Who do you think will be returning to our screens this week as part of Big Brothers latest twist?
The public are currently voting on who they would like to place in the secret house next door, and the list of housemates is as follows:
Grace, Jayne, Lea, Lisa, Michael, Nikki, Sam, Spiral, Mikey and Susie
Dawn, Shahbaz, George, Bonnie and Sezer have not been invited back due to reasons outlined here.
Out of the available ex-housemates I would like to see Grace, Nikki and Lisa return, and I don’t really care who else, they all bore me so let the British public decide!

The bookies called it right last week when they predicted that Sezer would be evicted, I wonder will they be as lucky this week.
Most of the big UK bookies are now predicting that the annoying transexual Sam will be leaving on Friday night. Paddy Power are making Sam the red hot favourite for the chop at 1/5. Nikki is this week’s eviction outsider at 3/1.
Perhaps if Sam stopped stalking everyone, and latching onto people who are obviously annoyed by her she would fare a bit better, and last more than only 12 days!

Big Brother housemates Lea and Sam had a heart to heart today when they spoke about their difficult childhoods, and shared stories on how they were bullied as children.
Ex Porn actress Lea had an exciting childhood but shared her regrets about how her life developed. “I was clubbing when I was 11,” she explained. “It’s all I know.”
“Sometimes you have to grow up quickly and get on with life,” she continued, with Glyn enquiring: “You feel like you missed out then - on a childhood?” “Yeah,” she replied, solemnly.
Sam then began to open up saying
“Because there’s been so much negativity in my life I’m very wary of people, I used to find it very hard to communicate with people. I was very shy at school.
“Then a couple of people took me under their wing and said ‘you’re a special person you should just be who you are.’
“I used to be bullied even by people younger than me.”
Lea pitched in: “I used to get bullied but by much older kids - like fifth years when I was a first year.”
Sam added: “I think it’s really unfair not to be accepted.” Lea said: “I wanted to be accepted but maybe that means you’ll still get bullied.”

Jonathon McNaughton, an old colleague of Big Brother housmate Sam Brodie has said that he is convinced she could go all the way and scopp the £100,000 prize if she just continues to be herself.
Jonathan used to work with Sam, and is eager that people know what she is really like.
“I received a text message off a friend on the night Sam went in saying turn on Channel Four now. I couldn’t believe it when I saw her entering the house. It’s really weird watching somebody you know in the house because you are so used to it just being a bunch of strangers,” he said.
On her “Big Brother” profile she describes herself as a lively, caring, accepting and non-judgemental person, a description Jonathon fully agrees with and believes the public will see as the show goes on.
“She is a very genuine and down to earth person,” he said. “I chatted to her quite a bit at work and she was just one of those people who blended in with everyone. We got on very well. She wanted to be known as a female then and nobody had a problem with it in the slightest. She is very open about it and everybody knew within a couple of weeks.”
Jonathon has hit back at criticism of Sam on websites. “These people have no idea what she is like and should get to know her before passing judgement,” he said. “They seem to be basing most of their criticism on the fact Sam is a man who dresses like a woman and that is just not fair. The record definitely needs to be set straight.
“Fortunately there are quite a few people who are being nice though and that is good to see. It is far too early to pass judgement.”
