FORMER friends Dale and Luke have been nominated for eviction this week, it has just emerged.

FORMER friends Dale and Luke have been nominated for eviction this week, it has just emerged.

The pair will battle in the public vote in the biggest clash of the series so far - Luke was listed as second favourite to win the show earlier this week, while Dale is facing eviction for the first time.

Luke was once extremely popular in the house because of his quick humour and likeable nature, but lately has descended into back-stabbing and a constant stream of behind-the-back moans about his fellow contestants.

His mood has worsened since his blossoming relationship with Bex was cut short when she was evicted last Friday.

Meanwhile Dale, who is sure to have an army of female fans, has got his wish - he revealed last week that he was going to be nasty in a bid to get nominated, claiming he did not want to go through the show without facing eviction.

It seems the clash is too close to call, but Luke may start as favourite to get the boot because of his recent non-stop moaning.
