Sharon Osbourne has revealed exactly why she picked Kate Middleton's uncle to be the first Celebrity Big Brother housemate to face eviction later this week.
The Celebrity Big Brother lodger appeared on a live feed to all the housemates where she explained her reason for voting for Gary to be up for eviction this week. She was emotional as she explained why she thought he should be nominated.
Speaking to Big Brother, and not knowing Gary and everyone was watching, 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 his world, and suddenly plonked myself in the middle of his boardrooms, I'd feel the same. I think he's insecure too."
As they all looked at Gary, he admitted: "To be fair, this isn't my world. I'd go back to normal life."
Tonight's episode of the ITV series show the housemates gathered in the living area as Sharon sat in the Diary Room. After putting David Potts, Kate Middleton's Uncle Gary Goldsmith, and YouTube star Zeze Millz at risk, it's time she makes her decision. As Sharon makes her choice, the remaining housemates watch it live.

Sharon, please give the name of the housemate who will receive your nomination."

Before revealing Sharon's decision, ITV viewers will hear about how Gary, David, and Zeze feel being on edge. She questions Carole Middleton's brother asking: "So, we're going to have a nice little chat Gary. Tell me why did you accept the offer to come into the house? ".
Gary tells the former X Factor judge: "It does bother me what the public perception of me is. The black sheep of the family. I'm a normal bloke. It just so happens that my niece married Will." Then Sharon chats with David and says she was surprised to see him come into the house with "no trousers on".
She tells him: "When I first met you and I saw you with no trousers on, I was quite shocked. And then when we got talking, I realised it's your thing. Not that I'm a prude because I'm not. What did you feel like when you found out you were in the ring of fire? ". David answers her: "I wasn't shocked at all because I've had this quite a lot in my life. On first impressions, people are a bit like 'woo, he's just dying for attention' when that is just not the case."
Lastly, Sharon talks to Zeze alone, and the YouTube star shares: "I get a lot of backlash online because I say how I feel." When asked about her hopes for her time on Celebrity Big Brother, Zeze says: "I think it's more about people seeing a different side of me. People think I'm this hard-headed person."
