Your support makes all the difference.The Celebrity Big Brother housemates have now waved goodbye to three contestants after Lauren Simon was evicted during Tuesday night’s episode. She follows in the footsteps of the Princess of Wales’s uncle, Gary Goldsmith, who became the first contestant on this year’s series to be evicted.
Months after the reality series titan returned on ITV, the celebrity version has been resurrected in the hopes of emulating the success of the latest civilian series, which was won by Jordan Sangha in November.
Surviving contestants include X Factor judge Louis Walsh– who has already shocked viewers with an “incredibly rude” comment – Love Island winner Ekin-Su and Strictly Come Dancing professional Nikita Kuzmin.
In the latest episode, Sharon Osbourne, who was in the series as a “celebrity lodger”, left the CBB house. She was only planned to be in the series for several days and was given a private en-suite bedroom separate from the rest of the housemates.
As for the eviction, it was between Fern Britton, Louis Walsh and Lauren Simon, but it was the Real Housewives of Cheshire star who was voted off.
Meanwhile, Louis launched a scathing attack on the pop duo Jedward, calling them “vile”, and he later made several comments about Ronan Keating.

Only a mild overreaction from David being tasked with a special secret mission
David has now been assigned the mission of Big Brother’s ‘bad cop’, which, suffice to say, he is very happy about.
He’s being asked to sabotage, misdirect and corrupt the efforts of his fellow officers. He also has to secretly select one of his housemates to be bad cop, and he’s going with Zeze.
David has successfully stolen the clown “body"
Doing pretty well at this “bad cop” lark, David...
Meanwhile, over in Tinseltown
My fab colleagues are going to be slammed tonight with the Oscars, make sure you have a look at their coverage:
Oscars 2024: Follow live as stars hit the red carpet
‘Oppenheimer’, ‘Barbie’, ‘Poor Things’ and ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ are among the films battling for Best Picture, while ‘Oppenheimer’ star Cillian Murphy seems set for Best Actor and Christopher Nolan is eyeing up Best Director
Lauren, never startle a sleeping Walsh!
Lauren just learnt the hard way that you should never try and rouse Louis Walsh from his slumber. Mainly because then you’ll have to deal with him
Does anyone actually know what’s going on?
Lauren’s called it a “loveless task” and I can tell you now, that’s what it feels like watching Celebrity Big Brother.
The other housemates are going to start worrying about David
He’s mentioned the toilet about 50 times since starting this task.
OK, nearly there
I think this might actually be worse than when the big bosses made me liveblog Love Island.
The housemates now have to gather the evidence and David is about to have a nervous breakdown
I do enjoy that they picked the housemate least able to visibly mask his emotions as the secret “bad cop”.
It’s looking as though David and Zeze have got away scott free, as Bradley and Fern are taken away in handcuffs.
