STAGE legend Lionel Blair has avoided facing the public vote in Celebrity Big Brother - meaning the Banstead resident is safe for another few days.
Today the housemates were told who will face the public vote tomorrow night. The nominations will air on Channel 5 tonight.
On Wednesday, the housemates were led to believe Blue star Lee Ryan and model Casey Batchelor had been evicted but the duo have in fact been hidden away in a bolthole to watch their housemates in secret.
Now the first proper eviction is set to take place with Apprentice star Luisa Zissman, actress and model Jasmine Waltz, boxer Evander Holyfield, comedian Jim Davidson and journalist Liz Jones all facing the public vote.
Lionel remains third favourite to win the competition - with odds of 11/2 according to William Hill - behind reality TV stars Ollie Lock and Sam Faiers.
Blue's Lee Ryan has seen his chances tumble after viewers were turned off by his love triangle with Casey and Jasmine.
