Celebrity Big Brother is in full swing – and in the past week, we’ve seen a new selection of famous (and not-so-famous) faces attempt peaceful cohabitation in the reality show house.
Presenter Trisha Goddard, 67, was the second housemate to be evicted, receiving the fewest public votes on Tuesday (15 April).
Elsewhere in the episode, JoJo Siwa, 21, opened up about her gender identity in the diary room, telling Big Brother that “beautiful non-binary people are who I feel the most like” – but clarifying that “it’s not something I want to say about myself yet”.
Goddard’s exit follows Michael Fabricant, who was the first to be evicted. The Wrestler actor Mickey Rourke was next removed after a chaotic six-day stint in the house.
Rourke, 72, had been at the centre of controversy since his entrance When he “View” Presenter Aj Odudu. He later faced calls to be ejected from the house after making homophobic comments to Shiva.
He was ultimately thrown off the show by producers for “inappropriate sexual language” aimed at The Only Way is Essex star Ella Rae Wise, 24, as well as “threatening and aggressive” behaviour towards Chris Hughes, 32.
Rourke grew irate when Hughes, in character as a pirate for a shopping task, “eyeballed” him. Rourke later apologised to the former Love Island star, and told Big Brother he was “ashamed” of his actions. According to evicted housemate Fabricant, however, the worst of what Rourke said was not even broadcast.
The series continues at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
Did anyone else feel particuarly bad for Trisha?
It seemed unfair that she was evicted when Patsy seemed rearing to go out of the house!
