Big Brother bust-up as second eviction looms

Two Big Brother contestants are nervously awaiting the second eviction as the housemates try to put a dramatic bust-up behind them.

Tycoon Stuart Hosking and randy Paul Clarke face the axe after being nominated by rivals.

Bookies rank Stuart as the runaway favourite to be next through the doors and out of the running for the £70,000 prize.

Viewers have voted all week on whom they want to see the back of, to follow teacher Penny Ellis who was the first evictee last week.

Marketing executive Stuart was described as "too competitive" by his housemates. Paul was labelled as "annoying" by Narinder while Dean said he did not get on with him as well as the other housemates.

The eviction follows a series of drunken rows that marred Brian's birthday celebrations. Tempers boiled over in the early hours of yesterday morning as the contestants celebrated Irishman Brian Dowling's 23rd birthday.

Stuart and Amma clashed in the Jacuzzi after a remark about the lap dancer's background. The 23-year-old responded by describing Stuart as a "very smug and insecure person".

As the row escalated Amma broke down in tears and stormed off, hurling insults at Stuart. "I want him out of the house, I can't wait for him to go," she sobbed.

Meanwhile, a second row broke out between the house's two gay housemates, Josh and Brian. Brian accused Josh of stealing the limelight when he arrived at the Big Brother house last week.

Later the four attempted to restore peace with Stuart and Amma sharing a frosty hug and Brian apologising to Josh for his outburst.
