Former Big Brother star Glyn Wise has revealed a shocking secret about nominations as two housemates go head-to-head in the second upcoming eviction of the new series.
Henry and Zak will face the public vote ahead of Friday night, with one following Farida out of the house after she became the first contestant to get evicted.
After watching the latest instalment, Glyn took to social media to share his own brutal experience from nomination days.
The Welshman was just 18-years old when he appeared on the seventh series of Big Brother – then a hugely popular Channel 4 flagship – in 2006, finishing runner-up to winner Pete Bennett.
He penned on Twitter: ‘Inside knowledge – You are locked in the diary room for ages until the producers get their footage. 100 questions until you say something nasty that they are happy with. It took us all day in BB7’

Ex Big Brother housemate Raph Korine replied to Glyn, saying: ‘Whenever I went in, I was always in and out in like 5/10 mins — I guess I was just cutthroat whenever nominating to begin with’
The drama is heating up once again in Big Brother as the latest two nominees to face the eviction vote were revealed during Wednesday’s episode.
As the housemates were all summoned to the Diary Room to give their reasonings it was Henry and Zak who earned the most votes.
But viewers were quick to react to the nomination calculations as they questioned why only two housemates were up for nominations when others had also received a few nominations.
Zak received five nominations from Hallie, Kerry, Chanelle, Jenkin and Henry, while Henry received four nominations from Dylan, Olivia, Noky and Jenkin.
Taking to social media, one person said: ‘That’s nominations done! Zak & Henry up for eviction! Surprised it’s only 2!’ and another wrote: ‘Whyy did they only put two people up #BBUK’, and
A third asked: ‘#BBUK pleaaaaaase…why are you only putting 2 housemates up for eviction at one time, if you receive TWO or more nominations you should be up for eviction – so stupid!!!’ while another added: ‘BB only putting two people up for eviction again… #bbuk.’

New career: Glyn, a Christian since birth, has since turned his back on public life, opting instead to devote himself to God and a surprising new chapter as a trainee priest in north London
Paul’s name was also brought up a few times during the nominations as he was nominated by Trish who said he isn’t ’emotionally intelligent’.
‘Sometimes I literally wonder, “Is there anything there?” It would be nice to have something inciteful come from him, there’s no deepness to him. He’s just not interesting in my opinion,’ she explained.
Viewers were also quick to call out Kerry as she acted shocked to the results despite nominating Zak herself.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: ‘Big brother is this a GOD DAMN JOKE?!? 2 people?! WE WANT KERRY OUT NOT ZAK AND HENRY’.
Another person said: ‘Kerry doing the most knowing she nominated Zak is very annoying #bbuk’.
Another fan posted a meme of actress Julie Hesmondhalgh shouting ‘Jeremy Corbyn’ followed by a clip of Joe Lycett saying ‘I am actually very right wing’ as they wrote: ‘Big Brother fans when Kerry revealed her voting history vs when they have to decide who to evict between Henry and Zak’.

Outcry: Fans were quick to take to Twitter with their reactions from the nomination result
Either Zak and Henry will follow Farida out of the house after she became the first contestant to get evicted last Friday.
The make-up artist jumped up and down and flung her arms in the air as she shouted: ‘Yes!’ after her departure was revealed.
Farida was up for eviction against NHS manager Kerry who was in tears as she waited in suspense for the news to be announced.
An excited Farida said: ‘I had the most amazing time. Thank you everybody for making the effort and coming tonight.’
Big Brother airs Sunday to Thursday on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm followed by Big Brother Late & Live at 10pm.

