Day 29 of 71 - Looks like Vanessa's evicted...

It'd appear that there's no doubt about who is going to be evicted from the Big Brother house tonight, after the official Channel 4 website leaked the results...
In the "housemates" photo bar across the top of the site, each housemate has their current contestant status shown by a graphic - either just their face if they're still in and not nominated, a "nominated" graphic if they are up for the public vote, or "evicted" if they've been voted out. Then of course there's also Emma's "gone" graphic.
So to the leak of who's been evicted... clearly Vanessa has been, because at 4:30pm her "evicted" graphic is up on the Big Brother server, ready to be put in to place. Dan, who is up against her, doesn't have his evicted graphic up, and neither do any of the other housemates who are still in the house.
It's quite possibly a monumental gaffe by Big Brother, but it's no less than we'd we'd expect from previous years when similar issues have cropped up by the phone lines being opened before the nominations had been announced, and other technical hitches giving away secrets - much like the overhearing of Davina mention the "bedsit" during the fake eviction the other week.
Unless there's a sudden turn-around in the voting during the remaining couple of hours, it looks as though without a doubt, Vanessa has been evicted tonight.
Update...
Possibly realising the mistake, Channel 4's website now appears to have all of the housemate's "evicted" graphics working again. Stick with The Eye for the latest eviction news as it happens later tonight.
