Earlier this week** Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side **presenter Rylan Clark-Neal revealed there would be a nominations twist, resulting in the voting lines not being opened until later today (Thursday).

Now MORE details of the 'nominations twist' have been revealed!

In last night's** Celebrity Big Brother** housemates were told they would have a number of driving challenges, "The team with the most points at the end of the task will win the power of the house. But that is not all." Big Brother told them.

"Housemates as you are aware Ann, Rachel, Daniel, Andrew and John are up for eviction this week, but the winners of the task will get the power to save one of these housemates and replace them with any other housemate of their choice."

Therefore, housemates will have to work as pairs to find out who are the best drivers. Then the winning pair will be able to save one of the housemates, in place of another!

The housemates reacted with a gasp as they were told that the winning pair would be given all of the power.

Take a look at the Celebrity Big Brother housemates below:

After leaving the house, India confirmed to TV presenter Emma Willis, that she had a game plan saying, "I was psyched up to mix it a little bit. Maybe have some confrontations; just stir things up, cause a little bit of trouble. But it’s not that sort of house.”

In other** Celebrity Big Brother** news some eagle-eyed viewers noticed that there are some 'secret areas'. Puzzled by what he had noticed one Twitter user decided to ask fans of the show on Twitter what it was for.

The tweet shows an unexplained garden area and some kind of studio connected to the smoking area. Another user suggested it could be from a previous series, but the mystery continues!
