Big Brother has reversed its decision and will now inform Marisha Wallace of her Olivier Award nomination.
It was reported earlier this week that the Guys & Dolls star would not find out about her Olivier Award nomination until after she leaves the Big Brother house, which could be up to nine days from now.
The series has since reversed the decision and Wallace will now find out about the award on tonight's episode. Wallace was reportedly overcome with emotion while learning of the honor, the Daily Mail reports.
Before the show's dramatic eviction nominations, the house's garden was transformed into a funfair, complete with a wheel of fortune machine. When Wallace spins the board, it reveals: "There are exciting things ahead, on Sunday 14th April, you will be sitting at the Olivier Awards as a nominee."
Tonight's episode of Celebrity Big Brother will air on ITV1 at 9:00 pm GMT. Check out the full list of Olivier Award nominations here.
Marisha won't have to wait any longer!
