Odds on Pete to leave Big Brother next

CELEBRITIES in the Big Brother house were yesterday bracing themselves for the next round of nominations, following Jodie Marsh’s exit on Friday.

A second celebrity will be leaving the Big Brother house today - with Dead or Alive singer Pete Burns favourite to go.

The vote comes as birthday boy Preston and fake celebrity Chantelle, 22, deny to their housemates that there is anything between them.

Ordinary Boys singer Preston, who turned 24 on Sunday, told former FA secretary Faria Alam: “It’s just turned into something when it’s nothing.”

When Pete told the group he wanted to quit the show, Preston asked him: “When you leave can you go see my girlfriend and explain?”

He added: “I just think she’s lovely. Not in a way like that. I think she’s adorable, like a little doll... I think last night I was a bit pissed... I get really touchy- feely when I drink.”

He told Chantelle: “I think we were smooching a bit yesterday.”

But she replied: “What? No, we weren’t. Preston, we didn’t kiss at all.”

Bookmakers William Hill make Pete the favourite to go at 2-1, followed by Dennis Rodman (3-1).
