The Irish housemate was told she would not be evicted from the house during the next live show
Big Brother housemate Ashleigh Coyle is immune from nomination after the viewing public decided she should not face eviction during the next live show.
Series host Emma Willis announced on Friday that the viewers were being given the power to decide who should be safe from their fellow housemates' nominations.
Viewers voted via a poll on the Big Brother app and the results were announced on Sunday.
Speaking to the house, Big Brother said: "The power has returned. However, this week, housemates will not wield the power as the public have the power. They will be making decisions that will impact the house.

"Big Brother can now reveal the first big decision. Today, housemates, you will all nominate, but ahead of this the public have voted to protect one of you from these nominations. The public have decided to grant immunity to Ashleigh.
"To clarify, Ashleigh cannot be nominated by any of you this week. Helen's pass to the final means that she too cannot be nominated. The power wielded by the public will continue to impact all of you throughout the week. Housemates, get ready to feel the full force of people power."
Ashleigh looked delighted at the news, saying: "That's so nice! Youse all better rethink your second and first nominations now."

Nominations began immediately after the announcement.
On Friday, entrepreneur Steven Goode was evicted from the house and was met with loud boos from the crowd outside.
He was the ninth person to be given the boot from the show and became known for his relationship with fellow contestant Kimberley Kisselovich while on the programme.
During his eviction interview, the 23-year-old told Emma: "I didn't expect to fall in love with somebody on the show. Everything I did was real."
