Gillian Taylforth has become the fourth person to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house following an eviction vote which saw all the remaining housemates nominated. The former EastEnders actress made a low-key exit from the house due to the adverse weather conditions which prevented crowds outside from attending the latest eviction. After leaving the house into a studio setting, Gillian told host Brian Dowling she was unsure why she had been the one given the boot. "I don't know, obviously I'm not that popular," she said. "It depends how you are portrayed out there." She admitted also that she had been somewhat reserved during her time in the house amid fear of being portrayed as "two-faced". And she added she found the nominations process especially difficult. "I just hate it because you got to know everybody, even after a few days. You got to know them, you felt like they were you're friends and then suddenly you had to go in with a negative view on why you wanted to nominate them." "I like to go round telling jokes and singing, but I didn't want to get on people's nerves and be in people's faces." Seven housemates - including Rylan Clark, Neil 'Razor' Ruddock,' Claire Richards, Frankie Dettori, Tricia Penrose, Ryan Moloney and Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt - now remain in the house. Wednesday night will see one more eviction take place ahead of next Friday's grand final.
