Natasha Giggs evicted from Celebrity Big Brother
Natasha Giggs has become the latest housemate to get the boot from Celebrity Big Brother 2012, following the second public vote of the series. The 28-year-old found herself up for eviction against Nicola McLean after Georgia Salpa - who survived Wednesday night's eviction - had nominated them both for Friday's vote. And although Nicola had been the bookies' favourite to leave, ultimately it was Natasha who lost out - and had to face a crowd who booed whenever Brian Dowling announced her name. However she said afterwards she was 'feeling fine' and added, "I have 100 per cent been myself and if people don't like it, then that is me." She also praised fellow nominee Nicola McLean, despite their very public Twitter row in which the model suggested Natasha would be "making money from ruining peoples' lives" if she went into the house "She's a great girl, she really is a great girl," Natasha said. "I was so nervous about going in, because obviously we had a little bit of a thing, but she came straight up to me, and we squared it out and we were fine." And she was also quick to downplay any hint of romance with TOWIE's Kirk Norcross, despite their close relationship in the house. "He is the biggest flirt ever," she admitted, "and you cannot help but flirt back." Natasha's departure comes just two days after Andrew Stone became the first celebrity housemate to be evicted.