TOM
AGE: 21

TRISH
AGE: 33
PROFESSION: Stay-at-home mum
FROM: Luton
WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH THE PRIZE MONEY IF YOU WON? ‘I think my first priority is to sort out my housing situation. The housing crisis is just ridiculous and my housing situation has been unstable. It brings me a lot of mum guilt because I’ve got a young child. It’s my biggest incentive and motivation to win.’
JORDAN
AGE: 25
PROFESSION: Lawyer
FROM: Scunthorpe
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO GET NOMINATED FOR? ‘Being cantankerous and acting as if I don’t want to be there even if I do in my heart. They might nominate me for being disengaged perhaps or not paying everyone an equal amount of attention. They may feel left out but I can’t help that.’
DYLAN
AGE: 39
PROFESSION: DJ
FROM: Coventry
TELL US AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOURSELF: ‘I appeared on a TV show called The Last Leg about amputees – two years before I lost my leg!’
NOKY
AGE: 26
PROFESSION: Banker
FROM: Derby
WHAT MADE YOU APPLY TO BECOME A BIG BROTHER HOUSEMATE? ‘I love challenges. I’ve had so many amazing times in my life, like going to Miss Universe as Miss Great Britain. I like to do something different and I think this is the next challenge I want to conquer. I want to show people what pageant girls are really like and disprove a lot of stereotypes around them. I also show what it’s like being a woman who’s worked in male- dominated fields. I want to show that women are capable of doing anything they want.’
PAUL
AGE: 23
PROFESSION: Security officer
FROM: Liverpool
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO GET NOMINATED FOR? ‘Being the biggest wind up, eating all the food and being the loudest housemate.’
OLIVIA
AGE: 23
PROFESSION: Dancer
FROM: Glasgow
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO GET NOMINATED FOR? ‘I think when people are in that hangry state, that’s when I’ll wind people up and grind their gears. I think they’ll nominate me for being full on, and for my brutal honesty and oversharing of opinions.’
HALLIE
AGE: 18
PROFESSION: Youth worker
FROM: London
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO GET NOMINATED FOR? ‘Being lazy and having an opinion. I’m quite opinionated, I like speaking my mind and not many people like that. I’m quite real.’
YINRUN
AGE: 25
PROFESSION: Customer support agent
FROM: Harrogate
WHAT PART OF THE EXPERIENCE ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? ‘I’m most excited about being surrounded by so many people from different walks of life. I don’t think I will ever live in a house again with so many different kinds of people. I’m from China and I think it will help me be more immersed in British culture.’
CHANELLE
AGE: 29
PROFESSION: Dental therapist
FROM: Llanelli
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO BE NOMINATED FOR? ‘Probably just for being annoying. In Wales, we have this saying, “I’ll do it now in a minute.” So like, if I went to make food and I left a dish on the side, I have all good intentions of washing it but I’d be like, “I’ll do it now in a minute,” and it might be three hours later before I do it. So probably for silly stuff like that.’
ZAK
AGE: 28
PROFESSION: Model
FROM: Manchester
WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH THE PRIZE MONEY IF YOU WON? ‘Pay off my debts and help my family out. I’ve also been saving up to build a park in my village back at home in Thailand because where I grew up, there’s no parks or playgrounds.’
MATTY
AGE: 24
PROFESSION: Doctor
FROM: Isle Of Man
HOW WOULD YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? ‘They would say I’m quite like a lucky person or someone who really wants to experience life to its fullest and do everything that it has to offer. Someone who is kind and fun and doesn’t take life too seriously.’
HENRY
AGE: 25
PROFESSION: Food writer
FROM: Cotswolds
HOW WOULD YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? ‘I think they would say I’m particularly sociable and very chatty. I mean, I’ll be honest, my parents would definitely say I’m a bit of a snob but I take it as a compliment. I think it means you’ve got high standards and good taste. They’d say I was quite a peculiar child.’
KERRY
AGE: 40
PROFESSION: NHS manager
FROM: Essex
WHAT MADE YOU APPLY TO BE A BIG BROTHER HOUSEMATE? ‘I love the programme. It is, for me, the ultimate reality TV show ever. I’ve got multiple sclerosis and so the reason why I never applied before is because I always saw those whacking great big stairs to get into the house. It just felt a little bit unachievable because for the first three years of my illness I was in a wheelchair. When I saw it was coming back and searching for real people from all walks of life, I thought, this is my year.’
