The punishment is for discussing nominations and voting strategies last week, despite being warned on several occasions not to.

Later today, the housemates will as usual be called into the diary room in alphabetical order to give their nominations. However, when it comes to Jason's turn he will be told that his right to nominate has been suspended for the week. He will be told that it is up to him as to whether he discusses this with the other housemates. Victor will receive the same news when he goes to the diary room.

The news came as transsexual Nadia, who was initially the bookies' favourite to be evicted last week, has seen her chances soar to 3/1 to win the ever-dwindling Big Brother prize, according to bookmaker Ladbrokes.

Odds-on favourite to win the show is still gay hairdresser Dan at 2/1, with 20-year-old student Stuart matching Nadia's 3/1 odds.

Bodybuilder Jason, who was described as "the bitchiest person in the house" by the Big Brother psychologist last night, has been ranked outsider at 66/1. Somalian Ahmed, who seems on the verge of cracking up, is close second at 40/1, while hippy Shell, who was an early favourite to win at the beginning of the series, has now seen her odds slashed from 3/1 to 6/1. Geordie "chicken" Michelle is 8/1 and Victor is 16/1 to win.

The sudden turnaround for Nadia came after Ladbrokes had her as favourite to be evicted with 1/3 and Marco least favourite to go with 5/1 last Friday. After a staggering number of punters put their money on Marco and Michelle to be evicted, Ladbrokes had to change its odds to 4/1 for Nadia.

The punters were right in this instance, with Nadia getting the least amount of public votes and Marco getting his eviction interview with Davina earlier than he expected.

In the house yesterday, the jungle cats [Jason and Victor] have been making allowances for new girl Becki, with Jason suggesting they let her into the fold: "I think she's a genuine girl. I felt a bit bad after that bitching session [about her] with Marco," he admitted. Victor coolly replied: "Hmmm."

Other developments in the house include the girls playing tricks on Victor by hiding their underwear in his drawers to make him look perverted and Ahmed and Becki getting friendly as the conversation turned to relationships and "kinky sex".

"Stick me on a desert island for a year and I would fall in love with you," Becki said.

Ahmed goes on to talk about what he likes women to dress in, Becki gets bored and suddenly asks: "Have you ever been whipped, Ahmed? Do you want to bend over?"

Ahmed admitted he had never had the pleasure while Becki urged him to try it. Ahmed offered to turn the tables and whip Becki and gave her three firm strokes on her proffered bum as she made encouraging noises. "I like to be more sadist than masochist," he told her.

The next round of nominations are due to be made tomorrow.
