Ulrika Jonsson up for BB eviction

Jonsson is the first celebrity of the new series to be put up for eviction

Ulrika Jonsson has been secretly put up for eviction from the Celebrity Big Brother house by Terry Christian.

Head-of-house Christian put the 41-year-old TV host up for eviction from the Channel 4 show after he decided she was the housemate with the biggest ego.

Jonsson will be joined in a public vote by two other celebrities who TV presenter Christian will also secretly nominate for eviction.

The first housemate will be voted out of the show on Friday.

Christian made his first nomination after filming his fellow celebrities with a video camera for a task to create closing credits for Sunday's programme.

We all have big egos and low self-esteem. That's why we're in the business Terry Christian

When asked to conclude which housemate had the most inflated ego, Christian told Big Brother: "No-one I filmed today showed any part of an ego, only me as I go on about being head of house.

"We all have big egos and low self-esteem. That's why we're in the business," he said.

Pushed for an answer, he chose Jonsson saying: "Everything seems to get on her nerves about me and the situation.

"I may be wrong and I'll suffer the consequences."

Monday's show will see Christian secretly choose a second celebrity to face the public vote by deciding which housemate has the least talent.

Other celebrities taking part in the show include 2ft 8in (83cm) tall movie star Verne Troyer, ex-Sugababe Mutya Buena, US rapper Coolio and La Toya Jackson, the sister of pop star Michael.
