Imogen and Sezer banned from nominating

Imogen and Sezer have been banned from participating in the first round of nominations.

The couple were rapped by BB for a discussion yesterday in which both implied that they would be nominating Richard.

Each was called to the diary room as usual at the correct juncture of the nominations process - but was instead informed that they could not vote.

Imogen and Sezer decided to keep their ban secret from the other housemates, apart from close allies Grace and Mikey.

Later Sezer told Imogen that he accepted responsibility for the incident, which could lead to members of his "group" facing the axe. "I know Grace is not happy - she's got it in her head that she's going to be up - and I know if she is, fingers will point at me," he said.

He also insisted that he would not go head-to-head with Imogen in a public vote, telling her: "There's no way I'd stand against you. I'd walk."
