Big Brother fans were quick to notice that former housemate Philip was missing from the series final, with many taking to social media to share their reactions.
The latest series of the ITV show came to an end on Thursday night (November 5) after eight weeks of drama, with Will Best and AJ Odudu hosting the live final. Viewers were waiting to find out who would win the £100,000 prize, with Twinks, Rochelle, Yasmin, Samuel, Lynx and Catrin entering the final day following a shock double eviction.
Philip absent from evicted housemates
Early in the extended episode, Will and AJ reminded fans that a special reunion episode would be aired by ITV on Friday, in which the housemates would gather in the house once again to discuss the series. As the camera cut to a group shot of all the evicted housemates, fans spotted Harry, Chelsey, Millie and Charlotte, who quit after two weeks in the house, as well as recent leavers Frankie and Omar. However, viewers noticed that Philip was not in the line-up.
The 53-year-old Scouse influencer, known as the Queen of Scottie Road, seemingly skipped the final and will not feature in the reunion.
Fans react on social media
It did not take long for fans watching at home to share their thoughts. One posted: "Philip skipping the reunion he’s FUMING." Another wrote: "How did I know Philip wouldn't be there. Sat in a corner sulking somewhere." Someone else added: "Notice how Philip is missing."
One viewer commented: "I didn't see Philip there? I did not enjoy him in the house but I hope he is okay and taken care of." Another joked: "No Philip at the Big Brother final. Times must be hard and his friends few."
Big Brother is streaming on ITVX.
