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.


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.

Short and sparkly: Pamela opted for a silver and black sparkling dress with a large black waist belt and sheer tights for the eviction


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.

Safe from eviction: Pamela chose Jedward and Paddy as her first two choices to save from eviction on Friday

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.

Belle of the ball: Cindy Crawford dazzles on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival as she steps out in sparkling red gown


She is not a film star, but Cindy Crawford who stole the show today as she walked the red carpet at the opening ceremony for the Venice Film Festival.

The 45-year-old supermodel wowed the crowd in a stunning vibrant red gown with an asymmetric neckline and flowing floor length skirt.

Still got it: The 45-year-old supermodel came out to support the Ides Of March directed by her friend George Clooney


The man of the night: George Clooney's film The Ides Of March opened the festival

She paired the sparkling gown with red peep toe stilettos, diamond jewellery and a ruby coloured clutch.

Cindy, along with her husband of thirteen years, Rande Gerber, stepped out to support their friend George Clooney,whose movie The Ides Of March was premiering as part of the Venice Film Festivals opening ceremony.

The pair have been staying with George in the run up to the festival at his Lake Como villa.

The Ides of March, a political drama, is among 23 films - five from Hollywood - vying for the coveted Golden Lion, which will be awarded September 10.

The jury will be headed by American director Darren Aronofsky, a two-time Golden Lion winner whose "Black Swan" was launched to huge Oscar success after opening in Venice last year.

The film tells the story of an ambitious campaign press secretary, played by Ryan Gosling, who gets swept up in a political scandal in the last frantic days of a heavily contested primary race.

It also stars Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti as rival campaign managers, is adapted from the play "Farragut North" by Beau Willimon.

Clooney said the movie was ready to begin filming when Barack Obama was elected U.S. president in 2008.

Handsome date: Cindy was accompanied by her husband of 13-years Rande Gerber

Cover girl: The model shows she still has what it takes, dazzling in a red shimmering, floor-length gown


In all, 66 films will make their world premiere at the 68th edition of the world's oldest festival. It is the first time since World War II that all feature films in the festival's three official events - in competition, out of competition and the "Horizons" avant-garde section - are world premieres.

Nearly half of the festival's lineup is high-powered English-language films, a sign of its growing prestige in the eight years that it has been directed by Marco Mueller.

How'd i look? George poses for the cameras and pulls a nervous face as he heads into the theater


The strong selection also includes Roman Polanski's "Carnage," an adaptation of the Broadway show God of Carnage, featuring Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet and Christoph Waltz; David Cronenberg's take on psychoanalysis, A Dangerous Method, featuring Keira Knightley, Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender; and Shame, a drama by British director Steve McQueen featuring Fassbender and Carey Mulligan.

Other American movies in competition include end-of-the-world film 4:44 Last Day on Earth by Abel Ferrara; Dark Horse starring Mia Farrow and Christopher Walken and directed by Todd Solondz; Killer Joe, a black comedy by William Friedkin starring Matthew McConaughey in the title role; and the second feature film by Ami Canaan Mann, Texas Killing Fields, a murder drama featuring Sam Worthington and Jessica Chastain.

Grand arrival: Cindy and Randy arrive at the event by gondola

House guest: The couple have been staying with George Clooney at his villa on Lake Como

First day back: Holly Willoughby returned to work at Celebrity Juice today after giving birth to her daughter five months ago


She might be a mother of two but Holly Willoughby’s style is anything but mumsy.

In fact the TV presenter showed off her wild side as she arrived at the Riverside studios to film Celebrity Juice.

Holly, 30, looked simply stunning as she arrived ready for work carrying an animal print Mulberry Alexa on her arm and teaming it with a pair of pony print heels.


The This Morning presenter had donned a black pleated knee-length skirt and a peach wraparound cardigan and finished her look off with a grey blazer.

It was hard to believe that Holly has given birth to her second child just five months ago as she showed off an enviable post-baby figure.

The TV personality wore her luscious blonde locks down around her shoulders and had opted for simple makeup with some liquid eyeliner and rosy cheeks.

Walking on the wild side: The 30-year-old mother of two carried an animal print Mulberry Alexa bag which she teamed with a pair of pony print heels

Looking great: The mother of two donned a knee-length black pleated skirt a peach wraparound top and a grey blazer as she returned to work


Holly was returning to work for the first time after giving birth to her daughter Belle in April.

And the presenter had tweeted that she was feeling apprehensive after the five-month break.

