Big Brother

Big Brother 2024 winner returned to our screens and admitted some of the current series was ‘uncomfortable’

One of Big Brother’s former winners has shared they hope one housemate is ‘OK’ after some ‘difficult to watch’ scenes this series. It comes as the latest edition of the ITV reality series approaches its final week.

The most recent episode set to air on Friday (October 30) will see a double eviction to mark the Halloween special. Ahead of that, companion show Big Brother The Group Chat welcomed ex-housemate and previous winner Ali Bromley to talk about the current series.

Ali was victorious during the 2024 series even though she later admitted she nearly quit the show part way through. She was joined by hosts GK Barry and Kate Lawler as the forensic psychologist was asked about her opinions on the current crop of housemates.

The conversation progressed through most of the contestants as Ali predicted Philip and Rhianna the next to go.

She also called the self professed Queen of Scottie Road from Liverpool as ‘the most relatable’ after he was spotted eating snacks in bed.

Ali commented: “We’ve all been there with our chocolate bars, hoping for better days.” Later though, GK Barry turned their attention to Frankie.

She said: “Frankie has been coming out (as bisexual) slowly but surely. He told Catrin tonight. Which I think Catrin already knew.” Kate asked Ali what she thought of the matter, after recent scenes showed Frankie reveal he had hatred towards himself and felt ashamed regarding his sexuality.

Ali replied: “I think you can see it in the way he talks about bisexuality. I think, as a viewer, that’s been difficult to watch at times. Because if you are gay and you’ve been through the process of coming out and you have those feelings yourself and you’ve worked through those feelings yourself and you’ve worked through them, seeing somebody else still holding some of that hostility can feel a bit uncomfortable.”

She continued: “So I feel like that’s been a bit tricky to watch sometimes, and these moments where he’s been coming out have felt a bit raw and probably bring something up for people that are watching as well.

“I hope he’s OK. I’m not sure what he hopes to achieve by coming out in these dribs and drabs throughout the series.”

GK suggested he could be ‘getting used to’ coming out. Ali responded: “A real baptism of fire. If feel like if you’re not fully there in your self acceptance like wow, that’s like a hard, hard journey.”

Tiffany Pollard has entered the Big Brother house as a special guest

TV star Tiffany Pollard has re-entered the Big Brother house and things have already become explosive.

Just last night (October 28), the Big Brother house welcomed a familiar face and it wasn’t long before things erupted into chaos. During a Halloween party, Tiffany arrived as a special guest, with her welcome coming as a huge surprise to the housemates.

Her arrival comes after celebrity guests Jedward caused drama and Gemma Collins also had her say. But last night, tensions reached boiling point when an exclusive row broke out.

Despite a warm reception, Tiffany said: “This f***** house is absurd. I’m literally honoured to be seated at this table.” However, things turn sour when Tiffany offended Philip who confronted the special guest.

He said: “I’m very upset with what you said Tiffany, to be honest with you.” But with Tiffany’s presence causing rising tensions in tonight’s episode (October 29), here’s everything you need to know about Tiffany Pollard.

How old is Tiffany Pollard and where is she from?

Tiffany Pollard is 44 years old and is an American TV personality from New York.

Tiffany Pollard’s rise to fame and Big Brother stint

Tiffany Pollard is known to UK residents from her stint on Celebrity Big Brother. But she rose to fame before that. In 2006 the star appeared on Flavor of Love, a reality dating show where she became known as ‘New York’.

She made her mark as her unforgettable one liners and bold personality caught the attention of viewers, making it to the final in seasons one and two.

Tiffany also secured her own solo dating show I Love New York. She then expanded her television footprint with New York Goes to Hollywood in 2008 and New York Goes to Work the following year in 2009.

In 2016, Tiffany entered the Celebrity Big Brother house, not shying away from sharing her opinions as she became considered one of the most iconic runs in reality television history.

One iconic moment is the “David’s dead” misunderstanding when housemate Angie Bowie was informed off camera that her ex husband and music legend David Bowie had died.

Confiding in Tiffany, she instantly panicked thinking Angie had meant fellow housemate David Gest as she burst into tears and ran to tell the rest of the housemates. She was eventually told it was the “wrong David”.

Her explosive love-hate relationship with Gemma Collins has also provided endless entertainment. Known as the Queen of reality TV, Tiffany also competed on House of Villains which brings together the most iconic and infamous ‘TV villains’ who aim to out smart one another to be titled America’s Ultimate Supervillain.

TO some, Tiffany Pollard is the ultimate reality queen, gracing Celebrity Big Brother and many other shows with her own explosive brand of drama.

But it is less well-known that she is now a recording artist as well, thanks to a cheeky sample on Zara Larsson‘s track Hot & Sexy.

Tiff — who dubs herself the Head Bitch In Charge, or HBIC — speaks the refrain “beautiful, fly, hot and sexy” on the pop princess’s empowering song.

Speaking for the first time about the collab, Tiffany said: “Zara is multi- talented, and for her to come for the HBIC to honour a track blows my mind.

“I was in that studio. It was like I was Beethoven because I wanted to get it right and iconic just for her.

“I was dedicated to the piece and a lot of people dance to it, so we’re happy.”

The track from Zara’s multi-platinum album Midnight Sun was even played during last week’s Victoria’s Secret catwalk.

But we’re not going to see Tiff on tour with Zara any time soon.

She revealed: “I don’t want to crush dreams or anything like that, but our girl is going to handle it. I’m not gonna be on tour — I got bad knees, honey.”

Tiffany’s back on the reality beat as she begins a stint on ITV’s Celebrity Big Brother — a decade on from her career-defining appearance.

Fans will remember her spats with Gemma Collins and the “David’s dead” misunderstanding when housemate Angie Bowie was told her ex-husband had died, but Tiffany thought it was David Gest who had passed away — until others found him asleep in bed.

Today Tiffany heads into a divided house, with the self-proclaimed “hierarchy” of Rochelle Rackham and Philip Regan facing accusations of bullying — but she is ready to take them on.

The outspoken American said: “It’s Halloween week and I’m gonna put the whore in horror.

“I’m gonna listen to people, I’m gonna have an authentic experience but I don’t want to be on my best behaviour.

“It’s called the hierarchy? The king and the queen of the house? Oh, please. It’s time for me to knock down the bricks.

“I only go around this life one good time and I want to make sure I’m living it authentically.

“I don’t want to quiet a voice of something that should have been said.

“I have a lot of people who are betting on me to be real and to just say what it is.”

Tiffany will also make time while staying in the UK for some of her favourite British pastimes — including watching Towie, Hollyoaks and tucking into our good old fish and chips.

Just hours before heading on to Big Brother, she said: “Bring all that vinegar. People are so nice here.”

We’ll see if she feels the same following her stint in the spy-on-the-wall house.

Another celebrity guest will enter the Big Brother house this week

Big Brother fans are calling for a huge twist that could spark carnage in the famous house.

ITV has finally confirmed that American reality star Tiffany Pollard will be entering the show this week, 10 years after her iconic appearance on Celebrity Big Brother. She is the latest famous face to join this year’s civilian series as part of Big Brother string of twists.

Viewers already saw Jedward and Gemma Collins step back into the social experiment, with Jedward causing quite the stir during their stint and fans are expecting Tiffany, 44, to also be at the centre of drama.

