From Channel 4 site:

It's an edge of your seat, nail-biting atmosphere in the House this afternoon. None of the housemates saw that nomination twist coming.


After being sprung for discussing nominations, Glyn, Imogen, Lea, Lisa and Nikki were forced to nominate each other in front of all the housemates. They weren't allowed to nominate themselves and were told that refusal to nominate would result in further punishment.

Big Brother made the five punished housemates stand up and nominate. Glyn went first and reluctantly gave a name: "I am really sorry for this, but the person I am choosing is Nikki."

Imogen made her first nomination ever, even though it wasn't in usual circumstances: "I'm really sorry to say... it's Lea," she said.

"If I don't do it, do I go up?" asked an upset Lea. "I'm so, so sorry... I can't...Imogen...sorry babe," she finally mustered.

Feeling the pressure on her, Lisa stood deep in thought. The tension in the lounge was unbearable, with the housemates shocked at what was happening before their eyes.

Lisa finally nominated: "Nikki... I'm so sorry, you can choose me."

Knowing that she would face the public vote again, Nikki began to well up. With mascara-smudged eyes, Nikki completed the harsh round of nominations, choosing Lisa.

That'll teach those pesky rule-breakers!