She posted: ‘First day back at work today!!!! Cant wait to start the new series of Celeb juice, feeling slightly nervous! Wander if I can still do it! X’

She added: ‘The weirdest thing is going to be getting ready, forgotten what my face looks like with tv slap on! Proper clothes,not just my scruffs!!! X’

But as she stepped out at the studios Holly clearly didn’t have anything to worry about.

Holly also told her fans that she couldn’t believe that Belle was five months old and tweeted: ‘Belle is 5 months today!!!! Can you believe it, as they say, time flies when your having fun! Xxx’ (sic)

The TV presenter will be re-joining her co-presenter Phillip Schofield on the This Morning couch from Monday next week.

Touch down: Nicole looked effortlessly stunning when she arrived at Heathrow on Monday


Nicole Scherzinger looked effortlessly beautiful as she touched down in Heathrow airport on Monday.

The singer, 33, chose a palette of matching neutrals and sported a very co-ordinated outfit.

She wore a pretty cream lace dress, casual brown leather jacket and black sunglasses.


Nicole's shoes looked like they were made with that particular outfit in mind, as the three colours of the strappy sandals perfectly matched the three colours of her clothing.

The US X Factor judge also carried a laptop bag and a cream bag with leopard print detailing.

She looked remarkably fresh faced and happy after landing in London from Los Angeles and smiled away at the awaiting paparazzi.

utralise: She picked a very co-ordinated outfit as she jetted in to promote her latest single Wet


The Pussycat Doll is in town to promote her latest UK single Wet, which was released on Monday.

It is the fourth release from the singer's debut solo album, Killer Love.

Prior to her visit Nicole had been enjoying a bit of time away from the glare of the spotlight ahead of the US X Factor launch.

She has already filmed auditions but will debut on the show in September alongside Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and L.A. Reid.

Hometown: Nicole recently holidayed in Honolulu, Hawaii, where she grew up

‘There are no rules, you never know what he’s going to come in feeling like or what you’re going to be doing.’

Last week she was spotted taking a well-deserved beach break in Honolulu, Hawaii, where she grew up.

Last-ditch High Court bid to prevent bailiffs entering site from midnight

By Andrew Levy


Backing: Actress Vanessa Redgrave, right, speaks to the media at Dale Farm alongside traveller Mary Ann McCarthy, second left, and Dale Farm supporter Anne Kobayashi


She has never been shy to speak up for a controversial cause.

And last night Vanessa Redgrave was at the centre of a fresh dispute as she backed ‘strong, wise, warm and gentle’ travellers in their fight against eviction from Europe’s largest illegal camp.

The veteran actress arrived at the 1,000-strong settlement at Crays Hill in Essex to say that kicking out the inhabitants – who must leave by tonight under the terms of an eviction notice – would breach their human rights.

But neighbours accused the 74-year-old of ‘interfering with something she knows nothing about’. They have complained of threats, anti-social behaviour, petty crime and fly-tipping.

Support: Miss Redgrave visits Gratton Puxton, far left, baby Caitlin Mcarthy and her mother at the site ahead of tomorrow's eviction day


Property developer Len Gridley, 52, whose land is bordered by the site, said: ‘She is an actress who doesn’t live in the real world.

‘She is like all the Left-wingers and tree-huggers who come here. If they really knew what it was like they would be on my side of the fence.

‘She’s got plenty of property – let her have them. I think she’d have them on her land for a week and then she’d change her mind.

‘She shouldn’t be interfering with something she knows nothing about. This is green belt land and it should stay green belt land.’

Big issue: Dale Farm is the largest Romany Gypsy and Irish Traveller site in the United Kingdom


Another resident, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals, said: ‘We have suffered for years while the travellers have acted like a law unto themselves and used the legal system to sit tight.

‘Vanessa Redgrave has no right to stick her oar in.’

The actress, who has made more than 80 films, is a prominent Left-wing activist who has backed causes including the unification of Ireland, nuclear disarmament and opposition to the Iraq War.

Speaking at the traveller camp, she said she hoped ‘humanity would triumph’, adding: ‘The whole situation is really about planning – there’s no crime that’s been committed.’

Earlier in the day, she said: ‘I am certain that the eviction is illegal under international, mandatory, human rights conventions. I am appalled that such an action can be upheld by our Government.’

