In a shocking twist, three housemates were evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house last as part of Triple Tuesday. As well as watching the three celebrities leave the house, last night viewers watched the latest clips from inside the house where the housemates were given a secret task in which they had to trick American pop star, JoJo Siwa into failing a UK citizenship test on the show.

The popular series will air its final episode of this season on Friday, April 25 with the season final. Six contestants remain inside the CBB house as Angellica Bell, Patsy Palmer and Ella Rae Wise were evicted on the live episode on Tuesday, April 22. The six finalists include, Danny Beard, JoJo Siwa, Chris Hughes, Donna Preston, Chesney Hawkes and Jack P. Shepard.

Big Brother said to her: "Your mission is to learn as much about British culture and traditions from the other housemates so you can pass your test. JoJo you must keep this test a secret."

Meanwhile, the other celebrities receive instructions from Big Brother stating: "Housemates, JoJo is currently in the Diary Room where she has been informed she is taking part in a secret task to pass Big Brother's British citizenship test.

"As a group, your covert mission is to ensure she fails her test by feeding her misinformation about all things British."

Throughout the day, housemates feed JoJo facts about British culture - all of which are false - including one about Welsh Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Sat around the sofas JoJo asks the group who the most iconic royal is and Danny firmly joked that it was the Mumbles-born star, Catherine Zeta Jones. While she may be Welsh acting royalty the Wednesday star has no connection to the royal family.)

Danny said: "Catherine Zeta Jones. (She's) the number one royal other than Diana. Wherever she went people would be on the street shouting 'Catherine!'"


Donna promptly added: "It's because she did what she wanted to do. She had this gorgeous black hair."

JoJo, believing the group, asks: "Who did she marry into?" Angellica, slipping up replies with the name of Catherine's real husband, Michael Douglas.

Trying to keep the lie going, Patsy shouts 'not her', trying to keep JoJo from figuring out who the real Catherine Zeta Jones is.


Later on in the day when JoJo is called back to the diary room she is asked to relay the facts that she has learned about Britain, where she mentions the 'iconic royal' Catherine Zeta Jones.

Completely believing her housemates, JoJo tells Big Brother: "There was this diva, Catherine (Zeta) Jones, she was the first one that married into the royal family and did things a little differently."

Successfully making JoJo fail her Big Brother's British citizenship test, the celebrities were awarded a traditional British garden party where they ate British food and listened to classic British hits.
