Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Nicola McLean gives her frank opinion on this series exclusively for Reveal!

Rylan was brilliant and entertaining, comes across as genuine and was one of the few to fight his corner. But it was a very predictable win last night. We knew from even before he entered the house that he was going to win. As a viewer, you want the whole drama of guessing who is going to make the final, but this year it was obvious. There were no shocks.

It meant a lot to him, and it was a dream come true for him. When Ryan asked the public not to vote for him, but to phone in for Rylan, I thought that was genuine.



It's sad that we don't ever believe people when they do the right thing. I believe Ryan was one of the most genuine housemates who walked through the doors to CBB. Boring, didn't give us much, but a lovely guy.

I don't think Razor should have gone so early. But on the final night, does it really matter? It's really about the winner, and nobody remembers who came out when.



I am surprised that Speidi came second because the public usually vote out the most entertaining housemates. But I think they deserved their place 100 per cent.

It was brilliant that we kept them in. They've entertained us and have been the most talked about contestants. But their interview was very strange. They swung between admitting their behaviour was for the game and saying they were being themselves - it was mixed messages.

Were they playing the game or is that how they conduct themselves in real life? I don't think they know who to be anymore. They have become so obsessed with reality TV, they've become their characters. And they think to earn their money, they have to be hated.



They've become so guarded, they only worry about each other. That's cute but it's also sad. There are glimpses that they are both really nice people. It shows you that your five minutes of fame isn't always worth it.

I'm often edited in the bitchy role, but I'm not like that at all. I'm usually happy and jolly, but that's not what people want from me. So I feel for Speidi.

Speidi have been the highlight of the series, especially when they were in the basement. They were TV gold. The lowlight was the nonentity celebs, like Sam, Gillian, Tricia and Frankie... Even Claire, although she redeemed herself by being a lovely girl. They should put people in there who want to earn their money.



Here's my final thoughts on the CBB housemates.

Paula: She shouldn't have gone. She would have been brilliant. She's an eccentric, and not as 'on the edge' as some people claimed.

Sam: Very good looking, but boring. He was basically unknown, was given a chance, but didn't take it.

Lacey: Extremely cute. She didn't do anything that made me love her or hate her. She didn't embarrass herself, and did Page 3 girls proud.

Gillian: I wanted the feisty alpha female that I thought she was. Because she's a national treasure, she could have stood up to Speidi and still be loved. I still like her, but I wanted more.

Frankie: I'm a massive CBB fan and I could probably name most past housemates, but I won't remember him. Yes he's a nice man, but he just wanted to keep his head down and get the money. As a viewer, that's rubbish.

Tricia: I wanted to hate her, but she didn't do anything wrong. I thought she could be manipulative, like when she gave Speidi her pillow but then said she didn't like them. She was playing a game, same as them. I'd like to go for a glass of wine with her, but I'm sure she won't take me up on the offer!

Razor: He was brilliant. Along with Speidi and Rylan, he saved this year's CBB. He's a lovely guy, and so funny. But we didn't see more of that because the show was so heavily edited around Speidi and Rylan. Nobody else got a look in. I still think his outburst with Spencer was uncalled for, though...

Claire: A lovely girl, but I thought she'd be more outspoken like she is on the outside. She went on a journey. I know how hard it would have been for her being away from her children.

Ryan: I went from liking him, to not liking him, and back again. He was 100 per cent right about the letters. He was an outsider because he didn't understand the banter, but he threw himself in regardless.

Speidi: We've loved to hate them - we've gasped, raged and clapped at them. We've gone through every possible emotion with them. That to me is an amazing Big Brother contestant. We've not stopped talking about them for three weeks. They made the show worth watching. I've now started watching The Hills too!

Rylan: He was exactly like we saw on The X Factor - fun, quick-witted, handsome and insecure... He's a good person to watch. His personality would have come across better without Speidi on the show. Even he seemed normal compared to them! He was a worthy winner and needed it badly.

That's it for this year's CBB - I hope you enjoyed my column!

Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Nicola McLean gives her frank opinion on this series exclusively for Reveal!

