Former Big Brother housemate Chelsey Ammari has spoken out after watching Monday's episode, in which Omar El Mayer and Rhianna Collins seemingly ended their televised romance. The 29-year-old, who lived with the current housemates for two weeks before her eviction, described the scenes as "really uncomfortable to watch" and said she wished she was in the house to comfort her close friend Rhianna.
During Monday's (October 19) instalment of the ITV2 programme, Rhianna began questioning her connection with Omar after noticing a shift in his behaviour following last Friday's eviction. She voiced her concerns to the 21-year-old, but he brushed them off, telling her that he hasn't been "acting weird" and that her feelings "are not facts". After some back-and-forth, Rhianna seemingly broke things off and suggested they should be friends.
Emotional Fallout and Fan Reaction
Omar was left furious by the split, later telling his partner "you've really f**** me off". Meanwhile, Rhianna was seen in tears as she confided in her co-stars throughout the episode. Fans quickly gathered on social media to discuss the couple's 'break up,' with Chelsey sharing her own verdict on TikTok.
She shared: "That was really uncomfortable to watch. I struggled to watch that and I wish I could speak to Rhianna and be like 'This is not okay'. That was really, really hard to watch." Viewers at home also expressed discomfort while watching the scenes, and Big Brother even stepped in as the duo discussed their split in the storage room.
Heated Exchange in the Storage Room
During the chat, an emotional Rhianna admitted: "I don't wanna be bad with you because I care a lot about you." Omar then replied: "This conversation right now isn't me chasing you." He went on to add: "I just want to understand what this is all about because at the end of the day I ain't done nothing but be nice to you. So don't lie. Don't sit in my face and tell me I've been weird, I've been this, I've been that. I have checked up on you, I have asked if you're okay."
Rhianna then started sobbing, prompting Omar to say: "Don't cry. This is not a crying thing. We're not here to cry over this. Otherwise, we're just never gonna get over it. We never will." Chelsea-based Rhianna then explained: "You've been acting weird with me. If you don't feel that way, fine, you don't feel that way." And Omar once again defended his corner, arguing their split was down to "miscommunication".
Omar's Outburst and Reconciliation
The Londoner went on to air out his true feelings about Rhianna breaking up with him. "You've really f***** me off by saying what you said," he explained, before adding: "I am not a loser. You really got a rise out of me. Well done. You f****** earned it."
Big Brother soon put an end to the conversation by calling Rhianna to the Diary Room, but she made sure to apologise to Omar before she left. Despite their emotional clashes throughout the day, the couple were shown cuddling up in bed together by the end of the episode. Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
