The finalists of Celebrity Big Brother have been revealed as David Potts, Nikita Kuzmin, Louis Walsh, Fern Britton and Colson Smith.
Thursday night saw Bradley Riches become the seventh celebrity to be evicted in a shocking and brutal twist.
The latest episode saw the housemates being treated to a surprise one-minute visit from a loved one in the secret rendezvous spot, while their fellow housemates watched from the lounge.
Louis was surprised by 80s icon Sinitta, who berated him for his snide comments in the house, while Nikita burst into tears upon seeing his girlfriend and Fern got to see her youngest daughter.
However, when it came to Bradley’s turn, he was instead greeted by host AJ Odudu, who broke the news that he was going home, after receiving the least amount of public votes.

The actor, 22, was able to go back to the house one final time to say his goodbyes, with his fellow housemates left stunned and upset by the backdoor eviction.
Speaking in the diary room, Bradley – who opened up about his diagnosis with autism while on the show – gushed that he had had the ‘best time’.
He said: ‘I feel like I had the absolute best time, I’m so grateful I made so many amazing friends and for me to do this, I felt like I was scared to do it and I’ve done it and I’m so happy and I’m so grateful and I’ve just had the best time so thank you Big Brother.’
Bradley becomes the latest star to be booted out, following Zeze Millz, Marisha Wallace, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Levi Roots, Lauren Simon and Gary Goldsmith.
While Sharon Osbourne also departed the house after serving eight days as the first Celebrity Big Brother lodger.
With the final five revealed at last, bookies have placed their bets on Former X Factor judge Louis, 71, taking the crown.
The Irish star has caused plenty of controversy while in the house, with his cruel remarks on a host of famous names, including Simon Cowell, Jedward and Ronan Keating.
But it seems the public may be appreciating his honesty and tendency to bring the drama as he is now backed to go all the way.

The latest odds from BetVictor Casino have him as 2/1 to win, after bookie previously singled out Strictly’s Nikita as the favourite.
A BetVictor spokesperson said: ‘The start of the final week in the Celebrity Big Brother house has seen a new housemate snatch the favourite tag ahead of Friday’s concluding episode, with Louis Walsh our new frontrunner to win the series.
‘Walsh was as high as 33/1 in the outright winner market last week but has been backed all the way into 2/1 as of Monday afternoon, making him the narrow favourite ahead of Nikita Kuzmin (11/5).
‘Having both had a turn as favourite over the last week, Colton Smith and David Potts have slipped back to third and fourth favourite respectively, with Coronation Street actor Colton 7/2 and Ibiza Weekender star David on 8/1.’

Celebrity Big Brother fans have been left in stitches after Louis Walsh candidly declared Fern Britton should be evicted because 'nobody will miss her'.
The music mogul, 71, discussed the housemates up for eviction on Wednesday's episode, which were Fern, 66, Marisha Wallace, 38, Zeze Millz, 34, and Nikita Kuzmin, 26.
Louis said that he felt that Marisha and Zeze should stay in the show, while admitting that he wanted Fern to go.
In the diary room he admitted: 'If I'm honest, Fern should go. She’s a nice lady… a bit boring.'
He then savagely added: 'Nobody will miss her now. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody at all.'

Louis said that he felt that Marisha and Zeze should stay in the show, while admitting that he wanted Fern to go, saying she was 'boring'
Viewers found Louis' brutal honesty hilarious, quipping that he had 'grudge' against Fern and was dragging her 'like it's his job', while many admitted they agreed with him.
Taking to social media they shared: 'Louis is so kind, politely requesting the audience get rid of Fern like a dog at the end of its life; Spot on Louis. We wouldn't have missed her. She's a bore.'
'louis saying fern should go is the first time i’ve agreed with him since this show started; Listen, I don’t like Louis but I am obsessed with how unashamedly b****y he is'.
'i don’t like louis, but he was completely right on what he said about marisha & fern; The only time I've agreed with Louis Fern should have gone instead of Zeze'.
'No one holds a grudge like Louis Walsh; Louis just keeps dogging on Fern it’s comical at this point'.
'Louis stays hating on fern like it’s his job helppp; Surprisingly, Louis might be right for once!'
'what is louis' personal vendetta against fern; Being called boring by Louis Walsh is bottom tier.
'Louis Walsh? Talking sense? About Fern Britton from This Morning? Am I in a parallel universe?; Louis has dragged Fern so much. It's hilarious'.

However, Marisha and Zeze ended up being the two latest stars to be booted from the house during Tuesday's double-eviction.
The pair received the least amount of public votes, just missing out on Friday's live final, but were both cheered by the crowd as they made their way to the Late & Live studio for their first interviews.
Meanwhile, Louis has become the bookies' favourite to win Celebrity Big Brother, despite causing plenty of controversy with his sharp remarks on a host of famous names while in the house.
But it seems the public may be appreciating his honesty and the drama he's brought as he is now backed to go all the way during Friday's final.
The latest odds from BetVictor Casino having him as 2/1 to win, edging out Strictly's Nikita, who was the previous favourite.
But fans have slammed the show as rigged, after a twist made Louis go straight through to the final.
Monday's show saw Big Brother call for one housemate to go to the diary room, with Fern going in.
She found a pot of gold with a red toy snake on top and Big Brother told her to place the snake on the pillow of the housemate she wanted to be evicted straight away.

