown in fireworks.

Organisers say they will also create a burst of light out of fireworks to imitate a sunrise and dazzle spectators with a United Arab Emirates flag that could also break records for being the largest ever made out of fireworks. 

The six-minute extravaganza will include 500,000 fireworks from 400 firing locations, all synchronized by 100 computers from stations across the city, said Barrett Wissman, co-chairman of IMG Artists that is managing the event. Guinness World Record officials will be on hand to measure the scale of the event. 

Wissman said the display will cover 30 miles (48 kilometers) of seafront. 'It is really mind-blowing, the size of this,' he said.

China was planning to count down to the New Year with light shows at two spectacular and historic locations - part of the Great Wall near Beijing and at the Bund waterfront in Shanghai.

In Beijing, one flower shop manager said he hoped the new year brought more customers. 

'Since the government started its campaign to crack down on luxury spending and promote frugality, our business with government agencies has been in decline,' said Mao Xiangfei. 'In the past, government clients accounted for about 10 percent of our business, but now it's zero.' 

But in one polluted Chinese city, the celebrations were slated to be quieter as authorities in Wuhan in central Hubei province called off their annual New Year fireworks show and banned fireworks downtown to avoid making the smoggy air worse.

Shinto priests walk toward the main hall to hold a shinto ritual in preparation for the New Year at Meiji Shrine in Tokyo, Japan. It is expected that around three million people will visit the shrine to pray for their health, happiness and property during the first days of 2014

In Japan, thousands of visitors, some donning kimono, prayed, rang a bell and tossed coins as offerings at shrines, wishing for health, wealth and happiness. Temple bells rang the customary 108 times, for the 108 causes of suffering according to Buddhism, and to welcome in the Year of the Horse.

Japanese are hopeful about the economy for the first time in years after some signs of revival under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whose easing lending policies and pump-priming measures have been dubbed 'Abenomics.' 

Among those upbeat about what the new year might bring is Junya Sakata, a 23-year-old Tokyo waiter looking forward to taking sommelier classes next year so he can move up in his career. 

'I hope the economy will keep improving, building up to the 2020 Olympics,' he said, which will be held in Tokyo. 'So many things happened this year, but I was able to grow. Maybe next year I will find a girlfriend.'

In North Korea, a group of tourists, including Americans, planned to watch fireworks in Kim Il Sung Square and watch the Pyongyang Bell strike midnight, said Andrea Lee, CEO of Uritours, a tour group specializing in travel to North Korea. 

'There were a lot of people out on the streets today for an outdoor dance event, and cars filled the streets,' Ms Lee said. 

In Hong Kong, tens of thousands turned out to watch the fireworks display over the southern Chinese city's famed Victoria Harbor. 

In Indonesia, New Year's celebrations are widespread except in the city of Banda Aceh where Islamic clerics prohibit Muslims from celebrating New Year's Eve. 

In the capital, Jakarta, Governor Joko Widodo will lead a festival featuring concerts, parades, a marching band and fireworks. 

While organizers in cities like Chicago and New York were just starting to block off streets in preparation for the evening's events, festivities were well under way in other parts of the globe.

As midnight struck in Sydney, Australia, a massive fireworks display lit up the night sky around the city's famed Harbor Bridge and Opera House. New Year's organizers in Dubai were attempting to break the Guinness World Record for largest fireworks display.

Vladimir Putin has added a twist to the stolid ritual of Russian presidential New Year's Eve address by doing two versions this year. 

Russian leaders traditionally make short, prerecorded messages to be broadcast as the year begins in each of the country's nine time zones. 

The address broadcast in Russia's Far East was typical, showing Putin at the Kremlin and calling for Russians to work together, according to Russian news websites.

But an hour later, Putin came out with a different speech mentioning this week's suicide bombings in Volgograd that killed 34 people and vowing to destroy terrorists, reports said. 

Putin made that recording Tuesday while visiting the city of Khabarovsk. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said there wasn't time to get it to the Far East, according to Ekho Moskvy radio.
