Nominations Begin: Secret powers & First Eviction Loom

Tension mounts in the house as Big Brother gathered the Housemates on the sofas for their very first round of nominations tonight.

Big Brother revealed that three secret game-changing powers had already been used after being earned during the launch night twist:

• Immunity was granted to Chris, making him safe from the first eviction.
• The Guardian Angel power was used to protect Daley, giving him immunity as well.
• One Housemate was given the Killer Nomination power, allowing them to choose someone to face eviction — and they chose Mickey.

Reacting with a mix of humour and disbelief, Mickey quipped, “Shall I pack now?” Big Brother simply replied, “Relax Mickey, stay where you are.”

So far, Mickey is the first to face the public vote, while Chris and Daley are safe.

As the individual nominations began, Angellica was first up, nominating Michael. She explained, “I can tell you so much about him… but I don’t think he knows anything about me.”

When Michael took his turn, he nominated Patsy, sharing a moment of vulnerability: “She asked me something about ‘why do I wear a wig?’… I just don’t like my hair being raised. People have sensitivities — and that’s my sensitivity.”

In the Diary Room, Ella nominated Chesney, saying, “Since knowing nominations were happening today, Chesney’s only taken his time out to get to know me now.”

But it was Mickey who made the boldest stand, refusing to nominate anyone: “I choose not to evict anyone. I refuse to do that. I will not pick two people to toss off the shelf.”

Will Mickey follow the rules and make his nominations? And who else will join him in facing the first live eviction?

Find out tonight at 9pm on ITV1 & ITVX.
