The ten housemates left in the house aren't expecting anything more than a normal eviction tonight when either Derek or Roberto are booted out of the house... but suprisingly for them they're going to get a new housemate... infact, 3 of them.

Rumours of new housemates have been rife for days now, and last night the tabloid papers broke out in a rash of stories about how THREE housemates would be joining the house tonight during the specially extended eviction show.

And right they are, because Channel 4 has confirmed that three housemates are to join the house, throwing the whole thing in to a total spin and possibly breaking up some of the bonds which have grown between housemates - namely Saskia and her crew, and the Kemal/Makosi/Vanessa gang.

Some papers are saying it's two females and one male joining, whilst others are saying it'll be three females - possibly making up for the fact that three have already been evicted, making the mix after tonight's eviction six male and six female...

It's all going to feel like Big Brother has started all over again at this rate!

Are these the three new housemates?
Bizarrely enough, some 3 or so hours before the housemates are even due to enter the house, some photos have been uploaded to Channel 4's Big Brother website, revealing their faces and names... but are they real or just decoys to throw people off the trail?

The names seem a little odd, especially Orlaith and Kinga, although it's highly possible that they're real (who else do you know called names like Science, Makosi or Kemal to name just a few...?!) and Big Brother is well known for having 'different' people as the housemates, so it's fully possible we're looking at the three new additions to the house!

The Eye will have more later tonight...