I enjoyed last night's The Viewers Venom task and I love Jamie East! I think he's been the best find on telly for a long time. He's funny and so dry. It was good to see the housemates' reactions when they found out what the public had said about them. I'm going to say it again, but Heidi and Spencer just don't care! Everyone else was like "the public are so mean," but Speidi JUST. DON'T. CARE. It would actually be a lovely way to be, as you'd have no worries! I know she's gone now, but again we got to see how shocked Tricia was when someone said that she was basically a non-entity in the house. She clearly sees herself as a big character. I loved the housemates' reaction when they found out that most people would rather 'dance like Heidi than sing like Claire from Steps'. While Claire is a good singer. I think I'd rather dance like Heidi too - she's wild!



I found it hysterical when Tricia, Razor, Frankie and Ryan won the task, as Ryan rushed over to Razor and tried to pick him up to celebrate. Oops! He soon realised he wasn't going to get him off the ground so quickly changed his mind... Obviously we then had a recap of Tricia and Frankie's evictions. I laughed when Rylan and Claire were crying over Trish going, and then, literally 30 seconds later, Rylan was saying: "Wouldn't it be brilliant if it was me, you and Razor in the final?" You got over that quickly, guys!



It was really sweet to see Ryan and Rylan finally get their letters from home. You can really see that Ryan is a great dad, which is really lovely. Heidi was getting so emotional! She was properly crying. Earlier in the series, Heidi had been saying that some of the contestants shouldn't have left their kids if they were going to be emotional. And there she was getting emotional over letters that had been written for people she claims to not even like! Rylan's letter was nice, but I had NO clue what a lot of the bits in it meant. Congrats on the baby, but whose baby was it? And 'Tootsie Time'...what on earth is that?! It was good that Big Brother gave Ryan and Rylan their letters, but it makes you realise that after all that drama, they were going to get them anyway.



After the episode finished, I turned over to the live streaming on 5* and the housemates were celebrating their last night with a formal sit-down dinner. Each of the housemates had cards under their place setting with a question from Big Brother, and Spencer was asked he if had any regrets during his time on CBB. Incredibly, Spencer told everyone that he regretted not being the "ultimate baddie" and how he'd struggled not to feel sympathy for his housemates. He said he is a better villain in the the US and can shine there, as England is his weakness, his Kryptonite even. OMG! I LOVED this! The fact that he's not been as bad as he could've been is hysterical - and probably quite worrying! Just brilliant.



I don't think Speidi are bad people and definitely think they are playing a role. Him saying this just confirms it. I can understand on a lesser level, as no matter what I do in reality shows, I always get edited to be 'the controversial one'. In the end, you think that you might as well be that person. I don't say anything overly nasty about people, yet I'm always made out to be a bitch. I am outspoken, but not a bitch. I wish I had the balls to be like Speidi, but I kind of understand that they are playing the role that's been given. They was given the role on The Hills and it worked. It might not have worked for people liking them, but they're so secure in themselves that they don't really care. It's working for them to be that character. In a way that's fantastic, but it's also a shame. I was gutted after my time in CBB as I felt I'd been misinterpreted. I hoped people would see the real me, and it would be nice for us to see the real Speidi. That being said, it is a TV show and we want to be entertained - and they've really done that.



Well, we've reached the final guys, and I can't work out who I want to win! If it's down to who has entertained the most, then it has to be Speidi. Do you know what though, I'd be happy for any of them to win. Rylan has been slightly more entertaining than everyone, but Speidi have given us the most. Claire's been lovely, I know Razor and think he's great and Ryan has proved himself to be very honest. I don't know what the public vote on but, for me, I go on who has been the most entertaining. So, dare I say it, Speidi to win?!

Check back tomorrow to see my round up of all the contestants - and my thoughts on who won!

Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Nicola McLean gives her frank opinion on this series exclusively for Reveal!

It was absolutely brilliant to see Paula Hamilton back in the house last night for the Fashion Police task. Although, I'm sure the fact that Rylan was picked to be her deputy just shows how much Big Brother wants him to win... Paula told Tricia that she needed to make friends with her age, and I thought it was hysterical and so right! But while I thought Ryan looked better after his makeover, Tricia looked worse. Gold leather trousers?! Come on now. And her hair looked so greasy! Paula was right to pick her up on her hairband though. What's a 40-something woman doing wearing a hairband anyway? You stop wearing them when you're 11, right? Tricia has got a great body for her age and she's really pretty, but she needs another makeover as she looked dreadful after this one!