However, viewers are calling for another shake-up that could make Tiffany’s time on the show even more entertaining. Fans have gathered online to beg show bosses to bring fellow American housemate Johanne back into the house at the same time as Tiffany. Viewers seem to think the duo would bring even more “drama” to the season.

Taking to social media, one fan begged: “Please can we get Johanne back in there,” another agreed: “Send Johanne back in pleaseeeeeee.”

A third shared the same opinion: “Put Johanne back in that house for a day or two.” Even 2025 housemate Cameron Kinch joined the discussion, commenting: “I wish Joanne was still there, her and Tiffany would be phenomenal!”

Someone else replied: “absolutely! Why BB hasn’t thought this up I do not know. Perhaps they don’t want to cause too much of drama!”

Yet another viewer chimed in: “Tiffany coming in now is such a waste. Imagine the carnage if she went in while Johanne and Pauline were still there #BBUK.” And a final person added: “TIFFANY POLLARD IN THE HOUSE WITHOUT JOHANNE IS DAYLIGHT ROBBERY!!!! #BBUK.”

It’s unclear how long Tiffany will be staying in the house but past guests have spent just a few nights on the show.

DAISY Edgar-Jones left fans stunned after she revealed it was her dad that created iconic TV show Big Brother.

The Where The Crawdads Sing and Normal People actress even told how she’d perched on the spy house’s Diary Room chair during her youth as she accompanied father Philip, 60, to work.

The Brit, 28, who has now been dubbed a “nepo-baby”, opened up on her famous parent on the Open Book with Jenna podcast – and even let slip his words of wisdom.

Daisy, whose mother is a drama teacher, said: “My dad used to run this TV show Big Brother.

“Which, you know it, it was obviously a massive TV show when I was younger.

“And there’s loads of pictures from me aged probably like six or seven up until a little older, sitting on the Diary Room chair.

DRIVING ME DAISY

Daisy Edgar-Jones stuns in plunging gown for Sense & Sensibility premiere

“Obviously I was too young to watch the show, I wasn’t allowed to.

“But in that show, individuals would come in anonymous and leave very very famous, so I suppose when Normal People came out he [her dad] sat me down and he was like – he couldn’t because it was Covid – but he told me on the phone and essentially said ‘there might be some things that shift for you’.

“And here’s just some words of wisdom that I learned which is that you might not change but the world around you might and the way people interact with you might”.

Daisy continued: “And so remembering that you haven’t changed, you are what you are and you are the same person – and who you were pre all of this – is very important.

“To keep your feet on the floor and know that you’re an individual amongst lots of people with their own stuff going on and inner lives.

“It’s really important to keep your, I suppose, feet really planted on the floor.

“And I’m really grateful for that because, yeah, he just gave me loads of words of wisdom.

She has previously admitted her dad Philip, who is the director of Sky Arts, gave her the same talk of “doom” which he gave Big Brother contestants.

One fan was quick to comment: “Oh my god not another Nepo. Jesus Christ and I really loved her for years”.

A second put: “I definitely think it does make her a nepo as her father clearly would have had industry connections and was able to give her starting opportunities in film and TV, and I assume he was also able to afford to provide her with financial support to get her where she is now.

“Although I must say I do still love her acting and I think she is talented, it just is disappointing to find out as it’s so clear that working class actors without industry connections are just increasingly missing out on work/opportunities because of these nepos”.

Another defended Daisy and put: “It doesn’t make her a nepo baby not like her dad gave her work throughout her life to get where she is now”.

Back in 2024, Daisy was hailed as “the next Julia Roberts” due to the “striking” way she bagged film roles.

Her BBC show Normal People was one of the biggest global hits of 2020, attracting 62.7 million views on iPlayer alone.

It was a role that would also net Daisy her first Golden Globe nomination.

She had an open audition for a part in Cold Feet and the TV series first put her on the map and also got her an agent.

“Cold Feet was a good place to start, because I had a small part so I could learn the scary things like walking in and not being self-conscious,” she said.

Bagging more roles in productions, including a special of BBC’s Outnumbered and two episodes of Silent Witness, prompted her to take a year off before university.

She worked in a cafe near her home before rocketing back into the spotlight.

Big Brother fans were floored by what one housemate said as they gave their honest opinion

Some Big Brother viewers were left stunned over one star’s comments.

Fans of ITV’s reality series are furious after one housemate was asked for their honest opinion of a fellow contestant. Their comment has been branded as ‘insane’.

Tonight’s episode (October 25) saw the aftermath of Harry’s eviction on Friday. It also saw the house be rattled not just by the result but by what they believe they heard shouted and cheered by the crowd who attended the live show.

The next day, the group were gathered on the sofas for the latest task. Big Brother told them: “Housemates, after six weeks together, you could say you’ve become family. A big, dysfunctional family. To help put the ‘fun’ back in dysfunctional, today, Big Brother will be running family therapy sessions. If you complete the therapy sessions to Big Brother’s satisfaction, you will receive a special reward.”

Later, the housemates were called once again for the final part of the challenge, which was called Honesty Therapy. Each housemate was forced to pick two others. Their first pick must then give their brutally honest opinion about the other.

While previous scenes during the episode saw some housemates rebuild their relationships, including Rochelle and Twinks, Twinks and Omar, Omar and Rhianna and Yasmin and Sam, the task threatened to ruin it all.

Sam went first and said: I think one person here is very right to the point and that would be Philip. So Philip, I’d like to hear your honest opinion about Yasmin.”

Twinks commented: “This is savage, isn’t it.” Philip then stood up and partially tongue in cheek commented: “Well Yasmin, you get on my nerves sometimes, girl…I’m up to here with you. You’re always trying to fix people’s problems, fix your f****** own before anyone else’s and stop getting in people’s business, bone collecting.”

However, Rochelle was asked to give her view on Catrin. Rochelle quipped: “You’re a pig.” Even some housemates were taken aback as Philip muttered: “You can’t say that.”

Rochelle tried to expand on her comments and explained: “Sometimes you’re greedy with the chocolates. Just the sweets.”

Catrin did not seem sure how to respond but she was then asked to share her view on Rochelle in turn. She said: “Sometimes I can’t finish my sentence. Maybe don’t cut across people. Sometimes it’d be nice to compliment people rather than say the worst things.”

Fans watching along at home were taken aback by Rochelle’s comments. They were furious that she would say such a thing and one person posted on social media: “Rochelle calling Cat a pig was out of order especially in front of everybody.”

Another added: “How can Rochelle actually look Catrin in the face & say ‘You’re a pig’? So rude. Doesn’t she steal all the salt and vinegar crisps every week and stash them in her drawer.”

Someone else commented: “Rochelle just went on Cat and called her a pig. Those tears can stay where they were.”

While one person replied: “Calling someone a pig is so outrageous!” One fan put forward: “You’re a pig is actually insane actually but am I shocked, no! It’s Rochelle we are talking about.”

Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Omar has come under fire this week with Big Brother fans after they previously hit out at uncomfortable scenes

A Big Brother housemate has been issued a warning after fans slammed their recent behaviour.

Omar has come under fire with fans lately regarding his negative comments and behaviour towards Rhianna. The two have been growing closer since the start of the show, also admitting their love for one another.

