CBB bosses forced to deny show is fixed after eviction results were revealed early
Bosses have denied the claims
Celebrity Big Brother bosses have been forced to deny the show is fixed after a source claimed the votes for the latest eviction were revealed 12 hours early.
On Friday night’s show, viewers watched on as Lewis Bloor and James Whale became the fifth and sixth housemates to be evicted from the current series, and now friends of the pair have claimed they were told hours before the voting lines closed.
According to a national newspaper, Lewis and James ‘were so far behind at 10am that there was no chance of them being saved’, leaving concerns that many viewers could have been scammed.

However despite the recent rumours, a Big Brother spokesperson has now denied the claims, admitting the final result ‘is never known, nor disclosed’.
They said “Our voting information is tightly guarded, known only by a very small number of people. The final result is never known, nor disclosed until after voting closes. James Whale’s agent has made it 100% clear that he did not have any voting information but made comments based solely on the mood and tone of Whale’s following on Twitter.’
This isn’t the first time bosses have been accused of ‘fixing’ the popular reality show.
Earlier in the series, the show was accused of attempting to cover up Christopher Biggins’ controversial removal.
The former I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here winner was removed from the CBB house after he made “comments capable of causing great offence to housemates and the viewing public” making reference to both AIDS and Nazi’s in separate situations.

After bosses decided to not air the scenes, Channel 5 were accused of trying to fix the show so Biggins could win.
After an extremely controversial series, the show is set to come to an end later in the week when the final takes place on Friday 26th August.
