Big Brother 2024 winner Ali Bromley has said she hopes one current housemate is 'OK' after describing some scenes in the latest series as 'difficult to watch'. The ITV reality show is approaching its final week, with a double eviction scheduled for Friday, October 30, as part of a Halloween special.
Ali Bromley joins The Group Chat
Ahead of that episode, companion show Big Brother The Group Chat welcomed Ali, who won the 2024 series despite later admitting she nearly quit part way through. She joined hosts GK Barry and Kate Lawler to share her views on the current housemates.
During the conversation, Ali predicted that Philip and Rhianna would be the next to leave. She also described the self-proclaimed 'Queen of Scottie Road' from Liverpool as 'the most relatable' after he was spotted eating snacks in bed.
Frankie's coming out journey
Ali commented: "We've all been there with our chocolate bars, hoping for better days." Later, GK Barry turned the discussion to Frankie, noting he has been coming out as bisexual "slowly but surely" and had told Catrin that night, which GK believed Catrin already knew.
Kate asked Ali for her thoughts after recent scenes showed Frankie revealing he had felt hatred towards himself and ashamed about his sexuality. Ali replied: "I think you can see it in the way he talks about bisexuality. I think, as a viewer, that's been difficult to watch at times. Because if you are gay and you've been through the process of coming out and you have those feelings yourself and you've worked through those feelings yourself and you've worked through them, seeing somebody else still holding some of that hostility can feel a bit uncomfortable."
She continued: "So I feel like that's been a bit tricky to watch sometimes, and these moments where he's been coming out have felt a bit raw and probably bring something up for people that are watching as well. I hope he's OK. I'm not sure what he hopes to achieve by coming out in these dribs and drabs throughout the series."
GK suggested Frankie could be 'getting used to' coming out. Ali responded: "A real baptism of fire. I feel like if you're not fully there in your self acceptance like wow, that's like a hard, hard journey."
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
