Louis Walsh and Lauren Simon have found themselves in a physical sin bin after breaching a Celebrity Big Brother cardinal rule.
On Thursday’s episode of ITV’s reality show revival, the couple were seen discussing nominations – which, as everyone knows, is a massive no-no – and, unsurprisingly, they were caught off guard ahead of the first eviction.
During last night’s Late & Live, presenter AJ Odudu revealed Big Brother was watching (he’s always watching), and the couple was penalised for breaking the rules.
They are told: “This is Big Brother.” Housemates, there has been a rule violation. This morning, Louis and Lauren broke a rule. Louis and Lauren, bundle up warm.
“Please make your way into the garden until further notice.”
As the announcement is delivered, former X Factor singer Louis can be heard cursing, and viewers see the couple sitting in the Wheelie Bin of Shame.
We’ll find out more in tonight’s show, but viewers are ecstatic with the unexpected turn of events and can’t get enough of the outrageous moments.
‘Getting to watch things like Louis Walsh sat in a massive wheelie bin is why i love this show,’ wrote @sanghaswift, while fellow X user @megan____77 added: ‘LOUIS WALSH IS IN THE BIN THIS SERIES IS ICONIC I CANT #CBBUK #CBBLL’
A third fan, @DJDaley, tweeted: ‘Louis & Lauren should have known better, discussing nominations with fellow housemates is one of the golden rules of Big Brother that should never be broken.’
The official CBB account confirmed: ‘Punishment has been served! As seen on Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live, Louis and Lauren have been put in the Celebrity Wheelie Bin of Shame for rule breaking 👀’
With the first eviction approaching, the housemates discovered that Lauren had garnered the most nominations from her co-stars this week.
Bradley Riches, Gary Goldsmith, Marisha Wallace, Colson Smith, Zeze Millz, and Nikita Kuzmin were among those who nominated her six times.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire actress was devastated after learning she had received the most votes, and she went to Louis for consolation as they attempted to figure out who voted for her.
She doesn’t know for sure, but she is certain she received a vote from Zeze, adding, ‘Zeze hates me.’
Celebrity Big Brother airs weekdays at 9pm on ITV1.