Big Brother previously issued a statement in response to recent calls from a number of fans who called for Omar to be removed from the house. It came after this week saw the two hitting rocky ground with Rihanna describing them like a ‘divorced couple’.

The pair seemed to break off their relationship but at one point Omar went over to her, lowered his head and told her to stop talking about him before leaving the room.

It comes after previous comments from Omar about him not teaching his co-star “how to respect a man”. But amidst the backlash, Big Brother issued Omar with a warning in tonight’s episode (October 21).

Being called to the Diary Room, Big Brother told Omar: “At times it feels you are dismissive about your housemates’ experiences.” They later added that Omar’s language used “on more than one occasion could cause offence to housemates or the fellow public.”

However, Omar hit out at the warning, adding: “I fully understand… I’ve never dismissed housemates feelings in all honesty.” He later said that he didn’t dismiss feelings but rather tell them the truth.

He replied: “Let’s be honest here we’re not talking about housemates, we’re talking about me and Rhianna.” He then continued to say he had done “nothing but look out for her and care for her” before going on to say: “Like I said, I’ve acknowledged my housemates feelings.”

Big Brother replied: “You must always be mindful of the impact your language and behaviour can have on others.”

Later, speaking to Rhianna, Omar said: “Have I ever controlled you in any way, or limited you in any way?” Rhianna said: “I am my own person, no-one can control me. I don’t feel controlled by you.”

Viewers at home expressed their frustrations as one person wrote on X: “Big Brother please boot Omar out, he’s not even giving a f*** about Rhianna’s feelings.”

Another fumed: “This is deeply uncomfortable to watch. Rhianna needs to get far away from Omar as soon as this show’s over.” A third added: “Omar tryna save himself lol, he’s finished.”

It comes after Women’s Aid issued a statement on Instagram, alleging the reality star of displaying controlling behaviour in the house. They wrote: “We’re seeing coercive and controlling behaviours being given a platform in popular media like Big Brother. We’ve been contacted by many viewers who have expressed concern. Not only does Big Brother risk minimising survivors’ experiences, it also risks presenting abuse as a form of entertainment.

“Producers should understand their responsibility to keep contestants emotionally and physically safe. The women in these programmes are real people and need real support. We continue to urge television companies such as ITV to engage with experts like Women’s Aid to understand the nature of abuse and how they can do better to protect contestants.”

However, Big Brother released a statement confirming all housemates “receive Respect and Inclusion training and an extensive briefing from the Big Brother Senior team to prepare them for living in the House and to set out Big Brother’s expectations for appropriate behaviour and language”.

Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Omar’s actions towards Rhianna in the Big Brother house drew over 7,000 Ofcom complaints, with Refuge joining Women’s Aid in releasing a statement.

The fallout from Monday evening’s Big Brother continues after fans were left disgusted with Omar’s behaviour towards Rhianna.

The pair, who have became an item in the famous ITV house, had an altercation and viewers were fuming with the way he spoke to her. He was filmed sternly telling her not to talk about him and saying: “Your feelings aren’t fact unfortunately.”

They appeared to have made up on Tuesday. Nonetheless, more than 7,000 people sent in their complaints to Ofcom and now the charity Refuge has also shared concerns about the show.

A statement for the charity, which supports sufferers of domestic abuse, said: “Refuge is deeply concerned by the behaviours witnessed during the current series of Big Brother. Media outlets have a responsibility to prioritise participant welfare and to ensure that harmful behaviour is identified and addressed appropriately.

“Broadcasters must also actively choose not to amplify individuals displaying abusive behaviour. At a time when one in four women will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime, it is vital that public platforms do not contribute to the normalisation of abusive attitudes or behaviours.

“Every survivor deserves to be heard, believed, and protected – both on television and in their everyday lives. Refuge stands in solidarity with all survivors of domestic abuse and calls for media companies to be held accountable for the safety and wellbeing of contestants.”

The charity concluded: “We call on all broadcasters, producers and media organisations to use their platforms responsibly, placing safety, dignity and accountability at the heart of their decision-making.”

ITV issued a statement of their own following the uneasy scenes. They said: “All Housemates receive Respect and Inclusion training and an extensive briefing from the Big Brother Senior team to prepare them for living in the House and to set out Big Brother’s expectations for appropriate behaviour and language.

“Housemates are monitored 24 hours a day and any instances of inappropriate behaviour are responded to appropriately. Welfare and safeguarding are prioritised throughout the production, with a dedicated welfare team available to support Housemates before, during and after their time in the House.”

Women’s Aid also said on Instagram: “We’re seeing coercive and controlling behaviours being given a platform in popular media like Big Brother. We’ve been contacted by many viewers who have expressed concern. Not only does Big Brother risk minimising survivors’ experiences, it also risks presenting abuse as a form of entertainment.

“Producers should understand their responsibility to keep contestants emotionally and physically safe. The women in these programmes are real people and need real support. We continue to urge television companies such as ITV to engage with experts like Women’s Aid to understand the nature of abuse and how they can do better to protect contestants.”

The issue arose as viewers watched on as an upset Rhianna looked to end the duo’s relationship. She questioned his maturity in conversation and was later called to the Diary Room.

She was asked by Big Brother if she was okay and she told them: “I’m not that good but I’ll be fine. Obviously me and Omar have not been good over the last few days and sometimes I don’t like the way he speaks to me.”

She added: “I wouldn’t let a boy speak to me like that outside of here so why am I letting him speak to me like that… If it keeps going in circles, we can just be friends.”

I’m A Celeb star Dean McCulloch, a regular guest on Big Brother companion shows, said: “Omar needs to be removed from the house with immediate effect.”

Big Brother fans have been unimpressed with one star who just days ago was favourite to win

The Big Brother star was in the running to win the show.

ITV Big Brother fans have admitted that one star has “fumbled” their potential win in a matter of minutes. Tensions continue to run high in the iconic house as the housemates live in this week’s House of Time.

Just last night (October 20), a game changing nominations twist saw four housemates up for eviction. This week will see Catrin, Twinks, Harry and Sam facing the public vote as viewers are being asked to choose who they wish to evict.

It comes after the housemates each took a turn in the Time Zone where they nominated as usual. But with four names in the zone, each housemate afterwards had the opportunity to swap two of those names – with the last person ultimately having the final say.

But amongst the drama, it was Yasmin who came under fire with fans after her nomination choices. As a result, she is now no longer favourite to win, according to latest betting odds.

According to Coral’s John Hill, despite being up for eviction, Twinks is actually the new favourite to win, with odds sitting at 5/4. Yasmin has drifted from 4/5 odds to now 7/4.

John Hill said: “Twinks is the safest of the four housemates, according to our odds. She is also the new favourite to win the show, with Yasmin’s odds drifting over the last couple of days.”

Viewers have shared their disappointment with the star as one person wrote on X: “Yasmin is fumbling this win those cheers got to her head.” Another said: “Yasmin literally took away the win in one episode last night”, as a third fumed that the star had gone “from the people’s princess”, adding: “That is crazy.”

A fourth added: “Even since Yasmin heard the cheers on Friday night she now thinks she is untouchable. Get rid of her.” A fifth raged: “Yasmin really plummeted her own stock, how embarrassing.”

