6.38pm: Linda is concerned about the potato situation. They've been cut too small, which could lead to unsatisfactory roasties.

Day 17: The nomination situation

Watching the housemates make their nominations, it’s amazing what a difference a week makes. Prior to the first three evictions, our celebs looked truly pained to be forced to choose one or two of their fellow guests to leave the House.

Not anymore. It seems that the process has become second nature to the celebrities, something they know they have to do.

Ollie was first, and he was comfortable and relaxed throughout, returning with a real spring in his step. Sam was next, and she too seemed cool, calm and collected. Casey followed suit, and only when Linda entered the Diary Room did we have any sign of torment or uncertainty. She took ages, and even shed a tear. Any suggestion that she would just walk in, nominate Jim and leave was blown away.

Liz followed Linda and breezed through her nominations. Then it was Luisa and, well, Luisa’s always given the impression that she quite likes this part of the show.

Dappy went next and he did look conflicted, but how much of that was genuine and how much was the latest episode of The Dappy Show, it’s hard to say.

Jim followed Dappy, and we were back to the hitman-style coolness of before. He even returned to the lounge with a classic evil laugh. Finally, Lee went in and, for once, he also waltzed through with the minimum amount of fuss.

So by our calculations, 77% of our housemates have become calculated assassins. All that remains is to find out who they all voted for. Watch this space.

6.50pm: Ollie is offended at the perceived slight on his potato-chopping skills, and has gone to sulk in the garden

6:55pm: Lee has proposed making garlic carrots. It's prompted some Peter Kay-esque reactions.

7.08pm: Bored of waiting for the roast dinner to be ready, Dappy has decided to go back to bed. #DappyNap

7.23pm: Linda and Jim are still helping with the cooking. From the comfort of the sofa.

Any news as to who has been nominated please Scotty? * crosses everything that Linda is in the mix *

7.34pm: Jim is just checking if it is a fan oven. This could suggest he hasn't cooked in 17 days. #justsayin

Nothing yet Baz, CH5 site is having internet problems. I`m keeping an eye on DS for any info from elsewhere. Got everything crossed for Linda too. 

thanks Scotty 

Thanks Scotty  

7.49pm: Luisa is making an apple crumble. Everyone is very excited about this.

Want noms news? All will be revealed EXCLUSIVELY on  http://t.co/WnlEqvehDm  later tonight.

As soon as the housemates know, you'll know!
