Lauren Simon is predicted to be the first housemates to be evicted from Celebrity Big Brother.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star broke down in tears after being nominated by her fellow housemates and discovering she would face the first public vote with Gary Goldsmith – who had been previously chosen by Sharon Osbourne. After receiving six nominations from Bradley Riches, Colson Smith, Gary, Marisha Wallace, Nikita Kuzmin and Zeze Mills, it was clear Lauren was stunned by their admissions.
She later said to Sharon Osbourne: “I’ve obviously p****d a couple of people off," to which Sharon told her: “You haven’t done anything.” Lauren replied: “The thing 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?"
Lauren's fellow housemates have taken against her (ITV)Ahead of the eviction tonight, Lauren has been dealt a huge blow which could mean her time in the Big Brother house may soon be over. Bookmakers Ladbrokes have tipped the reality star to lose out to Gary in the public vote.
She's tipped to go with odds of 1/2 while Kate Middleton's uncle follows behind at 6/4. Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "The latest odds suggest Lauren's stint in the CBB house will be short-lived, with an eviction seemingly imminent."

On Thursday, Lauren was seen in tears in the diary room after the nominations were revealed. She said: "I’m obviously a bit tired. I’m emotional. It was a bit of a shock but I knew that we’ve all voted and someone had to leave. I’m having such a nice time.

"I feel that there’s obviously more than two people who have voted for me in that room. I’m struggling with not knowing who it is. I don’t like living with snakes. I am who I am. I try to be the best I can be and get on with everybody. But I suppose I’m Marmite, you love me or you hate me."
Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu also shared her own theory with Big Brother as to why Lauren was facing eviction. She said in the Diary Room: “I think, maybe, some people see her as a threat, maybe Zeze. I just didn’t see her get up and say sorry, no empathy and I just thought 'wow'.”
Elsewhere during Thursday night’s episode, Ekin-Su was nominated by Fern Britton as her least favourite housemate. Explaining her decision in the diary room, Fern said: “She’s a couple of times suggested that I could fit into one of her bikinis and get into the hot tub.
“You know, show off your cellulite, see how you roll your bosoms up like a swiss roll and tuck them in your bra," she adds. "But from my point of view it’s like I’ve had those days darling, thanks very much but no.”
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
