Nine face Big Brother public vote

Nine Big Brother housemates are to face the public vote on Friday.

Dale Howard and Luke Marsden were nominated for eviction by their fellow contestants on Tuesday.

But Big Brother announced seven more housemates would face the public vote as a punishment for breaking rules on discussing the nomination process.

They are Darnell Swallow, Kathreya Kasisopa, Maysoon Shaladi, Mohamed Mohamed, Rachel Rice, Rex Newmark and Stuart Pilkington.

The seven talked about the nominations in code on several occasions, trying to predict who would face the public vote and who they may have put forward themselves.

Stuart's title as head of house was also removed as a further punishment.

Australian-born Sara Folino is the only housemate to have received no nominations since she joined the Big Brother house.
