Johanne Cade, the third Big Brother housemate to be evicted from the show, has been flooded with support after sharing an emotional message with fans on social media.
Johanne was evicted on October 2 after going head-to-head with Rochelle in the public vote. The pair had clashed repeatedly since the start of the show last month, with explosive rows often breaking out.
Formal Warning Issued
Viewers often took sides over who they believed was in the wrong, and many complaints were made to Ofcom. Johanne was issued a formal warning from Big Brother after a particularly explosive row with Rochelle, in which Big Brother deemed her "tone and body language as unacceptable".
Despite her exit, the star remains a talking point, with some viewers saying she should return to the iconic house and should not have left in the first place.
Emotional TikTok Message
Taking to TikTok, Johanne shared a video captioned: "Still taking it all in. Thank you for loving me, laughing with me, and embracing every bit of JOHANNE."
In the clip, she fought back tears as she said: "I don't want to cry, so I actually wrote this down so I can just say it in one take. To every single person who watched me, supported me, defended me, laughed with me, shouted at the TV because of me, voted for me and allowed me to be unapologetically Johanne, thank you."
She added: "Walking into the Big Brother house was one of the craziest most incredible experiences of my life. I went in there determined to be myself. Loud, opinionated, emotional, glamourous, messy, funny and completely imperfect and I wouldn't change a thing."
Fans and Famous Faces React
Speaking about the "overwhelming support" after the show, Johanne broke down in tears as she said: "It has meant more to me than you guys will ever know."
She continued: "I may have left the Big Brother house, but trust me, I am just getting started. There is so much more to come."
The support came pouring in from fans, with one writing: "Girl, we need you to get a (good) agent so you can stay on our screen!" Another said: "YOU WERE SOOOOO FUNNY. That house is boring now."
A third commented: "You are the peoples winner", as a fourth added: "You are the greatest housemate in 20 years and you deserve the world."
Over on Instagram, Johanne received support from famous faces including Alison Hammond and former Big Brother star Kerry Riches. Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
