Big Brother has announced a huge shake-up that will leave the house in turmoil with less than a week to go until the final.
Following Trish and Chanelle’s exit on Friday, host AJ Odudu, 35, revealed that next week will be eviction week, hinting that several housemates will be eliminated before the finale.
Speaking on Friday’s Late and Live, she confirmed that housemates will be leaving ‘left, right and centre’ and that there will be at least one more round of nominations that will pave the way for a wave of evictions.
Now that the original sixteen Big Brother contestants are down to eight, Eviction Week is sure to shake things up unexpectedly.
The shocking twist was announced after AJ and her co-host Will Best chatted with the final two evicted contestants – following a shocking double eviction.

On Friday night’s episode, both Trish and Chanelle were voted out of the house.
The ITV show has been embroiled in a major row after fan favorite Trish was evicted, leaving fans in an uproar.
Chanelle was the first housemate to be evicted after receiving the most votes to be evicted by the public.
The 29-year-old admitted she felt ‘excited’ to be out of the house after being greeted with boos during her eviction.
Speaking on a spin-off show, she said: ‘I was ready to leave. Honestly, the boredom, the drama, how it’s all magnified. I can’t imagine what’s going on with that booing.’
In one of the most shocking moments of the series so far, fan favorite Trish was also evicted despite the crown outside the house chanting ‘Trish to win’.
The other housemates looked shocked for a moment when her name was called, but she was greeted with cheers from the crowd.
Trish admitted she was surprised she had walked out, but did think her previous nominations could have played a role.

She added: “I’m still a bit shocked. At the same time, part of me thought: this is my third nomination.’
Trish also talked about some disagreements she had at home, especially with Chanelle, Jenkin, Tom and Olivia’s group.
She said: ‘I felt there was a lot of micro-aggressions and judgement. It was pretty constant. Before Chanelle, it was someone else.
When asked if she ever expected an apology from Chanelle after the disagreements they had, Trish said, “I started to understand that with Chanelle, Tom and Jenkin, they had lost so many people.
‘When I spoke to Olivia she was so genuine, there was a lot of reflection. With Chanelle it was like mmm, no. I don’t really feel the sincerity.’
Trish broke her silence later Saturday as she thanked her fans for their “overwhelming love” following her eviction.
After her departure, she posted a message to her fans on X/Twitter thanking them.
Trish wrote: “Guys your overwhelming love is humbling, I love you all so much. Thank you for standing up for me and being my voice.”
