LISA IS THE THIRD CELEBRITY TO BE EVICTED FROM
THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE


Since John's eviction over 48 hours ago, the nation has been voting to decide who will win Celebrity Big Brother out of the remaining six housemates. During tonight's live 9pm show, while the housemates were enjoying a game of 'hide and seek', the voting lines were temporarily suspended and Big Brother surprised LISA I'ANSON by informing her that as the housemate with the least 'votes to win', she would be the third person to be evicted from the house. As LISA was told to immediately leave the house, she did not have a chance to say goodbye to her now former housemates before meeting Davina McCall in the outside world.

Of the votes cast 3% voted for LISA to win Celebrity Big Brother.

The surprise announcement came as the housemates were in the middle of enjoying a children's party. All the housemates had dressed up in nursery rhyme character costumes and were playing games such as 'Pass the Parcel', 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey' and 'Port and Starboard'. The last party game was 'Hide and Seek', and LISA, dressed as LITTLE BO PEEP, was called to the Diary Room and told that as seeker, she would have to count to 50 while her fellow housemates hid around the house and garden.

On reaching 50, LISA had to say, "coming, ready or not," to which Big Brother replied, "not". She was then told by Big Brother that she was the housemate with the least number of votes and would have to leave immediately via the Diary Room side door. On hearing the news, LISA gasped and said, "Oh my God that's amazing." She then quietly cheered and left the house to be greeted by Davina and the awaiting audience.

Meanwhile, the remaining five hiding housemates were clueless as to what had happened to her and were still waiting for her to discover them in their hiding places....

Votes (via telephone, mobile and interactive TV) cost 50p each, with 25p going to charity. 16p of every vote cast will be split equally among the celebrity housemates' chosen charities. The remaining profits from the public vote (9p per vote) will go to the appeal to help victims of the Asian tsunami disaster.

The telephone lines will re-open at 10pm for viewers to vote for the housemate they want to win Celebrity Big Brother. One more housemate will be evicted on Friday 21 before the live final takes place on Sunday 23 January at 9pm.
