Mikey sent to jail in the rain

Michael was sent to prison this evening for a conversation with Luke in which Big Brother said he predicted nominations.

He left the Diary Room saying he was "shocked" to receive instructions directing him to jail.

Big Brother said: "Michael, in a conversation with Luke about Belinda, you said 'Let's just say, if I'm awake tonight because of her, she's going'. Luke replied, 'Going where - B'Block?'. You replied, 'She's either leaving here or going out the front door, because I ain't putting up with it'."

However, Michael said they did not give him the opportunity to defend himself.

"It was my own personal thing on the situation that I was gonna address on my own, in my own way," he said. "They construed it into trying to influence things. That is totally not the case – absolutely no way."

When Luke realised that he had been present for the illicit conversation, he told Mikey that his sentence was "an injustice".

"You’re an innocent man!" he declared.

Mikey later apologised to Belinda about his comments, saying he had not meant to influence anybody into voting against her and that her snoring had not disturbed him last night.

"It was totally blown out of all proportion," he told her.

As it began to rain, Big Brother provided Mikey with a sleeping bag and "wet weather items".
