Big Brother stars vow to make changes after 'cruel' Farida eviction causes upset

Big Brother contestants have vowed to make changes in the house following Farida's 'cruel' eviction.

The makeup artist, 50, from Wolverhampton was the first to be booted off the revamped show on ITV2 on Friday after NHS manager, Kerry, 40, was saved by the public vote.

When Farida's name was called out by hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best, many of the housemates ran to congratulate Kerry rather than bid a forlorn-looking Farida farewell.

Speaking about the awkward scenes in tonight' show, Trish tells Noky and Zak: "I thought it was out of order that she got out and everyone went to hug Kerry. She’s allowed to celebrate but everyone should have gone to her [Farida].”

Nodding, Noky replies, saying: “We all need to learn to have more grace in the future about that.” Shortly after, Trish speaks to Kerry and Olivia about the eviction, saying: “I did think it was a bit sad that someone is leaving but everyone rushed to you.”

Kerry says: “I was just crying. I didn’t know what was going on.” While her pal Olivia states: "My alliance or allegiance lies with Kerry ultimately. Not because of any feelings towards Farida but I’m close to Kerry.”

Speaking after her eviction, Farida told Kerry she'd be next to leave because of her age. Claiming the younger people in the house are ganging up to ensure their older co-stars leave first, she appeared to offend the NHS manager, who said her closest friends in the house were 18 and 23.

Pointing to her pals Hallie and Olivia, Kerry was stunned when Farida hit back saying she was only "trying" to be friends with the younger housemates like a mum 'trying to befriend their child'. However, fans on social media criticised Farida, as one said: "OMG Farida accusing everyone of nominating her and Kerry because they're older. Farida also nominated Kerry. The reason she's nominated is not age, it's cos she is irritating."

When Farida was told she would be leaving the house she exclaimed: "Yes!" as she packed her bags. Speaking to hosts AJ and Will in her exit interview, she insisted: "I had the most amazing time." But fans of the show were divided on her exit with several saying the series would be far less entertaining with her in it.

One said: "Well there goes the best character #BigBrother." Another echoed: "Well damn #bigbrother that was a quick way to lose viewers." While a third said: "I have NO idea what the house will be like going forward, Farida had such a massive impact on day-to-day events."
