Big Brother star, Charlie Drummond, has admitted that he is backing fellow Geordie Joe McElderry to win this year’s X Factor.

Charlie told The Shields Gazette:

“I’m backing Joe 100 per cent, and I’m so pleased he’s in Cheryl’s category as well – Geordies together.

“It’s great two South Tynesiders have been in the two biggest reality TV shows this year.

“He did really well on Saturday, I knew he would get through but I just had to pick the phone up, it’s best to be sure.

“Everyone I have spoken to I have been telling them to vote for Joe.

“I have always watched X Factor and I will definitely be watching this year.”

He added: ” He’s in with a really good chance, he’s got it all – he’s good looking, young and can sing. I can’t see why he can’t win it.

“If ever he needs any advice on how to handle the media when the show’s over, I will definitely help him out – from one Sanddancer to another.”

I knew it! I just knew it! As soon as Rodrigo was evicted it made sense that Charlie would be next.

Yes Charlie Drummond was the second person evicted from the Big Brother house on tonight’s final. Charlie really ahsn’t done himself any favours this week, you think he’d have been on best behavior, being so close to the end and all.

So who’s out next? What about David?

Charlie Drummond has been punished by Big Brother for talking about nominations.

Charlie went to offer his nomination yesterday when Big Brother said:

“Yesterday, at 1.06am in a conversation with Lisa and Karly, you said ‘I normally struggle [to nominate], but now people have done things. I didn’t [have anyone to nominate], but now I’ve got one definite, haven’t I?’” Big Brother continued, “It is strictly against the rules for housemates to discuss their nominations with each other. Therefore you must be punished.”

“You must remain silent until midnight tonight. If Big Brother hears one peep out of you before the stroke of midnight, you will face Eviction on Friday. If you communicate anything about this punishment to your fellow housemates, you will also face Eviction.”

Later on when Charlie fell asleep, Big Brother sounded an alarm to wake him. He said “I’m up” before slamming his hands over his mouth, realising that he had just failed the challenge. This means that Charlie will face eviction this week and if he is up against Halfwit he’s in for some trouble!

Charlie Drummond has agreed with Unreality TV and accused Noirin of leading on some of the men in the Big brother house.

Some of the housemates were discussing the fact that Freddie and Marcus were acting like Noirin’s lapdogs when Charlie said: “It’s cos Noirin’s a massive flirt. You must be. Sree, Marcus, Halfwit.”

“I’m not,” Noirin replied.

“So why do they think that? You must be,” insisted Charlie.

“Why do they think they have a chance?” asked Lisa.

“Noirin flirts too much,” Charlie piped up.

“I don’t. I’m friendly,” Noirin claimed.

“Over-friendly,” Charlie corrected her.

Over friendly is right!

Big Brother housemates Marcus Akin, Charlie Drummond and Rodrigo Lopes actually applied for the show last year according to The Sun.

The trio were eventually rejected from the main lineup but they did make it as far as the test house, in which producers watched how they interacted as a group.

Producers are said to have been severely disappointed by the calibre of applicants this year and called upon Marcus. Charlie and Rodrigo to step in instead.

A source said: “There was a real dearth of contestants this time. Bosses had hardly any one to choose from.”

Charlie Drummond has been banned from taking part in Big Brother nominations tomorrow.

As part of the Tudor task, King Siavash has been given the power to remove peoples nomination privileges and Charlie was his first victim.

Charlie doesn’t seem to upset by the move and no doubt he will be elated tomorrow as housemates may be required to nominate live on TV.

This certainly is a weird love triangle!

First we see openly gay Charlie Drummond climb into the bath with the gorgeous Kris. The pair giggled and blew bubbles at one another before Sophie took Charlie’s place and locked lips with Kris.

This is obviously one very frustrated bunch of people.

The Big Brother housemates must be getting desperate for food! Last night Charlie Drummond thought that he would supplement his diet with a quick nibble of Sophie Reade’s toenail!

As Charlie put the nail in his mouth, Noirin screamed “No, you didn’t!” Charlie then spat it out and tricked Karly into thinking he put it down her top

“Get it out, get it out, where is it!?” she screamed.

Sophie was pleased to get rid of it, “I needed someone to do that for me. I just closed my eyes, it didn’t hurt.”

Now I didn’t think that Kris was gay but after watching this clip I think there is a little bit of man love lurking in there.

Watch as Kris and Charlie ‘punish’ Sree for stealing Charlie’s water.

Earlier today, Charlie was chosen to take on the role in the Lead Dancer in this week’s shopping task. Housemates spent this afternoon rehearsing the Ole Bamboo dance routine.

They divided themselves into groups as follows:

Group 1
Lisa
Noireen
Rodrigo
Dogface

Group 2
Kris
Siavash
Karly
Cairon

Group 3
Sree
Marcus
Halfwit
Angel

Housemates have now returned their rehearsal costumes, props, DVD players and instructional DVDs, this will be returned to them tomorrow morning for a second rehearsal period.

Their final performance will then take place tomorrow afternoon.
