Celebrity Big Brother Update: Louis Walsh and Lauren Simon Caught Breaking Rules by Discussing Nominations

Celebrity Big Brother has already had its first rule break after Louis Walsh and Lauren Simon were caught discussing the nominations during Thursday night’s episode. 

Ahead of the first eviction this series, the contestants learnt that Lauren had received the most nominations from her fellow housemates this week. 

Lauren received six nominations from Bradley Riches, Colson Smith, Gary Goldsmith, Marisha Wallace, Nikita Kuzmin and Zeze Millz.

Upset to find herself with the most votes, Lauren confided in Louis, as the pair tried to deduce who would have voted the Real Housewives star for eviction. 

Yet Big Brother is always watching, and host AJ Odudu confirmed during Late & Live that he had picked up on the rule break and the pair have been punished. 

In a preview clip, the housemates gathered round as Big Brother announced: ‘The Housemates, there has been a rule break. This morning a rule was broken by Louis and Lauren. 

‘Louis and Lauren, wrap up warm and make your way into the garden until further notice’. 

The clip went on to show Louis and Lauren in the ‘Celebrity Wheelie Bin of Shame’ as they faced their punishment. 

While Lauren doesn’t know for sure who has voted for her, she is certain she received a vote from Zeze as she told Louis: ‘Zeze hates me’. 

In more upcoming scenes, AJ revealed the pair come face to face as Lauren confronts the social media star over her attitude. 

As the pair speak, Lauren seemed to accuse Zeze of hating her, as the star interrupted: ‘I don’t like the word hate.’ 

Zeze continued: ‘We’ve never had a conversation where I could feel like I hate you. Hate is a strong word.’ 

As Lauren tried to explain: ‘Well I am going to tell you,’ Zeze insisted: ‘If you feel like we don’t get along and I don’t like you, that’s fine. But hate is a strong word’. 

Lauren joins Gary who is also up for the public vote after he was previously nominated by celebrity lodger Sharon Osbourne who had the power to nominate one housemate to face the first live eviction.

And Lauren isn’t the only person Zeze has been butting heads with after her and Ekin-Su Culculoglu clashed during the episode. 

The pair had a rather awkward interaction as they were getting ready for the day and they began discussing Ekin-Su’s stint on Love Island. 

As the two butted heads Zeze began: ‘I would never do Love Island, but if you are in a hot country it is kinda like a free holiday, do you know what I mean?’ 

Yet Ekin-Su disagreed as she responded: ‘It wasn’t really for me…’

With tension hanging in the air, Zeze probed: ‘Maybe we didn’t get to see that’, to which Ekin snapped back: ‘It’s a reality show filmed 24/7 honey, you only see 40 minutes of it.’

Seemingly confused, Zeze responded: ‘That’s what I just said, that’s why I said we didn’t get to see all of it.’

Yet as  Ekin-Su agreed: ‘Yeah, you didn’t’, Zeze shot back: ‘That’s what I just said!’

Later in the diary room as the contestants made their nominations, Ekin-Su nominated Zeze as she explained that there was a ‘tension’ between them. 

She said: ‘I felt like she just had to put her point across and could have just agreed and let it go’. 

Zeze predictably also nominated Ekin-Su, as she explained: ‘We kind of just rub each other up the wrong way, we clash.

‘I think we both always want to be right and out of everyone in here we are the two most likely to get in an argument’.
