Ron Atkinson

Ron Atkinson has been nominated for eviction on 'Celebrity Big Brother'.

The former football manager - who had a spell in charge of Manchester United from 1981 until 1986 - thought he was chosen by the public, but he was actually selected by secret housemates Louie Spence, Lauren Harries and Sophie Anderton.

The trio were picked to form the Cult of Celebrity and have been given the power to choose the first three stars to face the public vote for eviction on Wednesday (28.08.13).

Dance expert Louis named Ron as his choice to be kicked off the Channel 5 reality show and admitted he wouldn't have anything in common with the football pundit.

He said: "I don't know much about football," he said. "Well, I know a few [footballers] I fancy, but I don't think that will go down too well with him."

Also on the Cult of Celebrity's shortlist were 'Loose Women' panellist Carol McGiffin and Courtney Stodden, who shot to fame when she wed 53-year-old 'Green Mile' actor Doug Hutchison at the age of just 16.
