Celebrity Big Brother is set for a dramatic shake-up tonight as three housemates will be evicted in a shocking triple elimination.
The ITV reality show has ramped up the tension with face-to-face nominations, a twist that has caused upset among contestants and viewers.
With the final expected around Friday, April 25, producers are dramatically slashing the number of housemates in the house.
The nominations took place last night, with emotions running high as contestants were forced to explain their reasons in a brutal face-to-face showdown.
After tonight's triple eviction, just six celebrities will remain in the competition for the final few days.
In a dramatic Easter-themed twist, one of the nominated housemates had been given the chance to save themselves from the triple eviction.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Big Brother revealed: "One of the nominated housemates is given the chance to save themselves. They must find the one golden egg hidden in a basket at the centre of the room."
This last-minute twist has added even more pressure to an already tense situation in the house – with JoJo Siwa coming out on top and replacing herself with Danny Beard.
Towie star Ella Rae Wise, broke down in tears and walked out of the room after receiving multiple nominations from her fellow housemates.
The nominations revealed that Angellica Bell, Wise, Chris Hughes, Beard and Patsy Palmer all face the dreaded triple eviction tonight.
The remaining contestants are now battling for a place in the final, which is just days away – however the triple eviction twist has left fans divided as many claimed it has "ruined" the final line-up.
Taking to their X accounts, one commented: "Triple sounds a bit rushed. ITV really need to extend CBB by another 10 days."
Another wrote: "Feel that this series is being RUSHED!! 3 weeks is not long enough. Evictions too close together."
Some viewers questioned the fairness of the golden egg twist, with one saying: "Getting to save yourself from a TRIPLE eviction is a bit much.
"Like this could be boosting someone from 9th to 6th place just because they find an egg."
"No need for the egg twist...just put the nominated housemates up! Doesn't need the extra dramatics," another complained.

However, not all were in disagreement with the twist as one penned: "Those moaning... don’t watch. They have limited time and want to create as much drama as possible. Shut up." (sic)
Former Tory MP Michael Fabricant was the first to be evicted, followed by Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke who was removed for "unacceptable behaviour".
Veteran broadcaster Trisha Goddard and Olympic champion Daley Thompson were also eliminated in previous weeks.
