Celebrity Big Brother housemate eliminated in brutal backdoor eviction

The remaining housemates battling it out for the Celebrity Big Brother trophy are:

Former X Factor judge Louis Walsh

This Morning star Fern Britton

Reality personality David Potts

Coronation Street actor Colson Smith

Strictly Come Dancing professional Nikita Kuzmin

Bradley was sitting waiting for a loved one to enter the house, but was instead met with AJ Odudu, who told him he’s become the seventh housemate to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The Strictly star has a romantic reunion with his girlfriend in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

She says all her family have “taken lemons off the trees to make limencello for when you get home”.

But will he be returning a winner?

“I’m so proud of you, mum – you’ve done so well,” she tells her, adding that her cat Barbara misses her the most.

Let’s just be thankful it wasn’t Phillip Schofield who visited her…

there are big hugs and tears, and she brings him big news: his house plants are still alive!

“I’m ready to come home,” he tells her. Not long to go now!

Eighties pop star Sinitta enters the house to give Louis a few “home truths”, and scolds him for being “mean” to his fellow housemates.

First up is David, who is visited by his best friend Troy, who tells him: “You’re smashing it! Everyone’s absolutely so, so proud of you. Make sure you bloody win on Friday.”

Speaking to Fern about growing up, David said: “The bullying started in year eight, because when I was in year seven going into high school my older brother was in year 11, so it didn’t really happen then.”

Fern asked: “And you were 11, 12 – did you know you were gay?” to which David said: “I knew there was something different at that stage. I was like 12, so I didn’t know a hundred per cent what it was, but I just knew it was different because I did have girlfriends and stuff, and I knew deep down that it wasn’t true.”

He continued: “I left school when I was 16 and then that summer holidays as soon as I’d finished high school that’s when I came out and told everyone. I went home sat my mum down, told her and she was like it’s fine, I know, she was like don’t worry about it like it’s OK.”

About telling his dad, David explained: “I could just hear my dad walking up the stairs and I remember I was sat in my bedroom on my bed and I was so scared. He was like, ‘Are you alright?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, are you?’ and he was like, ‘Oh, your mum’s just told me what you had a discussion with her about earlier. You don’t need to worry – it’s not gonna change a single thing’ and then he gave me a hug.”

Fern Britton is giving Louis Walsh a head massage, and he just asked her for a “happy ending”.

As a joke, we should add.

Louis Walsh is actually helping up with the housework. He’s drying up! He’s also being nice about some celebrities today, too – Alison Hammond and Leona Lewis have escaped the ire of the ultimate critic.