That task said so much about the housemates this year - none of them have been exactly fashionable, have they? Not washing their hair and not bothering to get dressed...ew! I didn't realise Heidi and Spencer liked Paula quite as much as they do. Heidi had obviously given Paula her bracelet, but I've never heard her talk about love for anyone other than herself or Spencer. She was properly going for it! I know Rylan was saying Speidi are weird for spending so much time together, but I actually think it's quite cute. They were sweet when they were lying on the bed together cuddling. I do think Heidi waiting outside the Diary Room for him was a little extreme, though...!



Speaking of Heidi, does she go for it or what after she's had a few glasses of wine?! She properly thinks she's a stripper! I thought it was brilliant when she tried to give Spencer a lap dance and he panicked, saying: "Oh no, we're on a TV show!" It was hilarious when he then told Big Brother that Heidi would make the most amount of money in a strip club. Speidi are literally the best housemates to have ever been put in the BB house. You love to hate them, but can't work out if you actually love them. You also can't work out if they're genuine or if it's all an act. I know they're hated by a lot of people, but they definitely deserve their place in the final for being so entertaining.



Frankie and Tricia were sent home in the double eviction. Frankie came across well in his exit interview, but my friend text me to say she'd forgotten he was even in there. That says a lot! His departure won't make much of a difference. I've said it all along, the majority of people have gone in there to keep their head down and take the money. It's such a shame.



Tricia seemed utterly stunned that people are keeping Speidi in the house. I was a bit confused though, as she made it clear that she really dislikes them, yet was on yesterday's show saying what a "lovely couple" they are. "Here, have my pillow. Don't sleep on the floor," she told. Hmmm. I'm glad Brian pulled her up on the fact that she hadn't been feisty. Tricia was right when she said she'd done nothing wrong and nothing right. She didn't do anything!



I must just say, I'm glad Ryan gathered the housemates round and told them how he felt about Claire, Tricia and Razor getting their letters the other night. It was a bit preachy and a bit righteous but, like I said yesterday, I did agree with the principle of his argument. It was good to see someone stand up for themselves and Ryan proved himself to be a decent person. He didn't bitch behind their backs, he was upfront.

Tomorrow night is the final, but who is going to win? Big Brother needs to give the housemates the biggest party ever tonight, because drunk Heidi and drunk Rylan are amazing. Heidi for her lap dances and Rylan for simply being drunk!

Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Nicola McLean gives her frank opinion on this series exclusively for Reveal!

I couldn't believe that Heidi and Spencer, yet again, refused to do a task. Fair enough Big Brother took away their bed, but that in my view isn't good enough. Tasks are compulsory. Housemates have to participate in tasks. It's just not fair! It was fun and easy, so I don't know why they refused. If I'd have been in there, I wouldn't have given them a beer afterwards either. Other than that, I enjoyed the Boys Vs Girls challenge. I thought the way Tricia multi-tasked with that baby was great. My husband was like: "You'd have been brilliant at that...apart from the parking!" I can down a pint, speak on the phone and change a baby, but I would be screwed on the parking!



Razor is so hysterical and up for a laugh. He didn't even need to be questioned on whether he would be in the girls' team. If anything, he'd pretty much nominated himself to join them before Big Brother even asked! He was buzzing and it made me laugh seeing him sat there in women's clothes. Now, my oh my doesn't Claire go after a little wine?! The girl's not said anything for two weeks, yet after a little glass, she's off talking about blow jobs. She also appeared to be having a lot of fun sucking on that willy straw! I thought the stripper was hysterical. I actually wondered if it was Katie Price's new husband, as he's got his kit off on telly before...



Poor Rylan looked like a dog on heat trying to get in there! He is fantastic when he's drunk. "There's more than one couple in this house," he declared, while walking around with blow-up Ry-Ray! Absolutely brilliant. Even Heidi and Spencer couldn't help but laugh as he tucked Ry-Ray into bed.