However, one person defended: “Yasmin has one bad episode and people are acting like she murdered someone oh ok.”

Another said: “Yasmin does one thing you deem as wrong and you all turn on her and insult everything about her.”

Of course, betting odds are not guaranteed to happen, the power is still in the public’s hand as they have the power of the vote. But with hours to go until the next live eviction on Friday, one star has been dealt a brutal blow.

Currently, Sam is favourite to go with odds sitting at 4/5 compared to Frankie’s odds at 3/1. Twinks’ odds sit at 8/1. Coral’s John Hill added: “This is the toughest eviction to call so far in the series. Sam is the favourite to go, but Frankie and Catrin are both in danger, especially if Big Brother decides to throw in a double eviction.”

Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX

Big Brother fans were not happy and demanded one housemate be removed

Fans rushed to complain after the latest scenes described as ‘scary to watch’.

Big Brother has been hit with thousands of complaints to Ofcom after what viewers said were ‘disturbing’ scenes. The regulator has once again updated its weekly stats of those received between the dates of October 13 and October 19.

The number of complaints range from just dozens up to thousands. It means that one of the most recent instalments of ITV’s reality series has attracted the most ire from fans throughout the entire run of the current series.

That was following the episode which aired on ITV2 on October 19. This attracted a staggering 7,138 complaints. This is an extraordinary amount even compared to the episode which gained the second most complaints over the last week, which was October 18 which received 658.

Ofcom have confirmed that complaints on October 19 related to Omar’s behaviour towards Rhianna. Meanwhile those on October 18 were over alleged bullying behaviour by Philip.

Scenes involving Omar and Rihanna on Monday this week caused a big stir among viewers. The couple seemed to cool things off with their relationship while Rihanna at one point claimed Omar was ‘acting weird’.

Later Omar told Rihanna to stop talking about him with others. Afterwards, he had his own conversation with Lynx about Rihanna,.

Before bed, he invited Rihanna for a chat, claiming he ‘could not sleep on it’. In the store room Rihanna told him: “From eviction night, up until now I feel like you’ve been acting weird with me.”

She was eventually called to the Diary Room to check if she was OK. She said: “I’m not that good but I’ll be fine. Obviously me and Omar have not been good over the last few days and sometimes I don’t like the way he speaks to me.”

Fans were not pleased with what they saw. A thread on Big Brother UK subreddit saw several admit that they made a complaint to Ofcom.

One person said: “I’ve just put my complaint in. That was so disturbing and scary to watch.” Another added: “I’ve never made an ofcom complaint before but it feels so important to do something… if there’s any chance this can pressure BB production into removing Omar. . . So so dark.”

Women’s Aid released a statement following the backlash and said: “We’re seeing coercive and controlling behaviours being given a platform in popular media like Big Brother. We’ve been contacted by many viewers who have expressed concern. Not only does Big Brother risk minimising survivors’ experiences, it also risks presenting abuse as a form of entertainment.

“Producers should understand their responsibility to keep contestants emotionally and physically safe. The women in these programmes are real people and need real support. We continue to urge television companies such as ITV to engage with experts like Women’s Aid to understand the nature of abuse and how they can do better to protect contestants.”

“Housemates are monitored 24 hours a day and any instances of inappropriate behaviour are responded to appropriately. Welfare and safeguarding are prioritised throughout the production, with a dedicated welfare team available to support Housemates before, during and after their time in the House.”

Big Brother also received 206 complaints over the most recent live eviction show, about the alleged bullying of Rob by Rochelle and Philip. 110 complaints were also made for the episode aired on October 13 over a range of issues including comments made by Rochelle about Yasmin’s weight, Omar’s behaviour towards Yasmin and Rhianna, and Lynx’s behaviour towards Rob.

Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

VIEWERS of Big Brother have been left raging at the results of this week’s nominations as Omar was spared from the public vote.

Fans flocked to X as it was revealed he was safe from Friday’s eviction, after slamming his “controlling” and “coercive” behaviour towards co-star Rhianna.

The episode saw him snapping at Rhianna in front of the rest of the house ahead of nominations, telling them “she’s f**ked me off today!”

He said: “I haven’t made her cry, so don’t walk around saying I’ve made you cry, then I have housemates come up to me saying I’m horrible.

“She’s miserable anyway, she’s immature. Stop being a weirdo, I did not make you cry!”

Rhianna said: “You did make me cry!”

“Zero accountability – maximum immaturity!”

Catrin, Harry, Sam and Twinks will be the next Housemates on the chopping block, with Omar through to next week.

The public slammed the Housemates for not voting for Omar, with one claiming the show’s final will be “a finale of bullies”.

Another fumed: “Big Brother is actually f**king rage baiting me it’s that serious!”

Someone else raged at Rhianna’s decision to vote for Catrin and Twinks, who have had her back amid the Omar drama.

“Rhianna – both of those women supported you when your ‘man’ was treating you like doodoo on public television and you were BAWLIN’ – like… what dimension have these people actually spawned from?!?!”

Another penned: “I have NEVER been so p**sed off with nominations! Rhianna is a SNAKE – oh and get Omar, Phillip and Frankie out! VILE… and yes there is a hierarchy!”

“Another eviction to not put Omar up ugh BB needs to tell Rhianna and Omar that sooner or later they are both going have to vote for each other!” another posted.

This comes after viewers witnessed Omar continuing to argue with Rhianna earlier in the episode, claiming she was crying to make him look bad, insisting he had done nothing wrong.

His behaviour has even been branded “coercive and abusive” by Women’s Aid.

The charity has spoken out following complaints over “worrying” scenes, with spokesman Veronica Oakeshott warning that Big Brother bosses are risking “presenting abuse as a form of entertainment”.

The 21-year-old scolded Rhianna for speaking about their argument to her co-stars before using “red-flag” language including “don’t talk about me”, “don’t cry”, “don’t look away from me”, “sort yourself out” and “fix up”.

Tearful Rhianna had earlier cried to Housemates, telling them: “I can’t have him telling me to f*** off, shut up, you’re sh*t.”

However, later in the show, Rhianna told Omar: “I don’t want to argue with you” and he replied “Well, then, don’t say mad things that you don’t mean. It’s not fair. You need to sort it out, get it together.”

Rhianna then whispered “I’m sorry” and he accepted her apology saying “it’s OK” before they spent the night together in bed.

Veronica told The Sun: “The nature of abuse means that it often begins with ‘red flag’ coercive and controlling behaviours like isolating you from friends or repeatedly putting you down, before escalating into other forms of abuse.

“Coercive control creates invisible chains and a sense of fear that impacts every element of a survivor‘s life.

“It’s worrying to see behaviours like this being given a platform in popular media like Big Brother.”

Women’s Aid has been contacted by “many viewers who have expressed concern”, added Veronica.

We also told how fans, ex-Housemates and celebrities have all demanded Omar is axed over his behaviour – with viewers in their droves contacting TV regulator, Ofcom.

Speaking about ITV‘s decision to allow Omar to remain on the programme, Veronica said: “Not only does Big Brother risk minimising survivors’ experiences, it also risks presenting abuse as a form of entertainment.

“We must do better to call out and reject abuse as soon as we see it, so women and children can learn the signs and themselves feel confident in speaking up and seeking safety.

