Lucky Big Brother housemate, Charley Uchea may just escape eviction again this week after silly Billi makes a major slip up.

Charley was one of a few people nominated for eviction, and after hearing the crowds recent chants of “Get Charley out!” I can’t imagine she would have stayed in the house had things went to plan.

However, Billi was caught speaking about nominations and as a punishment, BB is considering voiding all his nominations, this would most likely let Charley off the hook.

A cloud of suspicion has been cast upon 36 year old raver, Tracey Barnard as housemates complain about her random use of street slang.

Big brother bosses are concerned that Tracey is passing messages to the outside world via her favourite phrases, such as “‘av it!” and “deal wiv it!”

Last night a Big Brother source admitted to The Sun newspaper:

“We have become increasingly concerned. Several housemates have complained about Tracey’s catchphrases. They say she just comes out with stuff at random. There is no rhyme or reason to it. It has nothing to do with the conversation she’s having.”

The insider added: “There is genuine concern that she could be passing messages to the outside world. Read more & comment »

Big Brother housemates have quit their latest task after finding the sleep deprivation too much to bear.

Some of the housemates would have liked to continue, tree surgeon Liam McGough stated

“Everybody’s here on their individual journey and my journey’s not quitting,” he said.

“I’d rather not argue with anyone and just go to bed, because otherwise I’ll be downright rude,” said fellow housemate Charley Uchea.

Speaking to Carole today, millionaire businessman, Jonathan has vowed to treat Sam, Amanda and six of their friends to a trip to his luxury holiday villa.

The present will be for their nineteenth birthday which occurs tomorrow and Jonathan said to Carole:

“I thought it would be nice for them as they have never been overseas. I don’t want to tell everyone though as I don’t want them to think I’m a flash b*stard. And my fiancee is gonna go mad at me when I get out.”

Carole said: “I think they’ll really like it.”

Isn’t he a sweetie!

Ant and Dec have issued an invitation to music mogul Simon Cowell to join this years series of I’m A Celebrity.

Ant told the Daily Star: ‘I’ll be having a word with the producers about getting Simon out to Australia this year for the show.

‘He clearly needs to give his career a boost. Now we’re getting paid more than him, Simon needs to up his profile. He’d be great in the jungle. But I reckon the snakes would be more scared of him than he would be of them.’

Dec added: ‘When we were filming Britain’s Got Talent and the news came out about our deal Simon was steaming. He hissed, “You’ve curdled my milk”. He was so unhappy.

‘The poor guy can’t bear the thought of anyone being paid more than him. We love winding him up.’

The Mother of Big Brother presenter, Davina McCall has revealed that she hasn’t seen her daughter for more than seven years and has never met her grandchildren.

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper:

“The only way I can communicate with her is by fax to her husband.”

Hardly surprising since she abandoned Davina when she was three years old and left her in the care of her grandparents!

Anyway I’m sure I heard Davina on the phone to her mum when she was filming that hair dye advert…..

The father of Big Brother ex housemate, Seany O’Kane has outed him today as being straight!

He said: “My son’s not gay, it was all a game plan. But sadly it was one that backfired on him.

“I know he kissed Gerry but he is not gay. He was doing it for the cameras.”

That would explain his night with Shabnam then!

Big Brother housemates were asked to place their nominations for eviction at 4am this morning.

As part of the new sleep deprivation task, the housemates are only allowed to sleep for a colletive 4 hours over the next two days.

Jonathan said: “This is cruel. I bet it will make good viewing though. I can see some serious rows kicking off.”

Watching Big Brother housemate Brian last night, trying to pretend that he had never heard of Shakespeare, made me very very suspicious.

Not only did he claim never to have heard of the play Romeo and Juliet, but he also asked who Shakespeare was and added:

“What’s Romeo and Juliet? Ain’t Romeo that geezer from So Solid Crew?”

I got the distinct impression that Brian was lying, he just didn’t convince me at all. i think he is trying to play the part of the harmless dumbass…after all it worked for Jade Goody didn’t it. I really believe he is trying to emulate her Big Brother success, but if he really wants to succeed at this, he will need to develop some acting skills as his performance last night was very very poor!
