We predicted yesterday that Nikki would face eviction again this week for the third time running, but we ddn’t anticipate her facing 3 of her closest allies in the house.

The nomination process started as 5 of the housemates (Lea, Lisa, Nikki, Imogen and Glyn) were informed that due to rule breaking they would be forbidden to nominate this week. They were also made to chose one of the rule breakers to stand for eviction this week. Both Lisa and Glyn chose Nikki, automatically placing her up for the public vote this week.

The rest of the housemates were then allowed to nominate in private. Their nominations were reported by The Sun as follows:

Richard had voted for Imogen for “lying and cheating”. He said: “Dull, ordinary and fake – that’s what Imogen is about. She spends all her days putting on make-up and being all Miss Wales. It’s really sickening – she’s very false and a cheat and a liar. Why’s she here?”

He ripped into Glyn saying: “When he came into the house he was this wonderboy, he came from a small town and had small town qualities.

“Now he’s rapidly becoming the reincarnate of Sezer – Mr Cool with slits in his eyebrows, getting all dressed up…the stud of the house with the ladies.

“He’s becoming miserable. His ego’s beginning to grow and grow and grow.”

Susie voted for Lisa and Mikey. She said: “Lisa’s very short tempered and also she’s a very heavy smoker which means when she has a lack of cigarettes it makes her bad tempered.”

She voted for Mikey for telling her to dismiss ‘Watergate’ – when Grace threw water at Susie. She said: “He had a good idea she was going to do it.”

Aisleyne voted for Lisa and Mikey – even though she has now confessed to fancying him – and Mikey voted for Lisa and Susie, who he said had no reason to be in the house: “She’s not even fun.”

Pete nominated Lisa and Imogen. He said “Lisa’s so paranoid, it makes it a bit hard for me to be close to her – it’s pushed me away.”

Pete is now the only housemate never to have been nominated.
