"It's been a strong week for Bradley and Fern, however... the pair started the series as relative outsiders but have since won the backing of punters and now look set for a two-horse race for this year's crown." After learning she was facing the public vote, Lauren couldn’t help but flee the lounge area after she was overwhelmed with emotion.
Just four days into the new series, the TV personality was “emotional and in shock” after she learned her fellow housemates had nominated her. Gary had previously been nominated by celebrity lodger Sharon Osbourne earlier in the week. The mum-of-two received the most votes in the house with a whopping six votes. Initially she told Sharon and Louis Walsh: “I’ve obviously p***ed a couple of people off."
The former X Factor judge insisted: "You haven’t done anything wrong” as Lauren continued: "The think is with me, I’ve heard it, I’ve taken it on board. I’m not going to change. I am what I am. Every day changes here, doesn’t it?" But moments later, Lauren couldn’t help but burst into tears as she ran off to the bathroom to compose herself before returning to the group.
It comes after Sharon revealed the real reason why she put Gary up for eviction. Speaking to Big Brother, completely unaware Gary and other viewers were watching her final decision, she said: "The housemate that I nominate is Gary. I don’t think he’s that comfortable here, I think he’s awkward with himself being here too.
"It’s very tough for him; he told me about things. He’s brave to have come in here. I somehow don’t think this is the place for him. He’s the oddball. If I went into this world, and suddenly plonked myself in the middle of his boardrooms, I’d feel the same. I think he’s insecure too."
Celebrity Big Brother Sunday to Friday at 9pm on ITV1 or catch up on ITVX
