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.

“Just be true to who you are.”

Holly Patrick reports:
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Zeze Millz were involved in a clash over Love Island on Thursday’s (7 March) episode of Celebrity Big Brother, baffling viewers as to why tensions appeared to rise between the pair.
The Love Island winner, 29, and the presenter, 34, were applying makeup when Ekin-Su shared: “This is not like Love Island.”
Zeze replied: “I would never do Love Island, but if you are in a hot country it is kind of like a free holiday.”
The pair then appeared to have a tense exchange which confused viewers, some of whom branded the conversation as “weird.”
Later, she shut down Colson Smith as he asked her if contestants on Love Island had to nominate people to leave the villa.
“Please, just let it go...” she said.
