Celeb Big Brother housemate Jonas Altberg has been forced to listen to his hit single on a loop for more than six hours as punishment. After failing his secret task, the Swedish DJ, aka Basshunter, and rapper Lady Sovereign were confined to a Punishment Room by Big Brother where his hit All I Ever Wanted was played repeatedly along with alarm noises if the pair appeared to be dozing off. Jonas exclaimed: "Punishment is one thing, but torture is another", while Lady Sovereign asked him "why did you ever make this song up?" The pair were locked in the room at 9.20pm and finally released and allowed to go to bed at 4am. The punishment was given because Jonas had refused to carry out a secret task given to him by Big Brother, offering him the chance to win luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets for actress Stephanie Beacham, if he poured sand into another housemate's bed without their knowledge. Meanwhile, Vinnie Jones and Stephen Baldwin also had a restless night, without suffering any punishment. The pair were awake at 5am, eating in the kitchen and talking about supermarket shopping in America. Jonas was not pleased to be woken by Big Brother's alarm at 9.45am and began telling the housemates of the torture he had suffered the previous night.
