Jack P Shepherd's pal calls out 'easy' Celebrity Big Brother nominations

Former star Colson Smith has had his say on co-star Jack P Shepherd's repeated nominations.

David Platt actor Jack has been up for eviction both times, with it not entirely clear why. In the first nominations vote, he got eight votes by his co-stars.

Viewers were left questioning missing scenes on the show that could explain why all his new pals wanted him out of the house. When Jack was nominated for elimination once more this week, fans again couldn't work out why.

Some of the reasons given also didn't seem like actual motives behind putting him up for the chop. While some suggested it was down to lack of chats between them, other nominations have been a bit bizarre.

But with Jack surviving another day following , his pal Colson, who starred in the series a year ago, had his say to The and other press. He called out the "easy" reasons for Jack being nominated, hoping he would not be chosen for a third time.

Explaining what he thinks is the real reason Jack has been nominated more than others despite drama in the house, Colson predicted it could be about to change. He explained: "The reasons for nominations are people are just nominating him because he's Jack, sort of thing and I think he's doing really well.

"I would love him not to be up for eviction this time round and I feel like the dynamic in the house slightly change and we might see people vote for different people. I also have a sneaky feeling it'll be face-to-face nominations which is different. But Jack is the person that is so unfazed, he's an easy nomination at the moment.

"I think he's doing really well, I'm loving watching him. I hope he's ok, I think he's ok. I'm telling myself he is. He's being completely himself. I think he's having fun. We're seeing sides of Jack who is excitable and playful but I think he's doing really, really well.

"I want to see more of him. But everything we see of him, I'm liking and I think the people at home are liking too. I mean, everyone's backing him. aren't they?"

It comes as Trisha told hosts and she knew she would be leaving the show after being up against soap legends Jack and ' Patsy Palmer. On her departure she added: "A bit sad, I can't lie." Trisha also revealed how her time in the house had been an enjoyed break from reality.

In a candid admission, she said: "It meant a lot, it's respite, it's a holiday from having to think about cancer because with the team and my team in the States, they'd cleared everything so I didn't have to think of the next scan. Everything was cleared and I could be like a child again and yes, I did talk about cancer.

"I had to, why I've got my own bedroom and things like that. It is part of my life, as it is for 3.4 million Brits, so it was just a break from having to think about it. Heavy subjects came up now and again but it was just a break."
