Carole takes nominations seriously

Carole spent an extra-long period in the diary room this afternoon because she says choosing whom to nominate is a serious business.

The housemates were called into the diary room one by one to make their votes but when Carole came out Charley mentioned how long she had taken.

Carole explained that she had to take that long and she had to make sure she had made the right decision. She told her: "It's actually a serious business Charley, we're actually deciding someone's fate out of the house and I am taking it seriously. People have had a long journey to get here. I'm fair and honest."

Jonathan agreed with Carole and backed her up, saying: "You're cognitive about it, you think about the whole group."

Carole continued and told Jonathan: "I had to think about the contributions people have made, what would be missing if they left, what would be added to if they remained, what they could continue, what the dynamic is."