I do think the girls and Razor were wrong to take the other housemates' letters. They had made a pact together and if they were going to take their letters, it should have been spoken about properly beforehand. I did at first wonder why Ryan waited until after they'd read them before saying he wasn't happy, but I think it's because he has a lot of grace. He's clearly a nicer person than I am and didn't want to piss on anyone's strawberries. He let them have their letters and enjoy them, then displayed that he wasn't happy about it. I think Ryan was one billion per cent right. He said in the Diary Room that he's made an effort with the housemates and doesn't get the banter, and he was so right. He hasn't alienated himself from them deliberately or pissed them off, so they should've stuck by him. Ryan is so far away from home and isn't going to see his family tonight or on Friday, depending on when he leaves. He needed that letter. If you make a joint decision as a team not to take any letters because Claire isn't getting her's, the same rule should apply if Frankie and Ryan aren't given theirs .



Frankie did ask Ryan if he was ok afterwards, but it was almost done in that very British way of asking, but not really wanting to hear anything other than "yes, I'm fine". He gave Ryan a pep talk and told him that the women needed their letters more than him, and I thought it was lovely when Rylan said he disagreed. Just because Frankie didn't want his letter, it doesn't mean that Ryan didn't. It's nothing to do with being a man. I thought Heidi's tears when Rylan was reading Claire's letter were genuine. I think Heidi's alright. It's just Spencer who is emotionless.



Tricia has really upped her game and I'm beginning to wonder if it's genuine or not. Did she really want to give Speidi her pillow, or was it tactics? Or what about the beer? Speidi blatently came out of the bedroom and joined in just because they wanted a drink. I wouldn't have stood for it unless they had properly apologised. The housemates were being rewarded for their participation in the task, and they weren't worthy as they had refused to take part. Sorry, but I wouldn't have let them have one. Her letter was also very well thought out too. Whoever wrote it has done her all sorts of favours to win. It said everything that the general public at home want to hear. Her mum plays bingo - so all the people who go to bingo halls will vote - she calls her mum every day - ahh lovely - and her son swears at school. Now all the mums whose kids swear migh think: "Even celebrity kids swear now, so it's fine!" Hmmm, I wasn't keen on that.

So tonight we've got another eviction. I think Speidi could go after the way they behaved the other day, but everything has opened up now. Trish could win it after her performance last night. Ryan also came across amazingly well, although I'm not sure everyone will see it that way.

Read more: Nicola McLean's CBB blog: "Speidi were disgusting, vile and spiteful"

Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Nicola McLean gives her frank opinion on this series exclusively for Reveal!

I thought Heidi and Spencer were really, really out of order for not doing their task. What angered me more was when they said that women with young children shouldn't go on CBB. That was such poor judgement. At the end of the day, no woman wants to be apart from her kids for that long, but circumstances sometimes mean they have to be. Besides, it's no-one's business why someone would choose to sign up to the show. I know Claire and she's a great mum. What they said was so mean and it really, really bothered me.



I don't even think Speidi's task was that bad, but I thought their behaviour was disgusting. How ridiculous that they refused to be separated from each other. The problem is though, they've alienated themselves from the group so much that even the thought of being split up is too daunting for them. I feel like Claire, bless her heart, should thank them as it's probably won her the show. She came across so well. The public love people showing their emotion, and she did just that.



Spencer doesn't get awkward, it's almost like he doesn't have emotion. But you could see Heidi felt really awkward at times. She is 100 per cent controlled by that man. They both antagonised the housemates though, from the moment they walked out of the diary room after refusing to do their task. Oh my God, I thought it was just vile and spiteful.



I thought that Rylan was 100 per cent right with the way he reacted. He was like a dog with a bone. I would have reacted in the exact same way, if not worse. Rylan recieved a backlash yesterday for being allowed to leave the CBB house for X Factor rehearsals, but he proved himself to be a genuine, funny and caring guy. He was hysterical shaving his beard off (even though I thought it looked better afterwards). He could've said more to be honest.



But yet again, the mutes of the house just sat there hardly saying anything. Even Claire should've said something. It was lovely to see them all sticking up for each other, not taking their letters. I really thought it was sweet, but people are just too worried in there. They're scared of how they're going to come across to the outside world. It's meant to be reality TV, so if they can't say something to people who are acting in such a disgusting way, then it's not great. I would've gone nuts from the second they hinted that they hadn't done their task. I know Razor is probably worried after he was given a warning, but it's a shame to think that he might not be able to control himself enough not to get aggressive. I mean, you can argue just not be physical. I think Razor should've said more. I really do. Yes, you can't go running towards something with your arms open, but you can scream and shout. I did - you're allowed.



