Celebrity Big Brother reveals punishment for Louis Walsh and Lauren Simon after they break the rules

Celebrity Big Brother has revealed the punishment for Louis Walsh and Lauren Simon after they broke the rules in the house.

We've all been absolutely loving tuning into the latest celeb antics in the infamous Big Brother house and the latest bit of drama sees the former X Factor judge and the The Real Housewives of Cheshire star break a pretty major rule.

On tonight's episode (8 March), the all-seeing eye reveals to the rest of the housemates that there has been a rule break.

Big Brother tells the group: "It is against the rules for Housemates to discuss their nominations with each other and this includes speculating or guessing on who has nominated whom or who might nominate whom in the future.

"This morning, this rule was broken by Louis and Lauren."

Big Brother then reads out Louis and Lauren’s conversation to the rest of the house, including Lauren referring to Zeze Millz when she says 'she hates me'.

After being asked to stand up by Big Brother, Lauren tells her fellow housemates: "I’m sorry for putting you all in this situation. I was talking about my emotions and how I was feeling about being nominated.

"In fairness, I’m living with a group of people who I have grown to love and adore and it’s upset me that a few different people, not just one person, has nominated me. I’m sorry for getting everyone in this situation and I apologise."

Louis then stands up and adds: "I couldn’t understand how she was nominated because she’s such a great person.

"I didn’t want to lose her. That’s all."

Big Brother then reveals Louis and Lauren’s punishment, telling the pair: "Louis and Lauren.

"Wrap up warm and then please make your way into the garden where you will place yourselves in the Celebrity Wheelie Bin of Shame until further notice."

Big Brother adds: "Whilst you’re in the Celebrity Wheelie Bin of Shame, you must together write a meaningful letter of apology to the rest of the housemates."

Revealed exclusively on last night's episode of Celebrity Big Brother (7 March), the housemates learned that Lauren received the most nominations this week.

Lauren received six nominations from Zeze, Bradley Riches, Colson Smith, Gary Goldsmith, Marisha Wallace, Nikita Kuzmin.

Voting for this week’s eviction opened at the end of last night's show exclusively via the Big Brother app, with viewers being asked to vote for the housemate they wish to save from eviction.

After the votes are counted, it will be announced who is first to leave the infamous BB house: Gary or Lauren?

Viewers can then watch hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best grill the evictee in their first live interview on Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live.

Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
