Nominated: Lea, Richard and Sezer!

Lea, Richard and Sezer have been nominated for eviction this Friday, Big Brother has announced.

The news came as no surprise to Lea - last Friday she told Bonnie that she would be next out - but she was still left teary in the living room when the confirmation came.

Richard looked initially dejected, holding hands with Lea and repeating "it's me and you" before adopting a more comforting persona. "You don't know you're going yet," he told her, suggesting that for all she knew, she could be one of the most popular characters in the house.

Sezer, meanwhile, appeared to take the news in his stride. "I'm alright," he said. "I'm happy about it because I prepare myself for these things." Yesterday he claimed that he would "love" to go up against Lea because he knew he would win.

The others offered the usual words of comfort to the nominees, with Nikki informing them that there are "worse things in life to worry about".

Lea remained confident that she would be out, however, telling Imogen: "The birds are going to love [Sezer], and the gays are going to love [Richard]. No-one's going to like me."