“Producers should understand their responsibility to keep contestants emotionally and physically safe. The women in these programmes are real people and need real support.

“We continue to urge television companies such as ITV to engage with experts like Women’s Aid to understand the nature of abuse and how they can do better to protect contestants. We would welcome a discussion with the Big Brother team.”

In one sinister moment from last night’s hard-to-watch episode, Omar interrupted Rhianna’s conversation with Rochelle and Phillip to whisper in her ear.

Bending down to Rhianna in bed to conceal his warning, Omar said: “Do me a favour, I know you’re upset, but don’t talk about me. Thank you.”

One viewer commented: “The fact Omar’s comfortable doing this on national TV scares me for he does behind closed doors.”

Another added: “This has become dangerous now. Omar needs removing from the house.

“He has been gaslighting and emotionally abusing Rhianna for weeks. You don’t have to be a genius to know what would be happening if the cameras and other housemates weren’t there.”

After being approached by The Sun, a Big Brother spokesman said: “All Housemates receive Respect and Inclusion training and an extensive briefing from the Big Brother Senior team to prepare them for living in the House and to set out Big Brother’s expectations for appropriate behaviour and language.

“Housemates are monitored 24 hours a day and any instances of inappropriate behaviour are responded to appropriately.

“Welfare and safeguarding are prioritised throughout the production, with a dedicated welfare team available to support Housemates before, during and after their time in the House.”

Four Big Brother housemates will face the public vote this week

ITV Big Brother has revealed who will face the public vote this week.

Emotions have been running high in the iconic house in recent weeks, with personalities continuing to clash. Viewers have witnessed plenty of explosive rows and heated moments as the housemates live in the House of Time this week.

As part of the new theme though, another nominations twist has been introduced. Tonight’s (October 20) explosive episode saw the housemates take part in nominations in Big Brother’s Time Zone.

They each drew a number from a bag in secret to determine the order they could enter the Time Zone. The first housemate to enter was Philip and the final housemate was Rhianna, with the timing being important.

As the first housemate to enter, Philip had to choose four name disks to place on the nomination podiums and chose Catrin, Harry, Sam and Twinks. The remaining housemates took turns to enter the Time Zone and had the opportunity to swap up to two names on the nomination podiums but could not swap themselves.

Big Brother later revealed that Catrin, Harry, Sam and Twinks will be the next housemates to face the public vote ahead of Friday night’s live eviction, airing on ITV2 and ITVX. However, viewers were unimpressed with the line up as one person wrote on X: “I don’t know if I can watch this show any longer.” Another said: “This is an absolute joke.”

A third fumed: “Truly truly truly could not have gone worse, I feel sick to my STOMACH”, as a fourth added: “Four chances for a good nom selection and its still horrid.”

A fifth stated: “It just isn’t making a fun viewing experience.” A sixth viewer commented: “Boycott the vote! We refuse to vote!!!! We are done!!!” Another raged: “This line up is such a fix omg. I’ve had enough.”

Viewers were also quick to share who they would be voting for, and it’s not looking good for one housemate. One person wrote: “Harry is gonna go, but I still don’t think it’s fair.”

Another said: “So we’re all getting rid of Harry yeah?” A third added: “Voting for Harry to go”, as a fourth penned: “Well all my votes will be going to Harry.”

Voting for Friday’s eviction opens at 10:15pm tonight (Oct 20) with viewers being asked to vote for the housemate they wish to evict from the House.

Friday night (October 23) will see the next eviction from the Big Brother House and the evictee’s first live interview with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best, with fears already rising over a potential double eviction – though this is yet to be confirmed by ITV.

Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX

ITV have issued a statement after a furious backlash from fans in the way Omar has been treating fellow housemate Rhianna.

ITV has issued a statement after furious Big Brother fans voiced their concern about Omar’s behaviour towards Rhianna on Monday night’s episode.

Fans were quick to rush to social media to complain about his actions and some even called for producers of the show to “step in” after the altercation left Rhianna in tears. Others insisted he needed to be removed immediately.

ITV today released a statement pointing to their strictly-enforced welfare protocols. It said: “All Housemates receive Respect and Inclusion training and an extensive briefing from the Big Brother Senior team to prepare them for living in the House and to set out Big Brother’s expectations for appropriate behaviour and language.

“Housemates are monitored 24 hours a day and any instances of inappropriate behaviour are responded to appropriately.

“Welfare and safeguarding are prioritised throughout the production, with a dedicated welfare team available to support Housemates before, during and after their time in the House.”

The issue arose as viewers watched on as Rhianna appeared to end her relationship with Omar. She questioned his maturity in conversation.

Rhianna was later called to the Diary Room. She was asked by Big Brother if she was okay and she told them: “I’m not that good but I’ll be fine. Obviously me and Omar have not been good over the last few days and sometimes I don’t like the way he speaks to me.”

She added: “I wouldn’t let a boy speak to me like that outside of here so why am I letting him speak to me like that… If it keeps going in circles, we can just be friends.”

Fans quickly shared their views on social media and said the viewing was “uncomfortable”. One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, said: “Big Brother really needs to intervene between Omar and Rhianna and call out the abhorrent actions of Omar.

“The way he speaks to her, the double standards and all the red flags are so concerning for her and any other potential future partners.”

Former I’m A Celebrity Star and regular guest on Big Brother companion shows Dean McCulloch shared a TikTok and captioned it: “Omar needs to be removed from the house with immediate effect.”

He said: “Those scenes that we had to watch tonight and that behaviour that Rihanna had to endure is completely unacceptable. That’s not even good TV. That’s not even close to being good TV.

“The way that he has spoken about her and to her and the way he is treating her . . . should not be tolerated in any way shape or form. He needs to be made an example of. The way he leaned over her, spoke to her in her ear, the way he told her she needed to fix up, the way he said look at me…we’ve moved into a dark place and Rihanna needs to be protected.”

ITV’s comment comes after Women’s Aid also responded to the scenes. On Instagram, they said: “We’re seeing coercive and controlling behaviours being given a platform in popular media like Big Brother. We’ve been contacted by many viewers who have expressed concern. Not only does Big Brother risk minimising survivors’ experiences, it also risks presenting abuse as a form of entertainment.

“Producers should understand their responsibility to keep contestants emotionally and physically safe. The women in these programmes are real people and need real support.

BIG Brother’s Omar El Mayer will remain in the spy house despite being accused of “coercive and abusive” behaviour towards Rhianna Collins – but I’ve heard of events that have happened in the shared bedroom that feel even more worrying.

The Sun’s mole on the show has shared details of one strange action the jewellery salesman has performed before bed and how it has raised eyebrows on set amid fan outcry.

It comes as Women’s Aid have spoken out over Omar’s behaviour as viewers rush to complain to Ofcom.

Omar, 21, scolded Rhianna, also 21, for speaking about their argument to her co-stars before using “red-flag” language including “don’t talk about me”, “don’t cry”, “don’t look away from me”, “sort yourself out” and “fix up”.

Now unaired scenes can be revealed and it all hangs on Big Brother’s thorough duty of care measures.

Our source said: “If there are people sharing a bed, Big Brother has a rule that every night they individually have to show the camera a thumbs up or thumbs down to show that they consent to that situation.

“If there is no sign, or a thumbs down, Big Brother intervenes and calls them to the diary room.

