Tim and Alex face Big Brother axe

12 April 2012

Big Brother housemates Tim Culley and Alex Sibley have become the last contestants to be nominated for eviction.

Former public schoolboy, Tim, 23, is widely expected to be the public's choice to leave on Friday after suffering a difficult week in the house.

He was shocked to hear the crowd booing him when PJ Ellis was evicted last week and broke down in tears after winning a 40-second phone call with his mum.

Tim has also told Big Brother that he wants to be evicted because he fears becoming a hate figure if he stays any longer.

Referring to the crowd's jeers, he told Alex last night: "I really want to face the music. The longer I'm not nominated, the longer that will go on.

"I think I will get more respect by saying I want to stand up and be counted."

And he added: "What's the point of me staying in here if I'm not going to win?"

Bookies have him as the favourite to go on Friday, while male model Alex, also 23, has been reinstated as favourite to win the show and take home the £70,000 prize at odds of 13-8.

The other contestants left in the house include dental nurse Jade Goody, administrator Kate Lawler and fireman Jonny Regan.

The third series of Big Brother is due to end next week, although another person could be evicted before next Friday so that just three are left to face the final public vote.

Meanwhile, ratings for the current series continue to improve on last year, with last Friday's eviction shows attracting 6.1 million viewers at 8.30 p.m. and 6.8 million at 10 p.m., according to Channel 4.

The average audience for last week was 5.6 million, a 23 per cent increase on the same period last year.
