Celebrity Big Brother returned to TV screens earlier this week as an eclectic bunch of famous faces headed into the house to take part in the ultimate social experiment.

One of those celebrities was Michael Fabricant, who is one of three housemates facing the public vote in tonight's (11th April) live eviction. He, alongside Jack P Shepherd and Mickey Rourke, are all at risk of being evicted after receiving the most votes from their fellow housemates, as well as a killer nomination for Mickey.

As ever, the decision as to whether Michael goes or stays in the Big Brother house is down to the public, with the vote open until tonight's live show begins on ITV1.

But just who is Michael Fabricant? Scroll down to learn more about him in what could be his last day in the Big Brother house.
