Jessica Taylor & Pavel Aubrecht
Up next was singer Jessica and professional skater Pavel, performing to ‘Heaven (Candlelight Mix)’ by DJ Sammy. Scoring a 20.5 (.5 lower than their score last week), some of the judges thought that although this was Jessica’s wedding song, no emotion was trasmitted to the audience. The couple wore white costumes with silver lined detail.
—
3rd Performance
Donal McIntyre & Florentine Houdiniere
Performing to ‘The Dock of the Bay’ by Otis Reading, the couple dusky blue costumes with Florentine’s designed to flow gracefully as she skated around the ice rink. Over the routine was good and judges scored it at 15 out of 30.

Performing to the pop classic ‘Faith’ by George Michael, Darya skated onto the ice wearing lime green socks, hot pants and top. The couple scored a total of 16 – some judges with high and others with lower. They commented that is wasn’t incredibly technical but scored well non-the-less.

—
10th Performance
Dancing to The Beatle’s ‘Help’, Todd’s partner Susie wore a blue top with orange poka dot flowing skirt. Todd coupled this with a VERY LOUD jacket. Scoring a very low but comedy worthy 9.5 – owed due to Todd flying out of sight and off the rink. Although it was choreographed, Todd added his own spirit to the performance and was clearly everyone’s favourite performance on the night.

11th Performance
Roxanne Pallet & Daniel Whiston
Last to enter the rink was Roxanne and her partner Daniel, performing to ‘Genie in a Bottle’ by Christina Aguilera. Roxanne sported a canary yellow dress, with green detail and pink top. The couple scored a respectable 18, a little higher than last week.

Shortly after the eviction of Tina Malone, Mutya (who was also up for the public vote) announced that she was going to quit and will be leaving the house too.
After reportedly getting paid £75,000 to appear on the show, could she now lose out? After viewers paying to keep her in, surely her fans are now very disappointed!
Mutya, ex-sugababe member, and recent solo-artist was first seen wearing a Leopard Skin Kimono to enter the house and since then it seems to be very popular, with visitors to the site looking for similar looks.

After a tense week in the Big Brother House, the housemates decided to put Ulrika Jonsson (1), Michelle Heaton (2), Mutya Buena (3) and Tina Malone (4) up for the public vote this week. We were particularly suprised to see shameless star Tina in the vote, as earlier in the week, she appeared to be the only member of the house that didn’t burst into tears as they rushed to stand as statues in the house toy box, during their dressing up task earlier in the week, and production staff sent screaming children into the house.
As the results were announce, Davina looked particularly warm in her military style coat (View & Buy – [watch this space] / Switch & Save – Batilka Coat @ All Saints) and continued to wear her long black leather gloves, which you’re all shows a particular liking too! Switch & Save – Leather Gloves @ Anadoti.
Back to week 2’s eviction…
.. and it was favourite Tina Malone who the public voted to leave this week!
Tina left the house wearing a black suede look coat, silver glitsy dress and fury bag (View & Buy – [watch this space]).
