Big Brother: It's Noirin Vs Marcus!

Big Brother housemates Noirin and Marcus will go head-to-head this week after receiving the most nominations for eviction. The pair - who have gone from flirting to arguing to not speaking to each other in the house over the last seven weeks - each received five nominations, but Irish beauty Noirin is the bookmakers' favourite to get the boot with odds of 4/6. Noirin - who has now started kissing and canoodling with Siavash but said 'I fancy him, but I don't want more than that' - was nominated by Charlie, David, Lisa and Rodrigo. Marcus also nominated her, saying: "She's just not very nice and that's not to do with her and Siavash." Marcus was nominated by David, Dogface, Hira, Rodrigo and Noirin, who said: "He probably wasn't my friend." Lisa narrowly escaped nomination with four votes, from Bea, Halfwit, Noirin and Siavash. The odds of Marcus being evicted on Friday stand at 11/10. Ladbrokes spokesman, Nick Weinberg, said: "It's taken a number of weeks but finally we've got a genuine eviction contest. "Noirin's relationships with Sree, Marcus and Siavash have alienated punters and she's the early favourite to go."
