GWENT Big Brother contestant Helen Adams faced a dilemma last night as she celebrated her 23rd birthday.

The Cwmbran hair dresser was called into the Big Brother diary room and asked to chose between a party for all the contestants - or a pair of Gucci shoes and a matching handbag.

The party trade off included six bottles of champagne, a takeaway meal of their choice, and a box of birthday treats.

Helen said: "I have got to say I love the shoes and the handbag, but I have to think of everyone else and we could all do with a good booze-up and a meal. It's a hard choice, but I am going to go for a party."

Helen than ran out of the room screaming "We're going to have a party."
