Prince gig: When Bruvs cry
ROCK legend Prince is set to stun the contestants with an impromptu private gig.
The pint-sized star is a huge fan and asked his management to arrange an appearance — either in the BB garden or screened in the house from a London studio.
Prince, whose hits include When Doves Cry and Purple Rain, announced seven shows at the O2 Arena last month as part of a 21-date UK tour.
The remaining dates will be surprise gigs around the UK — with one live on BB.
A source said: “Prince is a huge fan of Big Brother. He has tuned in to every series of the show so far and loves the concept.
“His management are in discussions with producers Endemol to arrange a gig.
“Prince is hoping it will be an unforgettable moment that goes down in BB history.”
But Big Brother insiders fear that several of the housemates may not know who the musician is.
Lesley has admitted she hates music and never listens to it. The twins, at 18, are probably too young to remember most of Prince’s hits from the 1980s and 90s.
And Emily has already shown herself up to be less than an expert in all things musical when she announced: “There’s something sweeping the country and it’s called indie rock.”
A Channel 4 insider said: “Housemates like Tracey the raver and Shabnam the R&B fan will probably be appreciative of their own audience with Prince.
“But some of the others probably won’t have a clue who he is and won’t realise what an amazing opportunity they are being given.
“It will be hilarious to see the different reactions.”
Prince’s seven dates at the O2 Arena sold out within minutes of going on sale.
The eccentric star is also expected to announce more mad ideas for impromptu shows during his month-long stay in Britain during August.
Two new housemates to enter
Big Brother will throw two more guys into the mix tonight, it has been revealed.
Following Emily's shock removal from the house yesterday, the decision was made to cancel the planned eviction. The live shows will instead be used to increase the testosterone levels within the compound.
The new housemates' identities are currently unknown, but Channel 4 has released a couple of teasers as to what to expect:
* One of the two housemates is teetotal
* One visited Hilary Clinton at the Whitehouse and wrote her a poem.
The two boys will enter the house tonight at 10:30pm on C4.
Nicky and Ziggy brawl over booze
Nicky ended up having a war of words with Ziggy this evening after she confronted him about the amount of booze he had drunk.
Charley told Nicky earlier in the night how Ziggy had been holding back alcohol for himself.
"It's a ****ing outrage!" exclaimed Charley. Nicky, meanwhile, pointed out: "He should have shared whatever was left, out."
When Nicky brought up the issue with Ziggy in the living room, he became agitated and raised his voice to her. The former boy band member didn't believe that he should be the person to get the brunt of her attack.
Ziggy stormed out of the living room and lay under his duvet in the bedroom, while Nicky gathered for support from her fellow females.
"I'm not pissed off that he had more alcohol, I'm pissed off that he didn't share," claimed the 27-year-old accounts executive.
Charley backed her up straight away, saying: "Listen Nicky, you ain't on your own here." Nicky commented to the girls that she thought Ziggy was a "****er" and informed them that she knew what "his game" was.
Chanelle tried to reason with Ziggy as he sulked from beneath his covers, but on the subject of Nicky he said: "She is so ****ing depressing. She is so depressing, she really is."
Later in the evening, the pair attempted to resolve their differences and Ziggy apologised for shouting.
He explained to Nicky that he had only kept back a small bit of wine and that was because he half-filled his glass in the first place. Ziggy went on to explain how he had given his second glass to one of the twins.
However, after they made up, Nicky whispered to Laura about how she thought there was more to Ziggy than meets the eye. "He's keeping everybody sweet, isn't he?" Nicky asked. Laura agreed, telling her that she was normally a very good judge of character.
Charley adds fuel to the fire
Charley was accused of acting selfishly by housemates tonight, after she openly flaunted the fact she had stolen other people's drinks.
"We are here to enjoy ourselves, we're not here to have arguments," argued Charley. "At the end of the day, some people have drunk more than others."
Meanwhile, in the garden, an agitated Nicky complained to Tracey about the unemployed Londoner's attitude: "She is going around saying I sipped everybody's drinks!"
Carole brought the underlying issue to Charley's attention, telling her that she thought it was "quite selfish" to have more than others. Charley argued: "Some people have more than others - who cares?"
It was left to Carole to point out: "Well I think people obviously do care because it has caused this row."
Carole, Tracey and Billi up for eviction
Billi, Tracey and Carole have all been nominated for eviction this week.
Big Brother told the housemates that Nicky and Charley had received the same number of votes as Billi, Tracey and Carole, but they would not face the public vote as Charley and Billi's votes would not count.
Big Brother decided to punish Billi and Charley for talking about nominations and the revelation immediately sparked a row as housemates worked out who the punished pair voted for.
"So that means one of you nominated me," Nicky said.
Charley defended herself, saying it could have been Billi who nominated her. The row escalated from there, completely overshadowing Billi, Tracey and Carole's plight.
How the heck did Charley avoid nomination again. Surely if her and Billi were discussing nominations either put them up or declare the votes void and put up all housemates for eviction, why do Carole and Tracey have to suffer.
