Who is Zeze Millz? TV personality leaves Celebrity Big Brother

Celebrity Big Brother returned to screens earlier this month with a star-studded line-up, and has proven to be a hit amongst viewers.

The Big Brother spin-off has seen a host of famous faces enter the house, where they participate in weekly challenges and nominations while being filmed.

The launch episode attracted the biggest audience in over a decade, with 3.8m viewers across all devices, 7-day consolidated figures show. It attracted 0.8million 16-34-year-old TV viewers and, so far, Celebrity Big Brother has been streamed over 7 million times on ITVX.

Now, there are just two days left to go until the final. 

Former X Factor panellists Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh were the first to enter and they watched the other celebrities join from behind a screen as part of a “secret mission”, and Sharon Osbourne was named "secret lodger".

Last night (Tuesday, 19 March), Marisha Wallace and Zeze Millz became the latest A-listers to leave the Celebrity Big Brother house in a double-eviction. Zeze had previously found herself possibly facing the public vote, but was saved by celebrity lodger Sharon Osbourne.

When deciding who to save from potential eviction, Sharon said: “I think Zeze is fiery but quite vulnerable – I think a lot of it is for show. She reminds me of somebody I love.”

But last night, her journey on the show came to an end.  Speaking after she was evicted, Zeze spoke about not seeing “eye-to-eye” with former X Factor judge Louis. "My frenemy for life!", she said to hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best. 

Asked whether she would miss him, she replied: “A little bit, yeah! I will miss him, for sure!”
