Jo O'Meara - Facing the public eviction vote

Five of the 'Celebrity Big Brother' housemates will face the public eviction vote this week, with two of them due to leave the house tomorrow.

Housemates Dirk Benedict, Cleo Rocos, Shilpa Shetty, Ian 'H' Watkins and Jo O'Meara will all face this week's eviction vote.

Meanwhile, former housemate Ken Russell has joined the debate over allegations of racism towards Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on the show.

Referring to Jade Goody, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O'Meara, Russell used the term "guttersnipes".

When asked if he thought the bullying on the show was racially motivated, he said: "Yes, I've studied the programme and there's no doubt about it, Jade led the other two girls - who were just rather pretty, mindless ladies and, until she came in, doing no harm - into absolute bullies, like herself."

"I don't think Shilpa was expecting such treatment. I must say she stood up well to it. I hope she wins."
