Surprise double Big Brother eviction on Wednesday

Big Brother officials have announced a double eviction from the house on Wednesday during the semi-final of the final series of the show.

Michelle Bass, 'nasty' Nick Bateman and Vanessa Feltz all face the boot after being nominated by their fellow housemates.

The nominations, which took place on Sunday afternoon, had a twist. Housemates had to spin a roulette wheel which decided the novel way in which they should say who they'd nominated and why.

Brian, who inexplicably came out of the Diary Room in tears, had to draw his chosen housemates, while Chantelle and Victor had to rap their nominations. Preston and Vanessa gargled their choices, Michelle, Nikki and Ulrika had to mime and Nick was given a 'dare' option.

After the evictions there will be seven contestants left to battle each other for the Ultimate Big Brother crown, which will be awarded during Friday's grand finale.

After the nominations, housemates had to create a television talk show called Feltz, hosted by the presenter.

Housemates made up the crew, audience and the show's guests.

Vanessa interviewed Chantelle and Preston about love on reality television programmes and Nikki about her tantrums.

Brian, who won the show in 2001, is the bookies' favourite to win the series. Bookmakers William Hill have him priced at 2/5. Chantelle Houghton is in the running to come second at 9/4 while Nikki Grahame is third at 12/1.
