Celebrity Big Brother: Leslie voted ‘Star of the Show’, puts Frenchy and Gary up for eviction

Celebrity Big Brother viewers have chosen Leslie Jordan to become the ‘Star of the Show’ in a nominations twist.

The Emmy winner – who earnt the title after topping a poll on the show’s official app – will get to choose who faces the first eviction of the series by banishing housemates to a ‘Celebrity Scrap Heap’ situated in the garden.

In a live show last night, Big Brother revealed Leslie’s new role to the house and instructed him to send his first two housemates to the scrap heap.

After some deliberation, Leslie opted to downgrade Angelique ‘Frenchy’ Morgan and Gary Busey to scrap heap dwellers, basing his decision on previous arguments he has had with the pair.

“Everyone has been so kind to me and so loving, and I’ve only had a fracas with two. How can I put that on anybody that’s been extremely sweet and welcoming to me?” – Leslie

Leslie will make a third nomination later today.
