^Note 1 : As the first three housemates to enter the house, Lauren, Louie and Sophie became the ‘Cult of Celebrity‘, and had to unanimously decide who would face the first eviction. They nominated Ron on Day 2, Danielle on Day 3 and Vicky on Day 4.

^Note 2 : After the first eviction on Day 7, survivors Ron and Vicky were told they could jointly choose one housemate to automatically face the next public vote. They opted for Louie. All housemates except Ron and Vicky then nominated as normal, but could not nominate Louie.

^Note 3 : As well as finding out they were nominated, Bruce, Courtney, Lauren, Louie and Sophie were shown who nominated them.

^Note 4 :  Upon her return to the house following her fake exit, Carol was given the opportunity to choose one housemate to automatically face the fourth eviction. She chose Courtney. All other housemates except Carol then nominated face-to-face, but could not nominate Courtney. The fourth eviction was a double eviction.

^Note 5 : For the final round of nominations housemates had to nominate in pairs, each pair chose two housemates to face the public vote. The pairs were Abz & Charlotte, Carol & Lauren, Courtney & Mario and Louie & Vicky. The eviction was a double.

^Note 6 : For the final two days the public were voting to win rather than to save.
