Big Brother viewers were left in confusion after one housemate made bombshell claims they were ready to 'walk out' after the first nominations descended into chaos
Big Brother fans were left scratching their heads after one contestant dropped a bombshell that they might 'walk out' of the house.
The reality TV show was thrown into disarray following the first round of nominations, which saw Big Brother put the newly appointed Head of House Khaled in a tough spot. His decision to issue a 'killer' nomination sparked intense discussions and confrontations among the housemates.
Amidst the turmoil, housemate Ali declared her desire to exit the show, exclaiming to her fellow contestants, 'I'm leaving', reports the Mirror. But why is she still in the house?
Khaled earned the title of Head of House after winning a challenge that was essentially musical chairs with a twist. Contestants had to dance until the music stopped and then scramble for a spot on the floor highlighted by a spotlight, with the slowest person each round being knocked out.
While Khaled enjoyed a party thrown in his honour, housemates Lily and Ali cast doubts over his sincerity, branding him "fake". Initiating the conversation, Lily remarked: "I think Khaled is fake," which Ali echoed, saying: "I think Khaled is fake as well."
Ali continued to express her scepticism to the others, commenting, "He's worried about being perceived in a certain way, he doesn't feel terrible, he just wants to look like he feels terrible."
This followed an incident where Khaled attempted to console those who were barred from his celebration, prompting Ali to snipe: "It's just a ten minute party in a fake house." Later on, she opted for a direct approach with Khaled, expressing her feelings clearly: "I think you're a nice boy, but I find, sometimes the interactions, I find 'false' and I find that very, very difficult because then I don't want to engage with it because I don't want to play into it."
Not wanting to come across insincere, she added: "I don't want to be fake with you and I don't want to be like, shaking your hand and hugging you when inside I'm thinking, 'I just don't buy it'."
However, these confrontations didn't mark the end of the drama. The temperature rose even more after Khaled, as Head of House, acquired a special privilege subsequent to the first nomination phase. Exercising this power, he issued a killer nomination which put Martha at risk alongside Ali, Lily, and Daze, stoking disputes among Nathan and Daze, along with Ali and Khaled.
In a clip that was shown on Late and Live ahead of Tuesday's (October 15) episode, Ali partly apologises to Khaled but drops a bombshell claim of her own.
"I take responsibility for the insult, it wasn't as funny as I thought it was," she said, before blindsiding him with: "I am leaving. I'm sorry things have snowballed. I'm not staying. Not a chance."
Subsequently, she retreated to the bedroom and confided in Lily and Daze, telling them: "I'm going, I don't want to be here anymore. Don't tell the others but I don't want to be here anymore so I'm done."
Viewers of the programme were left worried that a contestant might have exited prematurely before the upcoming evictions, but presenter AJ Odudu reassured those in the studio on Monday, saying: "I can confirm that Ali is still in the house for now."
As of this moment, neither Big Brother nor ITV have officially stated that any participant has chosen to depart from the house.
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX followed by Big Brother: Late and Live at 10pm
