Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff gives five housemates immunity after becoming the second person to be evicted from Celebrity Big Brother

By Sarah Fitzmaurice



Evicted: Pamela Bach has become the second person to be evicted from the Big Brother House last night



Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff has become the second person to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house.



The 47-year-old mother-of-two was evicted from the house in a surprise eviction earlier tonight.



Pamela was tasked with giving half of the house immunity from Friday's eviction and chose to save Jedward, Paddy Doherty, Amy Childs and Kerry Katona from the public vote.





Short and sparkly: Pamela opted for a silver and black sparkling dress with a large black waist belt and sheer tights for the eviction





Pamela had donned a short silver and black sequined dress which she teamed with a thick waist belt and sheer tights.



As she departed the house she said she was happy to be leaving and told housemates: 'Have a great time be kind to each other.'



Pamela was greeted by a loud chorus of boos and a few cheers as she exited the house.





Safe from eviction: Pamela chose Jedward and Paddy as her first two choices to save from eviction on Friday





Speaking to Brian Dowling in her post-eviction interview she said she thought Darryn was the reason she was out of the house but said she didn't hold any grudges.



Speaking of paparazzo Lyons, who was also up for eviction, she said he 'did a lot of in your ear stuff,' suggesting he was influencing other housemates.





Keeping it in the family: The actress also selected her 'sexy sister' Amy and 'mummy to mummy' Kerry to also be saved from the public vote



The actress and producer said she had even overheard him talking to other housemates while she was ill.



Pamela, who used to be married to David Hasselhoff, said that she had a 'great time' in the house but couldn't identify who had voted for apart from Darryn and Tara.



Opening up: Pamela said she though Darryn was the reason she was evicted and said he did ' a lot of in the ear stuff' suggesting he was influencing the others but said she didn't hold a grudge



The blonde who was often heard making bizarre statements while in the house said her favourite catchphrase was 'Breathe in god breathe out love.'



Yesterday Pamela was teamed with Bobby in the twin task becoming Pambob, but the pair failed to prove that they had the most 'twintuition'.



After viewing a montage of her best bits in the house Pamela was given one final task to perform.



Still smiling:



Despite the audible boos from the audience Pamela had a smile on her face as she made her way from the house



Unimpressed? Darryn, who Pamela suggested was behind her eviction did not look happy when she failed to save him from eviction on Friday



She had to choose four people in the house to offer immunity to, meaning half the house would be exempt from the eviction on Friday.



After a few moments of silence she said:'One thousand percent John and Edward.'



Double trouble: Yesterday Pamela and Bobby had taken part in the twin task together becoming Pambob but failed to prove they had the most 'twintuition'



Short stint: Pamela lasted just two weeks inside the Big Brother house and has become the second person to be evicted from the show



And while the crowd shouted out names she continued: 'I'm gonna pick Paddy.'



She also saved Amy Childs who she dubbed her 'sexy sister' before saying :'Mummy to Mummy Kerry.'



Bobby, Darryn, Lucien and Tara are all now up for Friday's eviction.

By Sarah Fitzmaurice



First day back: Holly Willoughby returned to work at Celebrity Juice today after giving birth to her daughter five months ago



She might be a mother of two but Holly Willoughby’s style is anything but mumsy.



In fact the TV presenter showed off her wild side as she arrived at the Riverside studios to film Celebrity Juice.



Holly, 30, looked simply stunning as she arrived ready for work carrying an animal print Mulberry Alexa on her arm and teaming it with a pair of pony print heels.





Walking on the wild side: The 30-year-old mother of two carried an animal print Mulberry Alexa bag which she teamed with a pair of pony print heels





The This Morning presenter had donned a black pleated knee-length skirt and a peach wraparound cardigan and finished her look off with a grey blazer.



It was hard to believe that Holly has given birth to her second child just five months ago as she showed off an enviable post-baby figure.



The TV personality wore her luscious blonde locks down around her shoulders and had opted for simple makeup with some liquid eyeliner and rosy cheeks.





Looking great: The mother of two donned a knee-length black pleated skirt a peach wraparound top and a grey blazer as she returned to work



Holly was returning to work for the first time after giving birth to her daughter Belle in April.



And the presenter had tweeted that she was feeling apprehensive after the five-month break.



She posted: ‘First day back at work today!!!! Cant wait to start the new series of Celeb juice, feeling slightly nervous! Wander if I can still do it! X’



She added: ‘The weirdest thing is going to be getting ready, forgotten what my face looks like with tv slap on! Proper clothes,not just my scruffs!!! X’



But as she stepped out at the studios Holly clearly didn’t have anything to worry about.



Holly also told her fans that she couldn’t believe that Belle was five months old and tweeted: ‘Belle is 5 months today!!!! Can you believe it, as they say, time flies when your having fun! Xxx’ (sic)



The TV presenter will be re-joining her co-presenter Phillip Schofield on the This Morning couch from Monday next week.