I was quite surprised when Tricia ranked her letter as being second highest priority, as she slagged me off for choosing my letter over everyone else's. It just goes to show that you never know how you're going to react until you yourself are in that situation. I'm liking Tricia and she behaved in the right way towards Speidi last night, but I will say one thing: It's not meant as a negative, but she did put herself second above five other housemates. Fair enough she put Claire first, but Claire is far more emotionally fragile compared to a lot of the other contestants. She put herself second, which is a selfish act as they were lots of people below her in the pecking order. But that really is a minor, as I thought she was lovely throughout everything that was going on. She wasn't feisty like she claimed she would be in her VT, but she acted well by throwing Spencer and Heidi's letter at them, and then refusing to read it out.



It's just a shame that it's Heidi and Spencer versus The House. You can get on with all sorts of people for three weeks, but Speidi have alinated themselves so much and the others have pushed them away. I'm sure they'll go tomorrow, without a shadow of a doubt. No-one is going to vote for them to win after their behaviour last night. And quite rightly so.

Read more: CBB agreed to let Rylan Clark leave the house for X Factor before series started

Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Nicola McLean gives her frank opinion on this series exclusively for Reveal!

I liked last night's Big Blogger task, but seems a bit tired. All Big Brother has done throughout the whole series is try to make everyone argue with Speidi. 'Catch Speidi out' seems to be the general theme!

The trouble is, you can't really row with people like Speidi, as they're more than happy to tell you that they don't like you. I'm sorry, but I just think they're great! Spencer is so straight-faced when he tells people he doesn't like them. "I've told you I don't like you, my views have never changed since day one," he said. What can you say to that? Rylan can try and tell them they're playing a game, but they are playing a game. CBB is a game! Rylan hit the nail on the head in the Diary Room when he said he'd be excited about the drama if he was watching at home. That's what it is - it's drama, a TV show.



Although I did agree with Speidi when they told Big Blogger that they're the underdog, they've certainly not struggled. That comes across as very "poor me, poor me". Come on guys, Razor was right. Sleeping for three weeks in the Big Brother house is not the same as homeless people struggling to sleep in the snow. Come on now, live in the real world. I thought Ryan came across really well when he told the housemates to remember that everything Speidi do, it could all be an act. I like that about him. I've not been his biggest fan, but I thought that was really sensible.



Speidi need to stop with all this sex business. I mean, Rylan blatantly said she was giving Spencer a hand job. I'm like, really?! Three weeks is not a long time to go without sex. Any married couple will tell you that, let's be honest! They've basically gone from doing nothing to everything. It's really weird. I'm beginning to think Heidi's not that prim and proper after all.



I would actually be cross if that was going on in the same bedroom as me. Instead of laughing and gossiping like Rylan and Claire, I would have said: "Guys, without meaning to be rude, can you go and do that somewhere else. I don't want to be in the same room as someone ejaculating." They were worried about Lacey being naked in front of Spencer, well I really wouldn't want Heidi w***ing her husband off in front of me. She's worried about all this "not in front of my husband," but Claire's husband might not want her in the same room as people doing that.



The housemates haven't really upped there game since they were told to stop slobbing around in dressing gowns. Tricia didn't look that bad when she was staring in the mirror, but she was in her onesie with no make-up on and her hair scraped back. She actually said: "Oh my god, I look dreadful. I don't want anyone to see me like this." Babe, you're on national telly. You don't look bad, but you do look unkempt. Go and brush your hair, put some make-up on and wear a nice outfit! Heidi and Spencer told Big Blogger that the housemates smell. Who knows if that's true, but they're not getting dressed so aren't painting the best picture of of cleanliness!



Finally, I have to comment on the most awkward party of all parties. You've got to love Spencer and Heidi - they had their hats on and she was dancing while everyone just sat there. They literally don't care. I'll say it again - even though you're probably all getting bored of it - but they are on Big Brother. I don't care if someone has slagged you off in the Diary Room, you've been given a party so why are you laying on the sofa?! Get up, put some party clothes on and have a bloody party!



