Helen Lederer and Sandi Bogle leave the Celebrity Big Brother House in double eviction

SANDI Bogle and Helen Lederer became the sixth and seventh housemates to be evicted from Celebrity Big brother tonight.

The crowd seemed surprised that the public vote had failed to save the two popular housemates.

Even presenter Emma Willis seemed disappointed at the news, telling the audience it was a "shame" Helen, 62, and Sandi had to leave.

She told them during the post eviction chat:  "The two people I did not expect to come out tonight."

Sandi said she was "happy to have made it this far," while Helen said she was surprised to have kept her sanity.

She said: "I'm so surprised I'm here sitting upright and talking to you. Everyone is mad. Derek speaks. Shaun does quizzes. Sandi cooks all the time. And I try to avert disaster trying to look neutral and pleasant.

"I'm grateful for the opportunity. It's like you're at a party or school playground when noone's talking to you. It's quite challenging.

"It's quite lonely. And you don't have your best friend or someone with the same humour."

"I did one day of crying. I'm sure we all did secretly. I was dull."

Helen learned Sarah Harding nominated her while Sandi was told Chad Johnson picked her for the chop.

Both had their own opinion of the controversial couple with Helen declaring they "know how to work it."

Sandi added: "Chad is baffled and bewildered from start to finish. She's teaching and training him."

Helen added: "I love Sarah in the day - she becomes different in the evening."
