Big Brother’s Philip skips the Group Chat spin-off show days after dramatic double eviction and turning on crowd
FOLLOWING his dramatic eviction from the Big Brother house on Friday, Philip Regan was a no-show on spin-off The Group Chat.
The sister series, hosted by Kate Lawler and GK Barry, welcomes freshly-evicted housemates to dissect their time in the house.
But Philip was not featured on the latest instalment, having last been seen during the brutal double eviction on Friday, which descended into chaos as he furiously turned on the heckling crowd during his exit interview.
Fellow evictee Rhianna Collins appeared solo, as did house guest Tiffany Pollard; yet Philip was absent, with the hosts saying he “is needed at home with his family.”
On Friday night, the Liverpudlian housemate was met with a barrage of boos after being booted out of the ITV2 house ahead of Rhianna.
When Philip sat down with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best for his exit chat, things got spicier, with audience members continuing to shout and jeer throughout the interview.
The evicted star was left fuming after discovering that fellow housemate Rochelle had nominated him, before hitting back at the audience, declaring: “It’s a game, we signed up for it and you know what, I bet every one of you wish you could have been in there. I lived it.”
As the crowd erupted into boos, Philip shouted “Hang on!” and attempted to quieten the hecklers.
The drama continued when he was questioned about his explosive bust-ups with Celebrity Big Brother legend Tiffany, snapping: “She came for me, she’s been paid to come for me.”
He added: “I’m proud, no matter what anyone thinks, it was hard work.”
Philip then turned his attention to fellow housemate Twinks, admitting he initially disliked her because he felt she expected everyone to approach her when she first entered the house.
Defending his attitude, he insisted “it’s our house”, prompting the audience to chant back: “It’s Big Brother’s house!”
Clearly irritated, Philip fired back “oh alright love, you’ve had your five minutes,” sparking yet more boos.
He then declared: “It is what it is, I can’t be arsed talking about it. It’s all about me.”
Viewers watching at home were stunned by the scenes, with one writing on X: “Philip crashing out is the best TV.”
Another posted: “This interview is chaotic.”
Another fan wrote “LMAOOOO everyone going for Phil”, while someone else declared: “Phil getting berated im OBSESSED!”
Another defended him, writing: “That crowd need to stfu!”