I understand if Speidi have peed them off, but just get on with it. Even if the other housemates do decide not to speak to Speidi, they need to tell them - then get up and have a party. It's absolutely fine to tell people in any walk of life that you don't like something or disagree with something. Every single one of them could've said: "Do you know what guys, I'm really shocked and upset that you said that about me." But they have to move on. It's impossible to hold a grudge in that house and not speak to anyone. Speidi are in the minority, so why are they running the show?!

Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Nicola McLean gives her frank opinion on this series exclusively for Reveal!

The women were amazing in the task last night. Girls are so much tougher than boys, even though men hate to admit this - and never do! We prove it time and time again!

Us girls are tough. You wouldn't choose to do that task but, when it comes down to it, you just have to get on with it. After having kids, we can do anything. But the hairdressing task was a hard one. Gillian was brilliant, even when it looked like they'd cut her hair off. I spend a fortune on my hair extensions, so no way!

The task was good, but it's not supposed to be I'm A Celebrity... Why have BB started doing eating tasks and dumping disgusting things on the housemates' heads?



I totally agree with BB turning off the hot water because some of the housemates were still in their dressing gowns. No one was that lazy in our year. Why are they lazing around? I don't do that in my own house, let alone on national TV. It's not like they have anything else to do all day... It's annoying me, as there's no glamour! Rylan is by far the most glamorous one in there.

I'll stick by what I've been saying all along, that the house needs more alcohol! Heidi was so funny last night when she was a bit tipsy and dancing in the lounge!

Speidi have gone from not even kissing on the lips, to whatever happened in the bed, to a lap dance. We definitely don't know the real Speidi yet. They're quite sexual! And she definitely goes for it after a couple of glasses of wine. It's been an epic fail of BB not to give them more alcohol this series.



I understand why Tricia went into the diary room and said she felt like "billy no mates". It's hard in there when you connect with someone and then they leave. They become your crutch.

It's funny how quickly you bond with someone in that environment. When they leave, you feel like you've lost an arm. They become part of your routine and you feel gutted.

But she shouldn't resent Speidi for still being in the house. She's been one of the most boring housemates ever, so she has no right to resent Speidi!

Tricia and Claire whispering in the bathroom was ridiculous. BB sees and hears everything! It didn't look good on them.



Spencer and Heidi know they're not popular, but that's their fault because they haven't done anything to be liked. They haven't gone in there to make friends, because they are already a two.

They know exactly what their housemates think of them - and they don't give a sh*t!

READ MORE: CBB's Lacey Banghard wants to "knock out b*tch Heidi Montag"

Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Nicola McLean gives her frank opinion on this series exclusively for Reveal!

I wasn't surprised Gillian went last night. We won't miss her. She came across really well in her exit interview and we all know she's a nice woman. But it could have been her, Tricia or Claire and it wouldn't have made a difference. They are all merging into one. I think Tricia might go on Wednesday because Claire has a lot of Steps fans.

But it's a vote to win, so it could even be Speidi. I think they deserve their place in the final, though, because they've saved the show.

Last night, Spencer and Heidi went into the diary room and told Big Brother that they regretted what they'd previously said about their housemates. I don't know if it was real or more of a game plan - but it could be their downfall.



People don't like them - I've certainly loved and hated them during the series - and no one wants them to get on with their housemates! If they now start being nice and playing ball, they're out.

I think things have got a little dull in the house. All the people are too similar in there and too concerned with what everyone thinks of each other. Claire, Gillian and Tricia have stayed quite safe, and got too comfortable. None of them have stepped outside of the box. Everyone has conformed. I keep on saying it, but I think all the celebs are just in there for the pay day. But they should be entertaining us!

Even the angel and devil task last night wasn't as good as it could have been. Why did BB use Razor and Rylan again? We know they are funny and have good banter! It would have been nice to see another celeb doing it, to give them a chance to shine. It shouldn't always be the same celebs.

Ryan did the task well, but he played it safe. In my year, Jedward got the Playboy twins to throw Frankie's clothes in the swimming pool and he was furious! That's what you want to see - real mischief!

The tasks just haven't been that good this year. We had to wade through treacle, which was the most physically hard thing I've ever had to do, then we had to rip open the pillows so we all looked like chickens!



