Celebrity Big Brother fans have expressed outrage over a major twist that will see three housemates evicted in a single night, just days before the final. The ITV reality show, which began earlier this month, is set to conclude on or around April 25, leaving viewers complaining that the series is being rushed.
The twist was announced on the spin-off show Late & Live on Sunday, April 20, with Big Brother confirming that the next nominations will take place face-to-face, followed by a triple eviction on Tuesday. The news has divided fans, with many taking to social media to voice their displeasure.
One viewer, @philbri_, said: "Triple sounds a bit rushed. ITV really need to extend CBB by another 10 days and the regular series by 2 weeks..." Another, @matlovesdoctorwho, commented: "Omg that's shocking. Would it not be easier to extend the show by 1 more week instead of 3 week run time why can't it be 4weeks or 5 weeks."
@lizzybeth_11 posted: "Feel that this series is being RUSHED !! 3 weeks is not long enough. Evictions too close together. Crap absolutely crap. Bring back the format from before convid days. Don’t know how much longer a fan from back when it all started can continue to watch."
Of the original 13 housemates, nine remain. Former Tory MP Michael Fabricant was the first evicted, followed by Hollywood star Mickey Rourke who was removed for 'unacceptable behaviour'. Veteran broadcaster Trisha Goddard and Olympic champion Daley Thompson have also been evicted.
