Gary Goldsmith is first housemate to be evicted from Celeb Big Brother house – live

Here is the Celebrity Big Brother 2024 housemates – all in one place for your viewing pleasure.

Going by the audience reaction during the live launch, this year’s favourites currently are: Nikita Kuzmin, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Marisha Wallace, Levi Roots, Bradley Riches and Fern Britton.

On Thursday (7 March), Osbourne set her sights on Adele, highlighting what she believes to be the “Someone Like You” singer’s exaggerated British accent.

When Kate Middleton’s uncle gary Goldsmith defended the singer, saying he “loved” her candour, Osbourne replied: “It’s like, cut the crap – you don’t talk like that anymore. Just sing, just be true to who you are. But she does all this old English, you know?’

Jacob Stolworthy reports:

However, she quickly shook off any questions and fans pointed out that she seemed to grow “defensive” when talking about Love Island.

The 71-year-old opened up to housemates Lauren Simon and Louis Walsh during Thursday’s episode telling them she had been unable to secure a job in America since leaving her CBS show The Talk in 2021.

When asked if she could work on American television now, she replied: “I can legally, but nobody will employ me because they say I’m racist.”

The presenter was removed from her show after defending Piers Morgan over his criticism of the Duchess of Sussex.

As many high points as the show has had, there have also been moments of high controversy. Here’s a rundown of some of the most memorable…

As Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary Goldsmith is evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house, Katie Rosseinsky writes that the “black sheep” is a family figure everyone recognises.

The X Factor judge revealed that she sold her house to Christina Aguilera but didn’t tell her that her home was a tourist attraction for sightseeing buses.

Zeze and Lauren hugged and appear to have put their differences aside after ‘orange-gate’.

The YouTuber had initially refused a hug from the Real Housewives star when she attempted to make amends.

The music mogul’s former colleagues slammed him, with Osbourne accusing Cowell of scuppering her chance of appearing on The Masked Singer due to an X-Factor obligation.

Osbourne declared she would not work with Cowell for “all the money in the world” and said he “doesn’t know how to keep friends” before the pair made fun of what he would say to contestants during the singing competition and the way he dresses.

Gary Goldsmith became the first person to be evicted after losing out to Lauren Simon in the public vote.
