For the first time in Big Brother history the housemates have been told they can discuss nominations.

The Channel 4 reality show has always been strict about discussing nominations, regularly punishing contestants if the rule was broken.

However, Big Brother gathered the remaining 9 housemates in the living room and announced that they were now aloud to discuss nominations "past, present and future".

All housemates descended into a big discussion of who had nominated who prior to this week's nomination process.

Following the announcement, Lisa said to Bea: "You nominated me [last week], Bea?"

Bea confirmed that she had nominated Lisa to face the public eviction vote, to which Lisa replied: "I nominated you too, because I knew you'd nominate me."

Brazilian housemate Rodrigo was the only one who refused to reveal his past nominations.
