Ziggy in 'halfway house' as Chanelle quits
Big Brother's Ziggy Lichman will wake up in unfamiliar surroundings today following a day in which ex-flame Chanelle Hayes walked from the show and housemates voted him into the "halfway house".
The former boyband heartthrob volunteered himself for a move next door, swapping place with new entrants 22-year-old student Kara-Louise Horne and store manager David Parnaby, 25.
In a day of high-tension yesterday, Posh Spice wannabe Chanelle exited the show following a blazing row with Ziggy in which the BB pair exchanged expletive laden insults.
Numbers in the main house were quickly made up in the shape of the two new full housemates, who now stand a chance of winning the £100,000 prize.
Kara-Louise and David were selected from the five halfway hopefuls by the existing members of the BB house.
But in an unexpected twist, housemates were then forced to select one of their own to enter the halfway house in exchange for the two new members.
Before they had a chance to vote, Ziggy put himself forward. "I wouldn't mind a bit of time, I'll do it. Seriously, it can't get madder than this," he said.
The entire group them chose Ziggy, apart from the man himself, who put forward fellow housemate Liam McGough.
Chanelle's former beau was immediately summoned to the diary room from where he entered the halfway house.
Referring to the day of drama, the former pop singer and model said: "I feel s**t today. but I feel with someone leaving, someone who I will miss a lot, then if this puts me up for nominations then so be it. It levels things out a little."
He had earlier referred to the now ex-housemate Chanelle as "a nasty piece of work" and the "new Charley".
The pair's on-off romance has been a focus of this year's Big Brother. Viewers will now be hoping that the new full housemates will be able to fill the void left by the departure of Chanelle and Charley - two of the show's more explosive characters.
