The Celebrity Big Brother housemates only arrived on Monday night – but just four days later it was time for one of them to say their goodbyes
Time was up for one housemate tonight as Celebrity Big Brother aired their first live eviction of the series. Last night, viewers saw the housemates nominate, with Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd and former Conservative MP Michael Fabricant receiving the most votes.
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.
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 and AJ, 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?”
