Two celebrities face eviction from the Big Brother house just two days before the show finale.

The public has already started voting for who should win the show on Friday, and the latest evictees will have the lowest votes so far.

Sky Bet has Tommy Sheridan and Ben Adams as 5/2 favourites to be evicted, and Verne Troyer as 1/3 favourite to win outright.

To mark one of the most momentous days in US political history, the Celebrity Big Brother housemates were shown the inauguration of incoming US president Barack Obama, and were set an American-themed shopping task.

The task included four aspects - Ben and La Toya Jackson were set the "rodeo challenge" - learning to ride the bucking bronco.

Firebrand politician Tommy was told to try his hand at baseball and hit balls pitched into the garden by Big Brother.

Terry Christian and Ulrika Jonsson were ordered to take part in a pie-eating contest, and Coolio and Verne were asked to become bikers and complete a "Route 66" road trip.

The evictions will be screened live on Channel 4 at 8pm and 10pm.