“Over the last few nights Omar has been putting thumbs DOWN and so has been called into the diary room.

“When he’s in there he doesn’t really seem to explain much.”

The revelation shocked me, as a Big Brother fan as well as someone who closely reports on the show, because surely it seems more likely Rhianna would be the one flagging concern to bosses.

Our source added: “It’s raised eyebrows – if he’d done it once, fair enough, but the fact he’s done a thumbs down over a few nights suggests it’s a pattern of behaviour to control the narrative.

“There’s clearly complex emotions at play but it’s troubling.”

The revelation comes amid a rising storm around Omar remaining on the show.

As yet, bosses have not moved to remove him from the house.

A Big Brother spokesman said: “All Housemates receive Respect and Inclusion training and an extensive briefing from the Big Brother Senior team to prepare them for living in the House and to set out Big Brother’s expectations for appropriate behaviour and language.

“Housemates are monitored 24 hours a day and any instances of inappropriate behaviour are responded to appropriately.

“Welfare and safeguarding are prioritised throughout the production, with a dedicated welfare team available to support Housemates before, during and after their time in the House.”

Yesterday Women’s Aid spoke out following complaints over last night’s “worrying” scenes between Omar and Rhianna.

Spokesman Veronica Oakeshott told The Sun: “The nature of abuse means that it often begins with ‘red flag’ coercive and controlling behaviours like isolating you from friends or repeatedly putting you down, before escalating into other forms of abuse.

“Coercive control creates invisible chains and a sense of fear that impacts every element of a survivor‘s life.

“It’s worrying to see behaviours like this being given a platform in popular media like Big Brother.”

Women’s Aid has been contacted by “many viewers who have expressed concern”, added Veronica.

We also told how fans, ex-Housemates and celebrities have all demanded Omar is axed over his behaviour – with viewers in their droves contacting TV regulator, Ofcom.

She added: “We continue to urge television companies such as ITV to engage with experts like Women’s Aid to understand the nature of abuse and how they can do better to protect contestants. We would welcome a discussion with the Big Brother team.”

Scenes between Omar and Rhianna have seen her telling Omar “I don’t want to argue with you”, to which he replied “Well, then, don’t say mad things that you don’t mean. It’s not fair. You need to sort it out, get it together.”

Rhianna then whispered “I’m sorry” and he accepted her apology saying “it’s OK” before they spent the night together in bed.

In another sinister moment from last night’s hard-to-watch episode, Omar interrupted Rhianna’s conversation with Rochelle and Phillip to whisper in her ear.

Bending down to Rhianna in bed to conceal his warning, Omar said: “Do me a favour, I know you’re upset, but don’t talk about me. Thank you.”

“He has been gaslighting and emotionally abusing Rhianna for weeks.

“You don’t have to be a genius to know what would be happening if the cameras and other housemates weren’t there.”

Tensions keep rising in the iconic house as housemates continue to clash

ITV Big Brother fans have issued the same complaint seconds in tonight’s explosive episode.

Tensions continue to bubble over in the iconic house as a clear divide causes frictions amongst the housemates. Just last night (October 18) saw Catrin left in tears after she expressed her frustrations over comments made behind people’s backs.

When Twinks mentioned there was a hierarchy in the house, things turned sour when Philip and Rochelle confronted the comments made. Twinks was also seen in tears as she admitted to Big Brother she was struggling in the house, with Philip admitting he was no longer going to talk to the newcomer.

The explosive scenes come after Rob’s live eviction on Friday, October 16 after he was voted the fifth housemate to leave the Big Brother house following a public vote.

Tonight’s episode brought yet more drama and chaos with just weeks to go until the final. However, just seconds in tonight’s instalment (October 19), viewers issued the same complaint when a preview was shown.

The episode had barely started when a preview hinted more drama to come, especially between Omar and Rhianna as they appeared to call time on their relationship.

Taking to social media, viewers threatened to switch off their television screens over the Rhianna and Omar-focussed episode, with many growing tired of their relationship. One person wrote: “An episode centred around the showmance? I might have to check out lol.”

Another said: “Cracks are definitely appearing between Omar and Rhianna”, as a third added: “The Omar Rihanna love story is so boring is that really the only thing that’s been happening the last few days?”

A fourth stated: “Not looking forward to this episode just knowing that Omar and Rhianna will have more than 5 seconds of airtime! Annoyed already!”

A fifth slammed: “Not another Omar and Rihanna edit please”, a sixth echoed: “Omar and Rihanna double eviction WHOS WITH ME.” One person stated: “Looks like this episode is about Omar and Rhianna.”

Viewers have previously commented that the pair are better suited apart as one person said: “Rhianna I love you dearly when will you finally be done with Omar.”

Taking to Instagram though, one viewer shared a reminder on this year’s cast, adding: “Reminder. It’s a TV show. No one’s been set up. They are willingly taking part in a show. You’re welcome.”

Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX

ITV viewers have issued the same complaint following the latest episode of Big Brother

Big Brother viewers have been left ‘devastated’ by recent scenes in the ITV show.

The reality competition returned to screens on Sunday night (October 18), thrusting viewers into the aftermath of Friday’s eviction. Radio presenter Rob was forced to leave the house after losing the public vote to his co-stars Yasmin and Twinks.

Following Rob’s sad exit, Big Brother has introduced this week’s big theme: The House of Time. In the coming days, each housemate will be taking part in tasks to win time with their loved ones.

But the exciting twist has been overshadowed by a huge row that broke out between housemates just minutes into the latest episode. It came after Catrin was left in tears over the divide among her co-stars, admitting she felt uncomfortable because housemates have secretly been “nasty about each other”.

“I feel so frustrated. I feel like there is such a clique. I just hate it,” she confided in Lynx. Her complaint soon made its rounds in the house, and sparked a heated row between Twinks and Philip.

After spotting Catrin’s low mood, Yasmin asked her co-stars: “Is she ok? She looked like she’d been crying.” Twinks then explained that the 23-year-old was struggling to adjust to the hierarchy in the house, implying that the so-called “King Philip and Queen Rochelle” are key players in the housemates’ divide.

She said: “Yeah she is. She’s struggling with the dynamics of the house. Big time. It’s getting to her a lot. She’s a sensitive, stunning, little soul and the whole us and them, the whole hierarchy of this spot. Let’s not pretend this isn’t a thing.”

Tensions reached boiling point when Rhianna reported the conversation to Philip, who wasted no time before confronting Twinks. Storming into the lounge, he fumed: “Twinks. Who is the highest person in here?”

Twinks defended herself and replied: “You are.” After some back-and-forth, Philip then hit back with: “Keep your f***** mouth shut.” In another scene, the 53-year-old vented his frustrations with Twinks to his close friends and brutally referred to her as a “c***”.

The row proved too much for Twinks as she was left contemplating quitting the show altogether. Confiding in Big Brother, Twinks revealed that she felt “hideous” after her spat with Philip. “I am so unwelcome in this place,” she said as she tried to fight back tears.

She added: “Why would I put myself through this? It doesn’t feel nice. ‘Grow thick skin, it’s the big Brother house.’ Maybe I don’t want a thick skin, maybe I had to have a thick skin growing up and I’ve spent the last 15 years trying to feel soft and feel things.

