CBB fans slam David Potts after he gives bizarre reason for nominating Levi Roots as Dragon’s Den star burst into tears
CELEBRITY Big Brother fans were left puzzled by David Potts and his bizarre reason for nominating Levi Roots.
The first nominations of the series kicked off and despite being just three days into the house action, tension had already begun to simmer to new heights.
It was Ibiza Weekender head rep David who caused the most chatter after choosing to vote Dragons' Den star Levi out of the house for a very unusual reason.
The reality TV star opted to nominated the Reggae Reggae Sauce founder after feeling "watched" as he made breakfast for the group.
It led to David confirming that he had nominated him after being left concerned over the state of the breakfast beans.
He then added: "I think he thought I was going to ruin the beans for him!"

Fans were quick to call out David for his reasoning as one said: "David nominating Levi over beans... oh how I love Big Brother."
Before someone else added a slew of crying emojis to say: "David nominating Levi for watching him while cooking is so [cry face]."
Unaware he had just been nominated, Levi then re-paid the favour as he voted to axe the reality star as well after feeling as though they had not made a solid connection.
He was later left in tears after feeling as though David had "not let me in" when trying to find a common ground.
Having revealed he thought that David chose to spend time with certain people that wasn't himself, Levi appeared visibly upset.
As Big Brother confirmed his nominations, they told Levi he was allowed to return the house.
He then said: "Do you mind if I just sit here for a moment?"
It then saw him break down into tears as he sobbed over having to make the tough decision.
When he made it back to the living room his co-stars could tell he was rattled as they tried to re-assure him that it was just the process.
David told him that no one would take it "personally" as Levi seemed more tearful.
It came just moments after Fern Britton exposed a 'secret feud' between the pair.
Having enjoyed a group breakfast cooked by David Potts and Bradley Riches, the house appeared to be in harmony.
However, Fern soon revealed that she had noticed that one housemate appeared to be unhappy.
The TV presenter told Big Brother that chef and Dragons' Den star Levi Roots was getting 'agitated' and "tetchy" with David and Bradley for 'taking over' the breakfast.
Fern revealed that Levi was rattled that the 'younger' ones had taken up residence in the kitchen to cook up the beans for everyone.

She said: "Levi is getting hilariously scratchy and a bit tetchy as the kids are taking over cooking breakfast.
"He does like to be chef!"
