Day 3: Jasmine erupts after face-to-face nominations



22 mins ago


To say that Jasmine has not taken the news that – together with Rhian who also received three votes – she is facing the public vote is an understatement. Her immediate response was to storm outside for a shocked debrief with a comparatively composed Rhian. She was particularly unsettled to receive a vote from Martin.
"I put so much time and effort into him," she wailed.
Martin and Prince Lorenzo tried separately to explain their reasons only to be batted away like the most intolerable of pests.
With Jasmine uninterested in hearing his princely justifications, Lorenzo cornered Julian. "I think she feels betrayed," muttered Loz, who had spent a serious hour listening to Jasmine’s life story the previous night.
It seems that, in a terrible palava of a mix-up, he thought Jasmine wanted to go home to her son.
Coleen, whose two votes were justified by 'think of the children!' was busy calling 'bull****' on that logic. She thinks people that use it are trying to appear sympathetic to the public.



Martin made a second manful attempt to diffuse Jasmine’s woe, repeating, "It's only a game."
"It's not a game to me!" said Jasmine, before retiring to the bathroom for a proper blub.
Who should step into the ring at this point of emotional drama? That would be House Princess Sam, justifying her crown with soothing words. However the real heavyweight drive to make Jasmine feel better was spearheaded by Julie. The matriarch of soap stepped into the situation assuring the distraught nominee,
"I happen to adore you and you know it. Come on girl."
The pair then trooped off to the Diary Room for a long session with BB. The Corrie legend delivered a series of touching embraces while Jasmine’s mood progressively lifted.
Phew, with all those fireworks it was easy to forget that there’s another person up for eviction. Rhian had a discreet weep while sitting in a circle of dazed housemates in the garden.
We have not seen the end of this evening’s drama. Even as we type hostility between Jasmine and The Prince and Jasmine and Danica is bubbling away. Stay tuned to the website to find out when these tensions boil over...