If Rylan dying his beard last night was the most interesting thing to air in a one hour show, that says it all! I believe that people who are obsessed with their appearance are genuinely insecure. I've had my boobs and teeth done, because I'm insecure. But Rylan is a very good looking boy and of course he wants to look good on telly.

Big Brother definitely haven't given them enough alcohol either. Last night would have been so funny if they'd been a bit tipsy. Spencer and Heidi came out of their shell during the Cockney party with Gillian in the igloo - he was trying to learn Chas and Dave which was brilliant! Maybe BB has learnt its lesson about alcohol from previous years.

Lots of people on Twitter have been criticising Heidi for her speech about how much she loves Spencer, but I thought it was sweet. Why aren't we allowed to say how much we love people?

I'm slightly obsessed with my husband, even after nine years. When he p*sses me off, he still manages to get me round his little finger in about 30 seconds. Don't get me wrong, though, I wouldn't have made a speech like that - it was extreme and very American - but I still thought it was nice. We should be madly in love with the people we marry!



You can tell Speidi adore each other so much and have a real understanding of each other. I'm told their relationship was turbulent on The Hills, but who hasn't had problems in their marriage?

I wouldn't mind if Speidi won. I champion the most entertaining people. We shouldn't vote for boring people to win. The celebs have been put in the house for our entertainment for three weeks, so the person who has entertained us the most should win. Speidi have definitely been the most entertaining. What would we have done if they'd not been in there?

But I'm still rooting for Razor or Rylan to win.

Check back tomorrow to read my views on tonight's show.

Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Nicola McLean gives her frank opinion on this series exclusively for Reveal!

OMG!! What on earth happened between Heidi and Spencer in the bedroom last night?! I can't work out if they had sex or whether she was doing something else to him under the covers. Whatever it was, it was all over within a minute! We all know about sexual frustration, but come on now. I was almost sick in my own mouth! I just found them SO cringey in the lead-up to whatever happened, what with Heidi saying "I wanna get naughty!" and Spencer slapping her butt. Ew! I hope those housemates who criticised Speidi for not kissing or being affectionate are eating their words now. Thank goodness we haven't had to see that continually for the last two weeks! I can't wait to see if they 'fess up tonight, especially as it appears Gillian saw.



Apart from sex-gate (if that is what happened), I am just finding this series SO boring. There's no glamour in the house – everyone is moping around in their dressing gowns - there's no fun or excitement. I thought the Dictator Task was really poor compared to previous tasks. It reminded me of something my son Rocky would act out in the playground with his friends. I'm just so pleased Speidi are still in. Imagine if they had been evicted?



As a nation, we are all very gracious and never discuss winning. Even on Rocky's sports day, there is no winning anymore. It really frustrates my husband Tom and I, especially given that he's a professional footballer, and even Rocky thinks it's silly. Spencer and Heidi, however, are definitely not afraid to discuss winning! When Heidi declared that she wouldn't need another eviction dress because they wouldn't be evicted, Claire looked fuming! As much as it would annoy me, I would've just laughed and commented on how confident there are. I'm not sure if it's because they are American, but I actually quite like their attitude. Big Brother is a game, so they should want to win!



I am confused about Speidi's issues with bacteria. Last night, Spencer covered his hand with his sleeve before touching the bathroom door. I have my own issues with public toilets, which is a nightmare at the moment as I'm potty training Striker and have to keep making mad dashes, but my issues don't switch on and off. If I was drunk, I'd still avoid touching toilet flushers and doors. Yet Spencer – who has complained about "all the bacteria" in the take-aways/ plates/ cups/ glasses etc - is able to take a massive bite out of Razor's burger! It makes me wonder how much of it is an act exactly....



The favourite to go tonight is Tricia, and I am tipping her to leave as well. I know a lot of the housemates are purely on CBB for the money and to boost their careers, but they NEED to liven up! By going on the show, they have also agreed to be our entertainment for three weeks, so almost have an obligation. It's the Big bloody Brother house, enjoy it for goodness sake! In my year, we were allowed to sleep during the day, yet Razor was woken up by an alarm yesterday. But as my husband said last night, they probably can't afford for the housemates to take an hour nap as there won't be enough footage!

Check back tomorrow to read my views on tonight's eviction.
