Katia Ivanova has appeared to make a last-ditch attempt to win Celebrity Big Brother viewers' votes by rekindling her romance with Jonas Altberg. The 21-year-old ex-girlfriend of Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood and the Swedish DJ, aka Basshunter, went to sleep in separate beds on Thursday, but in the middle of the night Katia climbed into bed with Jonas and they slept cuddled up together. The Russian cocktail waitress faces eviction on Friday after being nominated along with Heidi Fleiss and Lady Sovereign. Two housemates will leave in the live show at 9pm and Katia is the favourite to get the boot after her on-off fling with Altberg, along with Hollywood madam Fleiss who has spent the majority of her time in bed. Katia last week told Jonas she was ending their fling, calling him 'too clingy'. He later called her a 'heartbreaker' and made her cry by saying she was only on the show for dating someone famous. But on Thursday afternoon the pair began flirting again, cuddling up together on the sofa playing footsie and tickling each other's hands. They continued their flirting over the washing-up, flicking soap at each other and Jonas whipped Katia playfully on the legs with a tea towel.
