CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER TONIGHT: MONDAY 18 MARCH

THE HOUSEMATES CELEBRATE ST PATRICK’S DAY

The next morning, the housemates are woken up to the melodic vocals of Irish girl group B*Witched and their hit song ‘C’est La Vie’ to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. The Housemates discover the house has been transformed with green tinsel, multicoloured balloons and orange and white bunting to mark the occasion. 

And that’s not all, Big Brother has laid on a day of festivities to celebrate, including supplying green tutus, waistcoats and top hats galore to Housemates so they can look the part, a keg filled with Guinness so they can experience Ireland’s famous dry stout and ingredients for a hearty Irish stew. 

In the kitchen, all housemates work together to make the Irish delicacy, overseen by head chef David, whilst true to form, Louis watches on. 

THERE’S A SNAKE IN THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE 

Later that day, Big Brother calls for one Housemate to go to the diary room. Colson is quick to nominate Fern to go, saying: “you’re the only one I trust”. 

As she enters the diary room, Fern finds a pot of gold on the diary room chair with a red toy snake on top. Big Brother tells her: “Fern you’ve just found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. That means you’ve been granted one wish, the biggest wish of all. You must choose one housemate to be evicted. St Patrick famously banished the snakes from Ireland, and now by finding the pot of gold, you have been selected to banish a Housemate.” 

To select the Housemate she would like to evict, Fern is told she has to secretly place the red snake on their pillow. 

Later housemates are relaxing in the bedroom, and are told: “It appears St Patrick hasn’t driven out all the snakes… there is a slivery intruder in the bedroom, housemates must find it now.”

As the housemates run around the bedroom searching for the intruder, who will be surprised with a snake on their pillow? And what shock twist does Big Brother have in store next? 

COLSON THINKS MARISHA IS PLAYING A GAME AS HOUSEMATES CAST NOMINATIONS

It’s time to nominate again, as Housemates are called upon one-by-one to go to the diary room and reveal who they would like to face this week’s eviction.

Colson nominates Marisha, saying: “There’s been a couple of questionable things in the house in the past couple of days. Firstly at the kissing booth, her reasons for nominating Ekin-Su, came across in a bit of a game playing way. Yesterday as part of the shopping task we had the courage element, I felt like I wanted to go forward and say ‘me’ and Marisha sat there in silence. It just made me feel like there might be, I don’t know… an agenda, a game”

As well as gameplaying, which housemate will be nominated for being “too happy, singing and smiling all the time”, who will be nominated for being “disingenuous” and who will reveal they and their chosen housemate are like “oil and water, we don’t mix”.

With nominations made, who will join Nikita at risk of eviction this week and who will be sailing through to the final? 

Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1. Stream the series so far on ITVX.
