BIG Brother housemates will nominate each other for eviction LIVE on air this week.

Bosses will spring the move on the wannabes on Wednesday night in a bid to boost ratings.

The contestants may also have to nominate in front of each other in a further bid to pile on the drama.

Chiefs are worried after just two million viewers watched host Davina McCall boot Cairon Austin-Hill, 18, out of the house on Friday.

That was a million down on the previous week's eviction. Saturday's highlights show drew just 1.2million.

Meanwhile Oxford graduate Freddie Fisher was given the chance to dump his nickname "Halfwit".

Bosses of the Channel 4 show made him change his moniker at the start of the series - and also insisted glamour model Sophie Reade, 20, be called "Dogface".

As his 24th birthday gift yesterday, posh Freddie was told he could either get his own name back, give Sophie hers - or let Noirin Kelly, 25, finally remove her marker-pen glasses and moustache.

BOOKIES William Hill said betting on Friday's eviction was the lowest in nine years.
