Geordie love bird Michelle Bass and 44-year old law graduate Ahmed Aghil seem set to be up for eviction this week.

While Big Brother has not revealed this to the housemates yet, the Daily Mirror has said that these are the two people selected for the public vote.

According to the Mirror, Ahmed - who has struggled adapting to the house - received seven votes, while Michelle got four.

But even though these are the leading candidates for eviction, Big Brother might make as many as five people face the public vote.

Emma is next in line for eviction - after three people decided they did not want her in the house - and Daniel and Jay were both nominated by two people, according to the tabloid.

The housemates were in grim mood as they faced their first eviction vote. They were given just half an hour to make their minds up before being asked to nominate the two people they most wanted to see gone.

The new "evil" Big Brother is reportedly asking for real reasons for selection this year - and where in the past contestants would say "they are missing their family" or "I'm just not clicking with them", now they will be pressed into revealing actual gripes.

A spokeswoman for the show said: "Any housemate refusing to make a nomination or failing to provide Big Brother with a satisfactory reason for their nomination will receive a formal warning."

Bookmakers Ladbrokes have Ahmed as the 4/7 favourite for the boot, Michelle is at 4/1.
