Big Brother housemates Phillip and Rochelle have clashed in a fiery argument during the latest episode of the ITV2 reality show, with fans convinced they know the real reason behind the row.
The House of Power kicked off during Sunday's (October 11) episode, and it wasn't long before a dispute broke out between the pair. During a conversation with house guest Gemma Collins, Phillip and Rochelle discussed Twinks moving into 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."
Row erupts over 'liar' accusation
A furious Phillip hit 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."
The row didn't last long, and they quickly made up, much to the amusement of their fellow housemates. But some fans have been left wondering if Phillip is "turning on" Rochelle because he heard 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."
Fans back Phillip for the win
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."
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 argument between the friends comes just days after Rochelle said she 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 shared 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 had to pick two team captains; she chose Sam and Rob, and they then had to decide who they wanted on their teams in preparation for the head-to-head battles that lie ahead.
The winning team gets power of the house until the next game and are the only ones allowed to use the kettle, toaster, air fryer, hot tub and hair appliances. The losing team must do 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.