“It’s not nice, they’re not nice people. I really genuinely feel like Cat would have such a better chance if I wasn’t here. She’s such a sweet, kind, and empathetic person.”

Viewers at home were left ‘devastated’ as they watched Twinks and Catrin crying over the divide among the contestants, with many calling for Big Brother to take some form of action to resolve tensions in the house.

AJ Odudu and Will Best hosted another live eviction on Friday, which saw one housemate bid farewell

Another housemate has been kicked out of the Big Brother house.

The hit ITV2 competition returned to screens on Friday night (October 16) for another live eviction. The housemates nominated earlier this week, leaving Twinks and Rob at risk of elimination.

Twinks received six nominations from Rochelle, Frankie, Rhianna, Philip, Yasmin and Omar. Rob also received six nominations from Philip, Rhianna, Omar, Frankie, Lynx and Rochelle. After receiving the most nominations, Twinks and Rob joined Yasmin in the eviction line-up, after she was handed a killer nomination at the end of a House of Power task.

This marked Rob’s second week being up for eviction. He was notably saved by the public last week, when Pauline bid her farewells to the house for the final time. But did he manage to survive another eviction?

Who left Big Brother tonight?

After surviving last week’s eviction, Rob has now been voted out of the Big Brother house. “I’ve made five weeks!” Rob declared, after his exit was announced by hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best.

Fans were quick to react to the eviction, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts on who was sent packing. “Absolutely abysmal that Rob is the first man to get the boot considering who else is in there but hey, these were the cards we were dealt,” one person wrote on X.

Another added: “I’M SCREAMING.” A third said: “I’m actually so upset. Why did they vote Rob out???? He was having such a good time.”

The frustration continued, as someone else commented: “Devastated but I would’ve been upset whatever happened.” A fifth viewer echoed the sentiment: “Rob is ROBBED! How people even booing him is WILD! He was the most himself of everyone in that house that got him evicted sadly. Rob you were a fantastic housemate.”

Meanwhile, other viewers predicted the winner of the series, after Yasmin received loud cheers at the eviction. “Yasmin is going to win surely after that reception?” one person wrote. Another added: “Aww Yasmin’s face when she heard the cheers.”

Elsewhere on tonight’s Big Brother, the housemates took part in a characteristic survey as part of this week’s shopping task. In the garden, the housemates had to select a random ball, take a seat on the “mood swing”, and throw it into the net of the housemate they believed received the most votes for a certain characteristic.

When it was Rhianna’s turn for the red team, she retrieved the ball that said “most secretive”. As she made her decision, Rhianna said: “I feel like the most secretive in the house could be Frankie, only because you have a lot going on in your head and you’re just telling Yasmin something.”

Rochelle then described Yasmin as the “most flirty”, before Frankie had to identify who had been branded the “biggest headache”. Tensions later flared in the house, after Rob called Philip and Rochelle out for eating the red team’s basic rations.

“I f****** know I’m right, is what I’m saying,” Philip fumed. “If I want a cracker, I’ll have a f****** cracker and don’t tell me I can’t otherwise, okay?”

Big Brother fans weren’t impressed with one star’s actions during the latest episode

One Big Brother star has sparked backlash after their comments in the house.

The hit reality series returned to screens on Thursday (October 15), ahead of the next eviction. Yasmin, Twinks and Rob will all face the public vote on Friday night (October 16). Yasmin notably received a killer nomination this week, while Twinks and Rob each received six nominations from their fellow housemates.

The housemates tackled another shopping task during the latest episode, as the house transformed into Big Brother’s body. The teams were given various challenges to determine who would be awarded the luxury shopping budget, while the losing side had to face basic rations.

Drama quickly ensued when Rochelle upset Harry during the task, leading to him storming out of the living area. Harry was supported by his fellow housemates as he broke down in tears in the bathroom.

But the tension didn’t end there, as Philip later shared his true feelings about Rochelle, who he has appeared to be close with in the house. During a whispered conversation in the garden, Philip told Lynx: “Lynx, I have wished for her to go.

“So, if she f****** goes, because it’s got that way now. I haven’t got no time for her. I haven’t, I’m telling you, I’m speaking honest with you. That’s why I have time in bed, because I want to stay away from her. And that’s no word of a lie that.”

Philip went on: “Rochelle has said too much… And it’s funny what she kept saying to me and all. She’d say, ‘You’re my best friend in here.’ She said, ‘You’ll never turn on me, will you? Never turn on me.’ She kept saying that to me. She’s got too f****** much to say.”

Lynx added: “And it’s never-ending. And like you make such a pure soul like Harry get like that today, and then you come in the bathroom and make it about you. It’s just sometimes you just have to think about what you say.”

Philip continued: “See, she’s had a very privileged [life] from a child. I think she’s been spoiled, and I think she’s got away with everything. Everything she wants, she got. She never wants to listen about you, about your life, about your things. And do you know what? I’m not really interested and I don’t want to tell her.”

Lynx then said: “Since Sam went or like, when he was giving his reason to vote her, he was like, ‘All you talk about is me, me, me.’ God that stuck with me.”

Philip shared that Sam was “f****** right” about what he said, before concluding: “This is what she’s like. And come on, Lynx, she’s got on everyone’s [nerves]. She has. The ones [that have] gone and the ones [that are] here, she f****** has.”

Viewers were left speechless after hearing Philip’s comments, with many sharing their shock on social media. “Not a good look,” one person wrote on X.

Another added: “Wow can’t believe Philip’s now turning on Rochelle. I sense a downfall coming.” A third said: “Not Philip showing his true colours after that chat about Rochelle!”

A fourth viewer echoed the sentiment, saying: “Philip is giving game player, sorry not sorry.” Someone else similarly shared: “Philip turning on his ‘best friend’ is not what I expected.”

The drama continued in the Big Brother house on Thursday, as one star struggled to control their emotions

Emotions ran high during the latest episode of Big Brother.

It’s been a tense week in the house, following the results of the latest nominations. Yasmin was instantly put up for eviction after receiving a killer nomination this week. It was soon revealed that Twinks and Rob would be joining Yasmin in facing the public vote, after they each received six nominations from their fellow housemates.

During Thursday’s (October 15) episode, the house was transformed into Big Brother’s body, as part of this week’s shopping task. The housemates, who remained in their two teams, were tasked with keeping Big Brother’s body healthy and happy.

Team captains Rob and Samuel became Big Brother’s brain, and were able to hold all the power. All the other housemates became blue and red blood cells, and had to obey every command given by their side of the brain. The team that performed the best would be rewarded with a luxury shopping budget, while the other team would have to make-do with basic rations.

It later became too much for Harry, as he started to feel the pressure of being in the house. “I feel like all our lot have f***** off. I feel like we’re just left and even then, Rochelle just said, ‘What did you do to stand out?'” he said.

Rob tried to comfort his friend, saying: “This process is hard enough without people making it harder for each other. You can tell me to shut up if this is an overreach, but from a couple of people it feels there’s an assumption that you can’t do a challenge.”

Several jibes from his fellow housemates later proved too much for Harry. During the task, Rochelle told Harry to “f****** concentrate”, adding: “It’s really annoying. He won’t be laughing when he’s got no f****** thing to eat next week.”

