Chaos unfolded on Friday's episode of ITV's The Neighbourhood as the Lozman-Sturrocks family was immediately removed from the show following a heated confrontation. Tensions reached an all-time high during the episode titled 'Keep Your Enemies Close,' where alliances were clearly formed among the competing families.
Jordan's Controversial Remarks
Throughout the competition, Jordan from the Lozman-Sturrocks family had been causing friction with other houses due to his gameplay tactics. This led to the other families distancing themselves from them. During a BBQ, Jordan noticed his family sitting alone while others enjoyed themselves, prompting him to address the group.
He stated: 'What's happened so far in this neighbourhood, I think we can all agree we've had a pretty good experience. But, equally, I think there's been a lot of nasty things happening from other people. Mainly you guys (The Bradons), icing them out, not even bothering to speak to them.'
Alicia from the Bradon family quickly dismissed his accusation, claiming they disapproved of his behaviour and tactics. Jordan responded: 'I'd rather protect my family than get in bed with a bunch of snakes,' which further inflamed tensions.
Earlier Incident with Wendy
Earlier in the episode, Jordan had ignored Wendy from the Pescuds when she greeted him in the square. She remarked: 'Are you really not going to talk to me? We're not at school, Jordan, come on, mate, grow up.' Jordan retorted: 'No, we're not, so maybe you want to stop trying to be a teacher!' Wendy later broke down in tears, confessing she didn't want to get upset over the interaction. When informed of her tears, Jordan apologised to Wendy.
Family Voted Out
Jordan's antics ultimately led to his family being voted out in the next episode, which aired on ITVX and will be shown on ITV on May 7 at 9pm. The Lozman-Sturrocks received the majority of votes, ending their time on the show. In his parting words, Jordan said: 'It's been a pleasure with everyone. You all deserve to win the money for your own individual reasons, and we wish you all the best of luck, and may the best family win.'
The Neighbourhood continues to air on ITV and ITVX.