She chose Louis to be evicted, saying he would repeat rambling conversations with her and to protect her 'own sanity' he had to go.
However, Big Brother then revealed there was a twist, as they had lied to Fern about the snake task.
Louis was called to the diary room where Big Brother revealed instead of being evicted, he had won the luck of the Irish and was safe from nominations, meaning he was guaranteed a spot in the final.
Viewers at home were furious at the 'disappointing' twist, accusing ITV of setting it up to ensure Louis got to the final and fuming: 'We aren't stupid'.
CORONATION Street star Tina O’Brien is seen caught in the middle of a vicious brawl between teenage girls near her home.
The 5ft 1in actress, 40, threw punches and put one in a headlock — but was also hit and had her hair pulled.

The actress rushed out of her £1million home wearing pink jogging bottoms as violence flared outside.
Shocking footage then sees the star trading blows on the street in a posh Manchester suburb.
A source told The Sun last night: “Tina came out to break things up — but ended up joining in. At one point, it ended up three-on-one with Tina and two girls against this other lass.
“She was throwing punches and also took a few blows herself.
“Watching her on Coronation Street, you wouldn’t think in a million years she’d get involved in something like this, especially in such a public place.”
A fight was believed to have broken out among two groups of teenage girls near Tina’s home in Bramhall, where she was understood to have been plagued by problems.
Video obtained by The Sun then shows the actress grabbing one and telling her: “Get away from the f****** house.”
A separate clip shows Tina confront another youngster, said to be aged around 15.
The actress, who plays Sarah Barlow on the ITV soap, can be heard saying: “Stop, I just said ‘Stop’.” As the girl kicks out at another teen, Tina grabs her, hits her and puts her in a headlock.
Tina, wearing a stripey top, is then punched and has her hair pulled before another teen joins in the brawl.
The star and two others are also seen pushing a girl up against a VW.

Our source added: “When you see Tina on the soap and then you see this video — it’s not what you’d expect from her.
“It’s shocking she’s got caught up in a fight with 15-year-olds.
“You also wouldn’t expect this to happen in that road, as it’s a really posh street in a nice area.”
Tina, who joined Corrie as Sarah Platt when she was 16, lives in a cul-de-sac with husband Adam Crofts and her two kids.

The violence erupted last Friday night around 10ft from her driveway, while a second brawl took place 20ft away.
A source close to the actress said she had been left “deeply disturbed” by the incident — and had reported it to police herself.
A relative of one of the girls also reported it to cops.
The source went on: “Tina has been plagued by problems near her house and, on this occasion, came out to try to deal with it.
“Some girls travelled to her road and were close to her house so she felt she was defending herself and her home.”
Tina, who has twice been crowned Best Actress at the Inside Soap Awards, has shared pictures online of her luxury home and sprawling garden.

The star wed personal trainer Adam at Manchester’s luxurious King Street Townhouse on New Year’s Eve 2018 and the couple have a son, Beau.
Tina also has a 15-year-old daughter — Scarlett — with former Corrie star Ryan Thomas, with whom she was in a relationship from 2003 to 2009.
Scarlett stars as Izzy Charles in BBC drama Waterloo Road. Tina featured in Corrie from 1999 to 2008 then took a break, during which she starred on Waterloo Road.
She has also appeared on Strictly, coming fourth with American dance partner Jared Murillo in 2010.
ATTACKS ON EX'S MOTOR
By MICHAEL HAMILTON
TINA O’Brien was accused of smashing up her ex Ryan Thomas’s Range Rover with a baseball bat after a late-night row two years ago.
The Sun revealed that the motor’s wing mirror was taken off and its paintwork scratched during the 1am bust-up.
The couple started dating in 2003 when they were both starring on Corrie and have a daughter Scarlett. But they then had a “fractious relationship” after splitting in 2009.
Tempers were said to have flared after Tina had been partying with friends, and Ryan went to meet her.
A source said at the time: “It was quite a disturbing incident and Ryan drove away as soon as he could. He’s furious.”
Ryan, 39, played Jason Grimshaw in Corrie until 2016. He has since retired from acting.
Tina returned to Corrie in 2015. She has previously hailed Adam — who she started dating in 2014 — as “my everything”.
She wrote in 2022: “You’re amazing and you inspire me to be better, bolder and braver. Thank you for being my mentor without even knowing you are.”
She has also posted pictures of herself with Scarlett, calling her “my absolute bestie”.
Greater Manchester Police said: “Officers are investigating reports of an assault in Stockport between 8pm and 9pm on 15 March.”
A spokesperson for the actress said: “Tina was the victim of an unprovoked incident outside her home which she has reported to the police.”
