Lionel Blair is the third housemate to be evicted from Celebrity Big Brother.<\/p>\n

Tonight’s live eviction saw all of the housemates up for the public vote aside from Casey Batchelor and Linda Nolan who were saved by Jasmine Waltz on Wednesday night. Presenter Emma Willis drew out the anticipation by announcing who was safe in batches of two throughout the live show.<\/p>\n

When Lionel’s name was announced the other housemates gasped clearly shocked that he was leaving. We have to admit that we didn’t see that one coming either. This series of Celebrity Big Brother has been a hard one to predict hasn’t it?<\/p>\n

The series has just under two weeks to go until the Grand Final and at this stage we have no idea who’s going to win it. If we were pushed we’d be choosing either Sam Faiers or Ollie Locke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