Harry didn’t take too kindly to Rochelle’s comments, as he was soon seen slamming the bedroom door and rushing into the bathroom. Philip and Lynx stepped in to try and calm Harry down by getting him to take a moment in the toilet cubicle.

Harry soon emerged in tears, saying: “I feel s*** man. Just can’t be a****.” Rochelle later apologised to Harry, and became emotional as she reflected on her behaviour.

“I’m desperate to get home and just hope that I’m more patient and just different. I can just be horrible and I have to be better,” she tearfully said to Yasmin and Rhianna. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Rob and Samuel acknowledged that they needed to support Harry more during their time in the house.

After watching the emotional scenes, viewers were quick to share their concern on X, with one person writing: “That is my worst nightmare – having a meltdown and like 6 people surrounding me. LET HIM BREATHE.” Another added: “Harry has a beautiful soul. Rochelle needs to leave.”

A third said: “Sad to watch Harry be so emotional, he’s clearly hurting.” Someone else echoed the sentiment, saying: “Seeing Harry sad has genuinely upset me.”

The remaining Big Brother housemates returned to the Diary Room to nominate on Wednesday

Three Big Brother housemates are at risk of eviction this week.

The latest round of nominations took place in the house on Wednesday (October 14), with the remaining housemates entering the Diary Room to share their choices. This comes after Yasmin received a killer nomination this week.

After losing a dominoes task, Yasmin was chosen by the winning blue team to be put up for eviction for the first time. The group then made their own selections for who they wanted to be at risk of leaving on Friday (October 16) night.

For the first time this series, there will be three housemates facing the public vote. Twinks and Rob received the most nominations from their fellow housemates, meaning they will join Yasmin in facing eviction this week.

Twinks received six nominations from Rochelle, Frankie, Rhianna, Philip, Yasmin and Omar. Rob also received six nominations from Philip, Rhianna, Omar, Frankie, Lynx and Rochelle.

Rochelle received four nominations, while Omar and Rhianna each had two. Catrin, Lynx, Philip and Sam were all voted for once, while Frankie and Harry received no nominations from their fellow housemates.

Voting for Friday’s eviction opened at 10pm, with viewers being asked to vote for the housemate they wish to evict from the house. After learning the result of this week’s nominations, it didn’t take long for fans to share their frustrations on social media.

“My 3 current fave housemates are up for eviction,” one fumed on X. Another said: “Actually fuming.” Someone else commented: “Yasmin vs Twinks vs Rob is an abysmal eviction lineup while the horror group coast their way through btw.”

A fourth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: “Cancel the eviction. I don’t want any of them to go.” Another furious viewer wrote: “I’m done with this.”

Elsewhere in tonight’s episode, Omar played a prank on Rochelle by hiding her nail kit in the store room. However, she didn’t see the funny side, as she was soon heard screaming: “Where is it? Where’s my f****** bag? Where is it?”

Rochelle left the bedroom and headed to the garden to ask the other housemates. Lynx said: “I don’t know. I don’t f****** know,” before Yasmin added: “Rochelle, you haven’t even looked properly.”

Omar then turned to Lynx, saying: “She will never find it, where we put it. Does Frankie know?” After searching high and low for her nail kit, Rochelle headed to the Diary Room to share her frustrations.

“Where’s my nail, where’s all my nail stuff? The whole lot’s gone… where, who has taken it? I f****** hate him. I want my nail stuff… just tell them to give it to me back… I’m literally gonna rip this place apart till I find it.”

Some Big Brother fans demanded another housemate be nominated for eviction after the task

It came after a ‘brutal’ task caused chaos.

Fans of Big Brother were left raging as they claim some housemates made the ‘worst choice ever’ with a killer nomination. It comes as the housemates were confronted with the final power game in their teams.

Rob chose Yasmin, Omar and Rhianna to represent the red team. Meanwhile, Samuel picked Rochelle, Catrin and himself to play on behalf of the blue team.

Housemates had to take it in turns to place a domino in a line on a beam. Once all 60 dominos were lined up, one player knocked down the first domino to trigger a run and win the game.

However, after having to restart, Yasmin said: “We’re actually f**ked.” Rihanna was displeased with Omar’s attempt at encouraging comments and told him: “Shut up Omar. Just one second, please.”

Back in the living area, Rob commented: “Please don’t start bickering.” Frankie said: “We’ve got a civil war going on now, falling apart.”

The blue team thought they had victory in their grasp but had to start the whole thing again. At one point, Sam quipped: “Guys are showing your true colours in this game.”

To which Yasmin responded: “Sam, is that not the game? It’s the rules.” And Catrin noted: “No, I think you’re just being quite bitter with it. Quite nasty, I’ll be honest.”

Amid rising tensions, Yasmin knocked over the other team’s dominos which meant that her team was disqualified and the blue team was named winner. The entire group was called to the Task Room and Big Brother revealed the prize.

He said: “Congratulations, you have won today’s power game… but you have not won power of the House. You have won the power of the vote… you are now in possession of a killer nomination.”

Harry replied: “That’s crazy.” Big Brother instructed: “You must now select one housemate from the opposite team to receive this killer nomination. Whichever housemate you select will automatically face the public vote this Friday.”

Lynx quickly tried to put Rob up for eviction again, repeating previous reasons for nomination about his singing. Omar was suggested by Samuel and Catrin because of comments he made to Yasmin and Rihanna during the dominos challenge.

The house seemed to descend into chaos as the blue team struggled to come to a decision. Ultimately Yasmin was chosen.

It did not take long for fans watching along at home to share their feelings about it. One posted on social media: “Worst possible outcome. Not our Yasmin.” While another replied: “How’s that happened? Like the worst choice.” Someone else commented: “This killer nomination has actually ruined my mood.”

Others demanded that Omar be nominated for eviction later in the week after his recent behaviour. This included his conversation with Samuel as he confronted him for calling his behaviour as ‘classeless’.

One person said: “I genuinely don’t think Omar knows what classless means… that whole conversation was embarrassing. I wish Sam had the confidence to challenge him.”

A viewer agreed: “Actually don’t think I can watch anymore till Omar is out. I feel like I’m losing the plot because he’s moving around like that and they’re all just saying he’s a sweet misunderstood little superstar.”

Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Big Brother fans predicted that this week would see a dramatic change to how nominations work

GK Barry and Kate Lawler have confirmed the next dramatic twist after the latest episode of Big Brother aired.

Fans believe they have already worked out the next housemate to be evicted after the presenters of ITV’s companion series The Group Chat confirmed the latest shake-up to nominations.

The current iteration of the show has seen a certain theme be imposed on the house. Following on from ‘the house of revelation’ it has now become ‘the house of power’.

It all began with the entrance of Gemma Collin s who spent a brief 48 hours among the housemates. Scenes shown during Monday night’s (October 12) saw Gemma spend her final day and make an abrupt exit.

Between this, the contestants were split into the red team and the blue team. Members of each side was picked by a captain picked by Gemma herself.

This saw the likes of Rob and Sam chosen to select who they wanted to team up with. Each had to then nominate someone over the last two days who should face a task.

Tonight, Twinks beat Lynx by building a tower of cards with four layers. It meant that the red team were treated to a pizza party with Gemma, while the blue team were left out. In addition, they were not permitted to sit on the sofas and could only shower for two minutes.
