India Willoughby stripped down to her bikini in the sauna on day five in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The former ITV Border newsreader spent the day making friends with the other housemates after she retired early to bed the previous night.

She had a chat with former professional footballer John Barnes followed by talks with housemates Ashley, Malika and Shane J.

India is now sharing a double bed with Malika.

The pair went to the store room for a chat.

Malika didn’t want India to feel upset about some of the comments the house mates had made the previous night about issues relating to transgender people.

India said: “I am not the sort of person who lingers on something."

She is one of a number of house guests in the latest series of the popular show.
