Big Brother intervenes as explosive row erupts in house

Big Brother housemates were forced to intervene after a huge row broke out once again, with threats of violence prompting a warning from the show.

There has been plenty of chaos in the Big Brother house in just over a week since the show returned to screens. Already, viewers have witnessed heated clashes and a live eviction as personalities continue to clash.

First nominations and eviction

Last night's instalment (September 23) saw the housemates nominate for the first time this series as they told Big Brother who they wished to face eviction this week. After receiving the highest number of votes, Pauline will once again face this week's eviction alongside fellow housemate Chelsey.

Viewers are being asked to choose who should leave as one housemate will be forced to say their goodbyes in tomorrow's live eviction (September 25). But before that, the drama continued in tonight's instalment with more explosive rows and rule breaks forcing Big Brother to dish out the punishments.

Noah's Ark shopping task

For this week's shopping task, Big Brother has transformed the House into Noah's Ark. Each housemate was assigned an animal persona and must take part in a range of different challenges, with Philip and Charlotte in charge as Noah and his wife.

Samuel and Johanne were lions; Pauline and Omar were elephants; Yasmin and Harry were sharks; Chelsey and Frankie were crows; Lynx and Rhianna were rabbits and Rob and Rochelle were bugs.

It didn't take long before things turned sour as tensions started to rise. When tasked with cooking, Rochelle appeared to struggle with her and Rob required to cook for the whole house. Getting increasingly stressed, Rochelle could be heard saying: "This isn't my thing" as she fought back tears. But when served their food, the housemates noticed things were not quite as it seemed.

Heated exchange over chicken

Concerns were raised over whether the chicken was cooked properly, meaning Johanne wanted to cook her own chicken - however this was against the rules. Convinced the chicken was uncooked, Johanne said she was going to put the chicken in the airfryer for a while longer - which was against the rules.

Rochelle fumed: "I don't think you're allowed to... the chicken is cooked." However, Yasmin hit back that people would not eat raw chicken. Stating she wanted to cook her own chicken, Rochelle hit back she was not allowed to, but Johanne fumed: "Who are you talking to? I'm not eating it. I'm not eating it. Now what?"

She added: "Sit your a** down. Who the hell are you talking to? I want to cook my chicken longer - I can do that. Who are you talking to? Your craziness needs to really calm down."

Fuming that Rochelle was "unstable", Johanne then fumed: "It's not my fault you didn't take cooking classes....You started screaming like a crazy woman. I'm not your child." Rochelle replied: "The minute you walked in, you were going to say it was sh*t." Johanne commented: "You need to learn how to cook."

Intervention and warning

After a heated exchange, Johanne said: "You're a self-entitled 80-year-old woman. I'm not the one. Get your old a** together. You old hag!"

The back and forth continued to become heated as Philip was forced to intervene, telling his co-stars to "calm down". The other housemates were stunned by what they witnessed as Rochelle was soon called to the Diary Room. Big Brother then warned Rochelle against threats of violence which was deemed unacceptable.

Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
