Big Brother viewers have been distracted by the messy state of the house, with some branding the living conditions "disgusting" and comparing the property to "a squat". The complaints come as Pauline and Chelsey prepare to face the live eviction tonight (September 25).
Row over uncooked chicken sparks chaos
ITV's Big Brother has delivered plenty of drama since launching earlier this month, from explosive rows to clear divides and feuds. Just last night (September 24), another row broke out as Rochelle and Johanne went head to head following concerns over uncooked chicken.
Wanting to cook her chicken further, Rochelle hit back at Johanne, saying this would be against the rules for this week's shopping task. The argument escalated when the two started shouting at one another, with Johanne calling Rochelle an "old hag" and Rochelle calling her "nasty".
Rochelle also hit back at Johanne before being called into the Diary Room and warned against making "threats to violence".
Viewers hit out at house conditions
With all the chaos keeping viewers entertained, fans cannot help but be distracted by one background detail, which they say continues to make them feel sick. That detail is the state of the house, with housemates leaving clutter in each room.
Taking to Facebook, one person wrote: "How can BB not sit there and punish them all for the living conditions of the house. Ok they cleaned ABIT last night but my god it's a squat, and putting it on TV is embarrassing. How can adults not know how to clean up and make there home clean. Which it is now there home it's madness."
One person replied: "There should be house rules and that be part of one", as another branded it as "disgusting". A third added: "I don't understand how they can relax and be comfortable and eat and sleep in such squalor." A fourth echoed: "Totally agree, I keep getting distracted by the absolute state of the bedroom, I mean it's disgusting."
Pleas for cleaner house rules
They then continued: "When Big Brother said last night the punishment for talking about nominations would be to clean the house I thought thank God for that. It should be part of the rules to keep it half decent at least !!"
A fifth fumed: "Should be made to tidy bedroom and make beds. Hang clothes in wardrobes", as another penned: "Didn't they normally have to clean every now and then back in the day."
The living conditions were also picked up on The Group Chat spin-off show when hosts GK Barry and Kate Lawler took a secret trip to the house. It's not just viewers who appear to be struggling with the messy conditions, with housemate Rochelle often seen in tears over the lack of cleaning. Earlier this week she was seen crying to Big Brother needing a vacuum cleaner, with last night's instalment seeing her raising concerns over the mess in the kitchen.
The concerns come as Pauline and Chelsey face the live eviction tonight (September 25), with only one housemate being forced to say their goodbyes. Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
