Another bust-up has erupted inside the Big Brother house between an unexpected pair. The House of Power got underway during Sunday's (October 11) episode and it wasn't long before a heated row broke out between Phillip and Rochelle.
Foul-Mouthed Outburst Over Twinks
While chatting with new house guest Gemma Collins, Phillip and Rochelle opened up about Twinks joining the house as one of the new arrivals alongside Catrin. Phillip explained: "I said her [Twinks] 'you've come into our house, our house'. I said 'don't you f****** forget it'. However, Rochelle disagreed saying: "You didn't f****** say it like that'."
An incensed Phillip fired back, saying: "Don't call me a liar" before adding "You've got too much to f***ing say for yourself, you f****** nosey t*** and you can f*** off away from me". However, Rochelle insisted: "I haven't called you a liar.", reports the Mirror.
Fans Question Motives
The spat was short-lived and the pair swiftly reconciled, much to the delight of their fellow housemates. However, some fans have been left questioning whether Phillip is "turning on" Rochelle after reportedly hearing the crowd chanting "Get Rochelle out" during Friday's (October 9) live eviction, which saw Pauline forced to leave the house.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: "Phillip turning on Rochelle after he heard the get Rochelle out chants. More faces than a town clock that one." Another added: "I think Phillip heard the 'get Rochelle' out chants." A third person said: "Phillip heard the crowd saying 'get Rochelle out' now he thinks if I turn on her people will love me, well no." A fourth agreed: "Philip heard the 'get Rochelle chants' and is now turning on her."
Support for Phillip to Win
However, some fans are convinced Phillip will go on and win the entire series, with one viewer writing on social media: "Honestly Phillip for the win" and someone else posting: "Love Phillip he owns it, says how it is, he's funny and he cheers the housemates up as well. Phillip to win for me."
The row between the friends comes just days after Rochelle said her and Phillip were "the Beckhams" because they were "better together" in reference to celebrity couple David and Victoria Beckham.
House of Power Rules Revealed
Elsewhere in the episode, Big Brother revealed the House of Power rules explaining: "Housemates, as you know, this week is all about the power. Soon, the house will be split into two teams. In your teams, you'll take on a series of tasks. At stake - power in the house."
Celebrity house guest Gemma then selected two team captains, choosing Sam and Rob, who then had to decide who they wanted on their teams in preparation for the head-to-head battles that lie ahead. The victorious team gains control of the house until the next game and are the only ones permitted to use the kettle, toaster, air fryer, hot tub and hair appliances.
The defeated team must complete all the cleaning, are only allowed two minutes in the shower each and aren't allowed to sit on the sofa. Big Brother airs Sunday to Thursday on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm.
