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.

Who's that girl? Former Big Brother star Josie Gibson showed off her noticeably slimmer frame on Let's Do Lunch With Gino And Mel last week



She said in an interview earlier this month that she's a 'comfortable' size 16.



But former Big Brother star Josie Gibson is almost unrecognisable since her reality TV days, showing off her much slimmer frame as she appeared on ITV's new lunchtime show Let's Do Lunch With Gino And Mel.



Josie, 25, covered up in a printed blue kaftan-style top for her appearance on the show last week, but her weight loss was clear to see.



Disappearing: Josie, who says she was nearly a size 20 when she won Big Brother (right), is now a 'comfortable' size 16



The pretty blonde said earlier this month that she was happy enough with her size 16 figure, but added she is considering having surgery to sort out her breasts.



She said: 'I've given up drinking and it's marvellous. Your skin's better, the whites of your eyes look better and you feel better. I'm a size 16 and I'm comfortable.'



'But I'm going to get my boobs done as one's a D cup and the other's three times smaller. I'd never have lipo - I exercise to tone up.



'I'm shaped like a Christmas tree and one boob's bigger than the other so I'd only give myself four out of ten. I love my eyes, but I really have to work on my bottom half.'



Josie was prompted to lose weight after coming out of the Big Brother house in 2010, and managed to slim down from 16st 7lb to 13st 7lbs.



Talking about losing weight, Josie said: 'I came out of the Big Brother house looking like Ten Ton Tessie. I put on a good two stone in the house. I didn't stop eating in there. I love my food.



'Obviously I wanted to lose weight as I'd turned into a bit of a heifer.



'Now I just feel really fit and healthy.



‘Before I lost weight I was nearly size 20 and my only exercise was partying. I've tried all the diets - I did the Cambridge Diet and lasted from the meeting until I got home!



'They gave me all the bits and pieces but I ate a week's worth of food on the spot, then stopped for a kebab.'







Slender: Josie looked significantly slimmer now than she did in June (right)



Since winning last year's Big Brother, and then taking part in Ultimate Big Brother, Josie has been working hard to further her presenting career, and has been fronting Channel 5 magazine show OKTV this week.



Before presenting her first show, Josie tweeted her followers: 'Omg super excited about my first proper presenting gig!



'Bit nervous but Mr Brazier really helping me. He's the nicest guy ever!!!'

White hot: Kate Hudson showed off her post-pregnancy curves in a little white bikini while enjoying a dip on holiday in the French Riviera



It seems Kate Hudson has a refreshing approach to losing her post-pregnancy baby weight.



While so many Hollywood actresses snap back into shape just weeks after giving birth, 32-year-old Hudson still looked curvy as she showed off her bikini body six weeks after welcoming son Bingham into the world.



Hudson donned a tiny white two-piece as she enjoyed a cooling dip in the sea while on holiday with her sons and fiancé Matt Bellamy on the French Riviera.





Curvy: The 32-year-old actress looked as though she was thoroughly enjoying her sunshine break





The Something Borrowed star, who is also mother to seven-year-old son Ryder, said recently that there is nothing wrong with putting on a lot of weight during pregnancy.



She said: 'There’s nothing to be ashamed of when you blow up. I would be eating ice cream, and my mom would literally pry the spoon away from me, saying, "You’ve had enough to last you a lifetime!" '





Chilling out: The pair welcomed their first son together, Bingham, in July





Hudson added to Marie Claire magazine: 'Let me tell you something. It's an emotional roller coaster, having to lose weight. I gained so much - I was 185lbs (13st 2lbs) at the end.



'You actually experience how much energy is stored in that and how much emotion you actually hold in that mass. It is emotional, no matter how determined you are. It takes work to bounce back so quickly.'





Changing shapes: Kate looking slim last year, and pregnant with son Bingham in May





Hudson and her Muse frontman beau Bellamy looked as though they were having a good time as they spent time together and enjoyed a glass of wine during the break.



The couple are riding high after the birth of Bingham just last month, and have been regularly spotted showing each other with tender affection.



They have recently been venturing out in public with their new baby, who was born on July 9 in Los Angeles.





Family life: Bellamy shared a picture of Hudson and their little boy Bingham on his Twitter page
