Celebrity Big Brother’s Grant Bovey to be the ‘first housemate voted out’

GRANT Bovey is the red hot favourite to be the first evicted from Celebrity Big Brother.

The 55-year-old ex husband of Anthea Turner is apparently proving to be a miss with the viewers, and is odds on to be kicked off the show on Friday's live eviction.

Grant is up against broadcaster James Whale and Emma Willis will reveal the results on Friday's show.

Odds looks set against him as William Hill have said he is a shocking 1/6 to go, whereas James is at 7/2.

“Grant Bovey has not been adding value in the house and he looks doomed to be the first constant to get the boot,” said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.

Since being in the house, Grant has developed a flirty relationship with Geordie Shore lass Marnie Simpson after she told him on the first night he was "sexy for 55".

Marnie later gushed about him in the diary room and told Big Brother: “Grant is a dark horse, I think he fancies us.

She then giggled: “Me and Grant have got a strong bond. He wants to have a full blown affair with me!”

In scenes set to be aired tonight, she tells Katie Waissel: “I feel like I’m close to Grant. You can get close to someone without it necessarily being romantically. I did say that Grant was sexy but that was just a joke.”

Katie later told her that Grant had the "hots" for her.

Marnie then added: “Me and him have had some proper in-depth conversations, and I never have them type of conversations with people so I feel like we’ve got a strong bond.”

Grant was put up for nomination by Frankie Grande, Christopher Biggins, James, Saira Khan, Ricky Norwood, Aubrey O'Day, Katie and Renee Graziano.

He gained the second highest amount of votes after James Whale, and reasons as to why alluded to the fact that he was "isolated" and "likes to keep himself to himself."
