A ‘savage’ and ‘evil’ elimination had Big Brother fans shocked (Picture: ITV)
Big Brother fans have admitted ‘feeling horrendous’ after voting out one housemate to save another.
For the first time this season, one star was booted out the house through the backdoor in a pre-recorded segment, instead of during a live eviction.
On Tuesday night, viewers discovered the new Head of House, Emma, had the power to nominate four names for eviction.
She chose Ali, Martha, Khaled and Thomas, and after a public vote, it was revealed tonight that Martha had been eliminated.
In a move that was branded ‘savage’ and ‘evil’ by the other housemates, Big Brother narrowed the housemates down one by one.
Khaled and Ali were the first to be confirmed as safe, with the final ‘trick or treat’ leaving Martha soaked in slime.
‘Thanks for the amazing opportunity, you’ve got a lovely bunch in here,’ she sobbed, walking out.

Fans were left reacting to the shock move, with many saying how thankful they were that Ali was still safe.
‘I feel horrendous for voting Martha out the backdoor but we had to save Ali,’ @heartofmatcha wrote on X.
‘i feel bad for her now. I became an empath,’ @delairr111 wrote.
‘That was AMAZING television and actually really emotional?! So relieved Ali is safe but very sad to see Martha go (especially as Thomas has just said he’s bored in the house),’ @_erinz_ wrote.

Head of House Emma had all the power with the nominations
Ali, Martha, Khaled and Thomas had been made aware of the nominations earlier during tonight’s episode, with Emma explaining her choices.
She said: ‘I chose Martha mostly because the other night, I felt that rather than owning herself she tried to push the blame a little bit onto Hanah.’
Turning her attention to Ali, she said: ‘I’ve got loads of respect for Ali, I love how strong and convicted she is on her feelings and thoughts but I do think Ali has misjudged somebody.
‘I think speaking to her partner the other night has shown her that she might have been wrong about Segun.’

Ali interjected: ‘I mean, I heard him call me a red witch and a wolf so that’s quite difficult and I never had a negative thought about Segun prior to that.’
Emma had been talking about a conversation where Lily had misheard Ali’s partner on the phone, who had said: ‘Tell [Ali] Vivienne said she loves you unconditionally.’
Instead, Lily left Ali baffled by incorrectly repeating: ‘She loves Lily and Segs unconditionally.’
