Ulrika Jonsson is the first to face eviction from Celebrity Big Brother - despite being the highest-paid contestant to date.

Huge fee: Ulrika with her housemate Tina Malone

Channel 4 has paid the TV presenter £175,000 to appear on the reality show, on the grounds that she is the biggest UK-based star. Other contestants were paid much less, with former A1 singer Ben Adams believed to have been paid £20,000. Jonsson, 41, was chosen for the boot by music journalist Terry Christian, who was given the privilege of making the first nomination. He said: "She's a nice enough girl...

Everything seems to get on her nerves about me and the situation." Christian decides today who will be up for eviction with Jonsson, who still has a chance to win the public vote. William Hill placed odds on her to win at 25/1, which puts her next-tolast, ahead of Scots politician Tommy Sheridan at 33/1.
