Celebrity Big Brother was thrown into chaos tonight as THREE popular housemates face the axe – and one of them will be booted tomorrow night.

The nominations sent shockwaves through the house as the celebs chose who they wanted to put up for eviction for the second time this series.

Last week, it was Gary Goldsmith and Lauren Simon who faced the chop, with Gary sent packing last Friday.

But tonight, another round of nominations saw some new names in the mix.

The housemates were stunned as the votes were counted and they were informed by Big Brother that Louis Walsh, Fern Britton and Lauren are facing the public vote.

While its Louis and Fern’s first time on the chopping block, it marks the second time for the Real Housewives of Cheshire star.

But there was a twist that led to Fern being nominated.

When the housemates made their nominations, it was actually Zeze Millz who was at risk alongside Louis and Lauren.

But in a shock move, Big Brother gave Celebrity Lodger Sharon the power to save one of the nominated housemates after she was allowed to secretly watch the nominations from her private bedroom.

Sharon was forced to reveal who she wanted to save while face to face with her housemates.

After viewing the diary room antics, Sharon chose to save Zeze and put former This Morning star Fern up for eviction instead.

“Lauren has been here before…she can take it, she is a big girl. I think the public will save Lou Lou,” Sharon said.

She added that was saving Zeze because she was “fiery” yet “vulnerable” and reminded her of “someone she loved”.

As for why she was nominating Fern, Sharon claimed: “I just think us ones that are a bit older stuck out like a sore thumb. I am not ageist at all and Fern is a lot younger than me but I think that the house has gone off into groups.”

Before Sharon’s move, only Louis and Nikita Kuzmin voted for Fern.

As the nominations rolled in, it was Lauren who received the most with eight people putting her up.

Bradley Riches, Colson Smith, David Potts, Fern, Levi Roots, Marisha Wallace, Nikita and Zeze all nominated her.

Louis got four nominations, receiving the kiss of death from Bradley, Colson, Marisha and Zeze.

Before escaping the chopping block, Zeze got four nominations from Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Lauren, Levi and Louis.

Bradley, Colson, Nikita and Marisha got no nominations.
