Big Brother's Marc's shock after he is told he has NOT been evicted but will be going into the Timebomb Bunker with Brian Belo, Nikki Grahame and Helen Wood

Friday nights' big eviction ended in shock and joy for Marc O'Neill after he was evicted from Big Brother only to find out he had been the victim of a fake vote.

The Irish scientist/stripper believed that he had been kicked out of the house, but instead was told that he had been voted to go into the Timebomb Bunker.

As revealed to viewers at the start of the show, Big Brother legends Brian Belo, Nikki Grahame and last year's winner Helen Wood returned for Time Warp Week, joining Marc in the bunker.

This week's nominees for eviction were Marc, personal trainer Sam and self-declared Mr. Showbiz Simon, and all three were met by the crowd's boos when their names were read out.

However, the public were well aware that they were not voting to send someone home, but to put them in the Timebomb Bunker.

After Marc was given the news that he had been 'fake evicted', he was understandably ecstatic, telling the crowd he loved them as he headed to the bunker.

Once safely locked up, host Emma Willis welcomed the three Legendary Housemates set to join him. 

Brian kicked off his comeback by proclaiming himself the 'original Essex boy of reality TV' before falling off his chair and claiming to create the term 'Bantersaurus'.

Last year's winner Helen announced she was going in to create mayhem, admitting that she can be 'leery and swear a lot.'

After acknowledging that she created the most arguments during series 14, she added that she did not regret it 'one f***ing bit'.

Unlike Brian, Helen was met with a loud crowd of boos, as she walked in wearing an unusual white suit.

The white peplum jacket featured a plunging cleavage and an open lace-up back. 

Meanwhile, Marc was getting used to his new surroundings in the bunker as the pair walked in, with Helen and Brian explaining to Marc how they can spy on the housemates.

Outside of the bunker, Emma announced Nikki's return to Big Brother, and although the 33-year-old claimed to have changed in the ten years since her first stint in the house, there was little evidence of it.

Nikki, who famously coined the Big Brother diary room phrase 'Who IS she?!', announced that she would like 20-year-old housemate Christian to give her a footmassage, adding that she does like a younger man.

She then made it clear that she was not a fan of Harry or Danny, before walking out onto the stage wearing a knee-length embellished dress in pink and silver.

The petite star was welcomed by cheers from the crowd before telling Emma that she is hoping to become Christian's 'Caroline Flack' - a nod at the 34-year-old Love Island presenter's affair with the then 17-year-old Harry Styles.

Marc, Brian and Helen, were shocked to see Nikki walk in, with Helen shouting 'Oh my god!' before the group all hugged each other.

Marc and the three 'Legendary Housemates' were then given their mission by Big Brother, that they are in charge of nominations for Time Warp Week. 

However, their stay in the Timebomb Bunker will be short lived as all four of them will dramatically enter the main house during the LIVE Big Brother Time Warp Week launch programme on Sunday at 9pm on Channel 5. 

For the duration of Time Warp Week, Brian, Nikki and Helen will live in the House with this year’s remaining Housemates until the next ‘real’ eviction which takes place next Friday.

Earlier in the day, the Big Brother house drama was mainly centered around Harry Amelia and Nick Henderson in the wake of the former admitting that she had a relationship outside the house. 

Despite this revelation, Nick and Harry are growing closer, with their public displays of affection clearly annoys some of the other housemates.

As Harry and Nick cuddle in the pool, Marc was heard complaining about the pair out of earshot.

Speaking to fellow housemate Danny, the Irish stud said how he hated 'loud fake laughs and PDA', making no mistake who he was talking about.

It soon became clear that Marc's feelings were reciprocated as Harry told Big Brother that she wanted him to be the next to leave.

Speaking in the diary room, the 'professional dominatrix' and glamour model said: 'Ideally I'd like Marc to go, it would make my my time here more enjoyable.

'People find Marc annoying but they seem to excuse his behaviour because "that's how he is".'

Her love interest Nick later found himself defending the pair's closeness, particularly as he had previously gotten close to Jade. 

'Me and Jade are very much brother and sister, and with Harry it is a sexual connection,' he told the other male housemates, who warned him that they think Harry is playing a game with him.

During a visit to the diary room, the 19-year-old confessed that he is worried about his future with Harry in the house.

'I don't want to look like a sleazy guy, and also I don't want to look stupid, but it just naturally unfolds with Harry -  and we have got have chemistry -but I don't know. I wish it never started. 

Referring to his earlier conversation with the boys, he added: 'At the end of the day, if she's not being genuine, that's fine, and if she is using me as a game, but then again I don't want to go against what my friends are saying.

'My heart is now confused.'
