The latest series of Big Brother has been one of the most dramatic to date, and tonight's episode features a heated argument over chicken that fans are calling the show's best in years.
What sparked the 'Chickengate' row?
According to The Sun, Rochelle and Rob are cooking as part of this week's challenge, leading to what has been branded 'Chickengate'. After serving the dish to their housemates, Johanne accuses the pair of not having properly cooked the meal.
'Rochelle cooked chicken for everyone and it wasn't to Johanne's liking, and she kicked off,' a source told the paper. 'She accused Rochelle of undercooking it and, as a proud mum and housewife, Rochelle wasn't having the criticism.'
'But Johanne is a food blogger, so she was adamant she knew what she was talking about. These two are constantly at it.'
The heated exchange
In a sneak peek released by the official Big Brother X account, the housemates sit down for dinner and complain about the chicken being half-raw. Johanne then says: 'Rochelle, I want to cook my chicken for…'
Before Johanne can finish her sentence, Rochelle cuts her off, shouting that they'll fail the task if she cooks. 'Who are you talking to?' responds Johanne, to which Rochelle shouts, 'You! It's cooked!'
Johanne then says she won't eat the meal, adding: 'It's not my fault you never took cooking classes.' The pair start bickering until Rochelle yells: 'She has got a screw loose. You lazy f****** cow.' Johanne then brands Rochelle a 'old dirty hag'.
Fans react
The argument, which takes place while the pair are dressed as zoo animals, has delighted viewers. 'This season delivers every day,' wrote @realityteas on X.
'This series keeps getting more and more peak; it's going to space,' added @gtothet123. While @KarenQuinn1973 said: 'On its way to being the best series of all time.'
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
