Philip has sparked backlash among Big Brother viewers after sharing his true feelings about fellow housemate Rochelle during the latest episode. The show returned to screens on Thursday, October 15, ahead of the next eviction.
Yasmin, Twinks and Rob will all face the public vote on Friday night, October 16. Yasmin received a killer nomination this week, while Twinks and Rob each received six nominations from their fellow housemates.
Task Drama and Tension
The housemates tackled another shopping task during the episode, as the house transformed into Big Brother's body. The teams were given various challenges to determine who would be awarded the luxury shopping budget, while the losing side had to face basic rations.
Drama quickly ensued when Rochelle upset Harry during the task, leading to him storming out of the living area. Harry was supported by his fellow housemates as he broke down in tears in the bathroom.
Philip's Whispered Confession
But the tension didn't end there, as Philip later shared his true feelings about Rochelle, who he has appeared to be close with in the house. During a whispered conversation in the garden, Philip told Lynx: "Lynx, I have wished for her to go.
"So, if she f****** goes, because it's got that way now. I haven't got no time for her. I haven't, I'm telling you, I'm speaking honest with you. That's why I have time in bed, because I want to stay away from her. And that's no word of a lie that."
Philip went on: "Rochelle has said too much... And it's funny what she kept saying to me and all. She'd say, 'You're my best friend in here.' She said, 'You'll never turn on me, will you? Never turn on me.' She kept saying that to me. She's got too f****** much to say."
Lynx added: "And it's never-ending. And like you make such a pure soul like Harry get like that today, and then you come in the bathroom and make it about you. It's just sometimes you just have to think about what you say."
Viewer Backlash
Philip continued: "See, she's had a very privileged [life] from a child. I think she's been spoiled, and I think she's got away with everything. Everything she wants, she got. She never wants to listen about you, about your life, about your things. And do you know what? I'm not really interested and I don't want to tell her."
Lynx then said: "Since Sam went or like, when he was giving his reason to vote her, he was like, 'All you talk about is me, me, me.' God that stuck with me." Philip shared that Sam was "f****** right" about what he said, before concluding: "This is what she's like. And come on, Lynx, she's got on everyone's [nerves]. She has. The ones [that have] gone and the ones [that are] here, she f****** has."
Viewers were left speechless after hearing Philip's comments, with many sharing their shock on social media. "Not a good look," one person wrote on X. Another added: "Wow can't believe Philip's now turning on Rochelle. I sense a downfall coming." A third said: "Not Philip showing his true colours after that chat about Rochelle!" A fourth viewer echoed the sentiment, saying: "Philip is giving game player, sorry not sorry." Someone else similarly shared: "Philip turning on his 'best friend' is not what I expected."
Big Brother is available to stream on ITVX.
