Time was up for one housemate on Friday night as Celebrity Big Brother aired their first live eviction of the series. On Thursday, viewers saw the housemates nominate, with Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd and former Conservative MP Michael Fabricant receiving the most votes from their CBB co-stars.
It meant that they’d be facing the first live eviction, alongside Hollywood star Mickey Rourke who received a killer nomination from JoJo Siwa earlier in the week. The public had 24 hours to vote and, unfortunately for Michael, it was time to say his goodbyes as he became the first housemate to leave the show.
However, before his time was up Michael issued a few final cutting blows in Friday night’s episode as he was seen slamming Trisha Goddard with a shocking comment and enraging fans with a gross comment towards JoJo in scenes shown before the live eviction. Later in the show, Michael’s time in the house came to an end. Despite struggling to find the exit, Michael left to mixed reaction from the crowd as he met with Will and AJ outside.
However, some fans were disappointed by his early exit. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan wrote: “Michael should still be in the house, Jack is booooring,” while another penned: “Im sad for Michael. He was lovely and had a lot more to give. #cbb #cbbuk“.
Speaking to Will Best and AJ Odudu, Michael said he was sad to leave having made great friendships during his short time in the house.
Fans were left shocked during last night’s episode which saw Jack receive eight nominations. Trisha Goddard and Danny Beard were among the two who nominated the Corrie star stating their differences in humour as their reasons.
Donna Preston also nominated Jack – but for a less serious reason. The comedian told Big Brother she’d be voting for him due to his “overbearing aftershave”.
However, fans weren’t happy with some of the housemates reasons calling them a “cop out”.
“This Celebrity Big Brother is lame in terms of nominations. Big brother should tell some housemates their reasons for nominating are not good enough reasons & they should give proper reasons – for example when Donna nominated Jack because of his aftershave! #CBBUK,” penned one.
Another wrote: “What a stupid reason to nominate Jack, Donna gave. He wears too much aftershave! #CBBUK.” However, a third showed her support towards the comedian, writing: “i hate the smell of men’s aftershave i totally understand where donna is coming from #cbbuk“.
However, it wasn’t only Donna’s nominations that had fans riled up as one tweeted: “Jack nominating Danny because he farted Donna nominating Jack because of his aftershave and Angelica because she had the same pyjamas as her Michael nominating Patsy because she asked about his wig What are these nominations?”
Elsewhere in tonight’s episode, the “suspected feud” between Patsy Palmer and Mickey Rourke continued. Earlier in the week, fans noticed Patsy shooting dirty looks over to the Hollywood star after he expressed his dismay towards the food – unaware that Patsy was the one cooking.
Tonight, things went even further when he criticised the EastEnders star again, as she was left in tears. Despite laughing the jokes off to start with, she later headed off the the Diary Room to let steam off to Big Brother.
“Sorry,” she said, breaking down in tears. “I tried to talk that one out but it didn’t really work. I feel like I let myself down there and I don’t want my reactions to be like that.
“I always want my kids to always stand up for themselves. Maybe it was just a joke – maybe I need to look at it like that. I need to try to rise above it. It doesn’t mean I have to like him,” she continued.
However, Mickey was unaware he’d upset Patsy, as the comments continued. Later, he could be heard telling Big Brother they need to to invest in providing better food for the contestants. “I think in future, you guys should hire really good chefs to feed the people,” he said.
Patsy isn’t the first housemate the Hollywood star has upset in his first few days. Earlier in the week Mickey was given a formal warning following homophobic remarks towards JoJo Siwa.
It came after Mickey was heard telling housemates that he was going to “vote the lesbian out” when referring to JoJo.
Later, he told housemates he “needed a fag” as he turned to the Karma singer and said: “I’m not talking to you.”
Shortly after the remark, Mickey was called to the Diary Room by Big Brother. As Big Brother read the exchange to Mickey, he was asked if he understands how his language could be offensive to his housemates or the public.
Yeah I think so. If I was saying it in a nasty kind of way or if I truly meant it,” he said before being giving a formal warning. He was then told that further language or behaviour of this nature could lead to him being removed from the Big Brother house.
