Rhian and Jasmine face first Celeb Big Bro vote

Models Rhian Sugden and Jasmine Lennard are set to go head to head in the first Celebrity Big Brother eviction vote of the series, following nominations on Friday. Both received three votes each in the nominations, which took place live and face to face, just two days after the latest group of celebrities entered the house. Coleen Nolan and Danica Thrall each received two nominations, while Martin Kemp, Prince Lorenzo Borghese and Jersey Shore's The Situation picked up one each. Jasmine was nominated by Danica, Prince Lorenzo and Martin Kemp, while Coleen, Samantha Brick and Cheryl Fergison opted for Rhian. Meanwhile Jasmine has been telling her fellow housemates about her alleged relationship with Simon Cowell - but did not actually mention the mogul by name. "That person was such a huge part of my life. I don't want my life to be defined by it," she told Coleen. "The way the relationship has gone down in history is the complete opposite to how it went down." Even if she does survive the eviction, Jasmine's chances of winning the series are slim, according to the bookies, who are currently offering odds of 66-1 on her being crowned champion. Julian Clary is currently 5-2 favourite to win, followed by Martin Kemp and Cheryl Fergison.
