The Celebrity Big Brother housemates are getting ready to nominate again, after the Princess of Wales’s uncle, Gary Goldsmith, became the first contestant on this year’s Celebrity Big Brother to be evicted from the house on Friday (8 March).
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 – and Love Island winner Ekin-Su.

David has successfully stolen the clown “body”
Doing pretty well at this “bad cop” lark, David…

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.

Now for the shopping task, with an interesting theme
Curious that ITV went with a game where contestants have to pretend to be corrupt police officers. Also, I covet Sharon’s dressing gown.
I’m also so here for Lauren’s line of questioning, just now for example, we heard: “Did they catch Jack the Ripper?”

Talk turns to Donald Trump…
Sharon is talking about her time working with Donald Trump on Celebrity Apprentice, claiming he would only display interest in someone if he thought they were “a pretty woman”.
“When he came to the UK for a state visit, he walked in front of the late Queen,” she recalls, referring to how Trump broke royal protocol by walking in front of Queen Elizabeth II in 2018.
“What, our queen?!” Lauren exclaims. No idea who else she thinks Sharon might have been referring to.
Fortunately, Sharon says, he won’t be around for long (he’s 77).
“Good point,” a fawning Louis says. “That’s a very good point.”

We’re starting with reactions to Gary’s ejection from the Celebrity Big Brother house
Louis Walsh gives me the ick, he really does. Very blatant sucking up to his former X Factor colleague Sharon Osbourne, whom I imagine he thinks has a good chance of winning. And now immediately admitting he was “hamming it up deliberately” and “pretending to be shocked”. Meanwhile, Sharon Osbourne is confused about what Gary did for a living. Your guess is as good as mine, luv.

Hello and welcome to the show…
Hello, it’s me liveblogging Celebrity Big Brother tonight, no idea why. I can’t say I’ve been paying too much attention but it looks as though Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh have had plenty to say.