Protest: The residents of Dale Farm say the eviction is a massive waste of public money and that they will put up resistance if police try to force them out

Resistance: The Dale Farm travellers say that they won't go quietly if police move in. Many locals fear the situation will turn ugly


Dozens of legal plots have existed at the Crays Hill site for decades but hundreds more travellers began developing land there a decade ago and have used human rights laws and legal aid to fight Basildon Council’s attempts to move them.

The Court of Appeal finally ruled last year that more than 80 families on 52 plots should leave, but the travellers have threatened violent resistance.

Today one of the travellers, Mary Flynn, launched an 11th-hour High Court bid to stop the evictions on the grounds that she was suffering from ill health.

The 72-year-old said that if bailiffs switched off electricity at the site, a nebuliser she uses to aid breathing would cut out.

Mary O’Brien, a mother of two who lives at the camp, said last night: ‘These are our homes. We are not going to go without a fight. It will be bloody and violent.’

Basildon Council said warning letters would be sent to those who ignored the eviction notice.

-Mother-of-one entertained guests with a magician, harpist and two bands
-Treated herself to a £1,500 jewel-encrusted iPad case
-Employer had already increased Lane's wages after she pleaded poverty

By Louise Boyle


Indulgent: Kirsty Lane, pictured with husband Graham, planned her dream wedding at a Tudor-built hall and laid on a free bar for guests along with two bands and a fireworks display


A bride paid for her lavish wedding - including two bands, a free bar and a fireworks display - with the £168,000 she had stolen from her boss.

Kirsty Lane, 29, only aroused the suspicions of her former employer when she invited him to her no- expenses spared big day.

Lane stole the money from the company in Leyland, Lancashire where she'd worked for four years by falsifying invoices in her role as a part-time accounts clerk.

Her former boss Peter Sutton said today that her 'unbridled greed' had almost ruined the business.

Mr Sutton, from Preston, said two people lost their jobs because of the ordeal.

He said: 'It was like she was rubbing our faces in it. It was the wedding that first started to raise alarm bells.

'Up to that point we had no idea. She was always claiming poverty and didn't do anything that would tip us off.

'Then the wedding was the most lavish thing I've ever seen. I trusted her implicitly and this was how she repaid us.'

The mother-of-one admitted to 122 counts of fraud at Leyland Magistrates' Court for stealing from audio visual company Pure AV where she worked until January.

The court heard how she used the stolen money to fund her dream wedding earlier this year to fiance Graham at the Tudor-built Great Hall at Mains venue, in Little Singleton, near Blackpool.

She laid on a fireworks show, harpist, saxophone player, magician, two bands, a DJ, free bar, face painting and even bought elaborate feathered masks for all her guests.

She purchased bridesmaids dresses using company accounts and even bought a lavish £1,500 jewel-encrusted case for her iPad.

Sealed with a kiss: The couple's lavish wedding took place at Mains venue in Little Singleton, near Blackpool


Lane pleaded guilty to ten counts of fraud worth a total of £38,000 and asked for a further 112 counts of fraud to be taken into consideration.

Mr Sutton said he did not suspect anything was amiss until he and colleagues attended the function and were shocked at how 'elaborate' the celebrations were.

Days after the wedding, while Lane was off enjoying a 'mini-moon' in the Lake District, Mr Sutton said a routine problem with an account set off alarm bells about financial discrepancies which made him look more closely at the accounts.

He found Lane had been using real invoices to existing suppliers to make payments into her own bank account for more than two years.

Rolling in it: The bride's dream wedding was funded by false invoices that she paid into her bank account


It took two months to uncover the full extent of the deception. Lane was arrested at her home in Adlington as she was preparing to go on a longer honeymoon to Mexico.

Mr Sutton said: 'If she had been in work when the problem surfaced she would have been able to hide it like she had for so long.

'But because I was already getting suspicious, it all started to come out. It was a very clever, incredibly devious operation that was calculated to the nth degree.


No expense spared: Canapes were served at the reception, along with Buck's Fizz amid ornate flower displays


'You read about these things but you never think it will happen to you. It caused a lot of sleepless nights. We are not a large company, a lot of livelihoods depend on us.

'How it didn't sink us I don't know. It is only through the sheer determination of the rest of the team that we are still here.'

Mr Sutton said the company even loaned Lane £7,000 and increased her wages after she complained she was struggling financially, despite stealing thousands.

Lane refused to comment when asked for her response at her home in Adlington.

She has been bailed to appear at Leyland Magistrates' Court on October 13 ahead of sentencing at Preston Crown Court later.
