JAMES Jordan has managed to escape hell after unlocking three padlocks in a matter of seconds.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star was one of three Celebrity Big Brother housemates who took part in a purgatory-themed task, competing against Stacy Francis and Jasmine Waltz for a chance to return to the main house.

The task - which resembled something from horror film anthology Saw - involved a bath tub, fake blood, stinking rotten meat and darkness.

But unlike the puzzles set by evil mastermind Jigsaw, the celebs just needed to select the right keys from a selection of about 100.

Amazingly, it turns out that James' hands are as nimble as his feet and he easily freed himself.

As he pressed the red buzzer to signal that he had completed the task, the look of disappointment was clear on Jasmine and Stacy's faces.

On Friday EIGHT housemates were banished and forced to live a "meagre existence", just minutes after meeting their housemates Chloe Ferry, Kim Woodburn and Jessica Cunningham.

Emma Willis announced a series of bombshells during the live eviction that saw  both Angie Best and Austin Armacost voted out.

She then welcomed three new faces - Geordie Shore star Chloe Ferry, Apprentice favourite Jessica Cunningham and TV star and expert cleaner Kim Woodburn.

But it wasn't over there, as moments after the stars entered the house, host Emma announced that half of the group would be "banished" following the public vote, and will have to fight for survival - with another eviction announced for this SUNDAY.

The housemates forced to spend the weekend outside the main house were Coleen Nolan, Heidi and Spencer Pratt, James J, Jasmine Waltz, Jedward and Stacy Francis.

That came after the new housemates were introduced in typical dramatic fashion.

Asking each new housemate to cover their face with a mask, Emma then revealed the famous faces to their fellow co-stars - who reacted with complete shock.

Chloe immediately screamed, giving an early indication of the drama expected to come.

The reality show tried to keep everything about the soon-to-be-housemates’ identities secret, however slipped up when they revealed the three silhouettes in an advert aired during the break of Thursday’s show.

Rather than remaining ambiguous, the shapes clearly showed three long-haired curvy women.

The girls replaced Brandon Block and Ray J who both walked out within 24 hours. But it won’t be plain sailing for the new arrivals.

They will have to “fight for survival” to win a place in the house during a “weekend from hell.”

Ray J was the first star to quit before revealing he’d been suffering from excruciating toothache and Brandon Block followed a day later after saying he “wasn’t feeling himself.”

Meanwhile, tonight's show saw Angie Best evicted from the house - receiving huge applause from the crowd.

The star received the lowest amount of public votes and was shown the door and sent to chat to host Emma Willis during Friday's live eviction show.

The model was up against Austin Armacost, Heidi and Spencer Pratt, Stacy Francis and James Cosmo.

The 64-year-old received a big hug from her son Calum who is also in the house, with him telling his mother he had done the family proud before she headed up the stairs to face the public.

Speaking to Emma, Angie revealed she was delighted to be out.

She said: "Oh you have no idea, I went in there to spend time with my son otherwise there was no way I would have done that.

"Nine days in a bubble with all those emotions and people and stuff, it was the right time to go and let them get on with."

Angie also admitted she would never have done the show if her 35-year-old son hadn't been in the house.

She added of his protectiveness over her: "He wanted me to behave myself, that’s not difficult for me to do. I would never want to embarrass him."

When Emma asked if Calum would change in the house now she had gone, the star shook her head.

She said: "I’ve seen everything from Calum, he’s not going to change in the slightest now.

"He might play the game a bit more now."

Later in the show, the housemates were then asked to vote for who they thought was the "dullest" housemate - unaware it would lead to that person being voted out in a shock twist.

Austin Armacost eventually became the second housemate to be evicted, with his housemates apparently unaware he had even left.

At the start of Friday's live eviction, host Emma Willis revealed the cruel twist.

She said: ";The gates of hell are being swung open for our celebrities. No more Mr Nice Guy.

“The housemates are expecting an eviction tonight but what they don’t know is there’s going to be a second shock eviction when the housemates will be forced to turn on each other and cull the dullest celebrity.

“There aren’t any dull ones in there are there?”
