Celebrity Big Brother: Katia, Heidi are first out!

Katia Ivanova and Heidi Fleiss have become the first two people to be evicted from Celebrity Big Brother 2010. Katia - who received 44 per cent of the public vote was the first to leave the house on Friday night after she was nominated along with Fleiss and pop star Lady Sovereign. The 21-year-old model grinned upon hearing the news, although looked nervous when she left the house to a resounding chorus of boos from the crowd. However she appeared to be resigned to her fate as the first evictee. "I'm fine," she told Davina McCall, "it was going to happen sometime." And she had plenty to say about her on-off fling with Jonas during her time in the house. "I did like him," she admitted, "But I'm not sure how he felt about me because he seemed like quite a flirtatious person. A lot of the time I thought he was joking." "Some days I did have real feelings for him and the others I thought 'oh come on'" Heidi, meanwhile, received 28.6 per cent of the public vote in the second eviction - which came as a surprise to the housemates. However the former Hollywood madam appeared so convinced that she would be getting the boot that when Davina announced her name she simply picked up her jacket and made for the door. After leaving the house to a largely negative reaction from the crowd, Fleiss admitted to Davina that she had been "lazy" during her time in the house - much of which seemed to be spent in bed "I'm more than lazy, I didn't do a thing," she said. "Vinnie was my nursemaid, he was just awesome, he is just a beautiful man." And although she claimed to have liked all her fellow housemates, she wasted no time in offering some outspoken opinion. "Stephen is a dork but you still like him," she said Jonas is way more annoying, and Alex is also annoying and Sisqo just grows on your nerves. But I enjoyed the whole Big Brother experience and I'm glad I did it." The next eviction will take place during a live show on Monday night.
