Farida Khalifa and Zelah Glasson became the latest housemates to be evicted in a double eviction on Friday night’s Big Brother.
The makeup artist, 52, and personal trainer, 25, were up against Richard during the tense live show – but both saw their time in the house come to an abrupt end, leaving their fellow contestants stunned.
Following her eviction, Farida sat down with hosts AJ Odudu, 37, and Will Best, 40, to reflect on her whirlwind experience.
Walking out to cheers and flashing a big smile, she declared: ‘Are you ready for the tea? I’m so happy to be out, but I had the most amazing time.’
Moments later, Zelah followed her out, but was met with a far frostier reception from the crowd, who booed as he made his way to the stage.
Taking the reaction in stride, he laughed: ‘I don’t think they like me’ before admitting: ‘I don’t know what to say. I’ve forgotten how to speak.’

Earlier in the episode, tensions boiled over in the house during a heated row about a dirty bowl left in the sink.
Sam, still smarting from learning that pal Zelah didn’t fully trust him, was having a heart-to-heart with Caroline and Nancy when Tate interrupted to demand who the sauce-covered bowl belonged to.
Sam admitted: ‘One is maybe mine because I haven’t washed it yet,’ before quickly denying he was the culprit.
An exasperated Tate was backed up by Marcus, branding the mystery offender ‘lazy’, sparking a full-blown kitchen confrontation.
Sam asked: ‘Is there beans or sauce in it? If it’s mine with no beans in it, then it’s mine. I’m mid-conversation, so I’ll wash it when I’m done.’
Tate shot back: ‘Just wash your plates when they’re done.’
Sam replied: ‘I’ve just finished it now and I’m mid-conversation, so I’ll do it after.’
However, when Tate said he’d give Sam ‘grace’ on this occasion, the remark pushed Sam over the edge.

He fumed: ‘Are you joking me? Oh my God, f*** off, I actually can’t be arsed today.’
Luckily, Marcus later cleared the air with Sam, and all was forgiven just in time for Big Brother to throw the group a spooky Halloween party.
But drama soon flared again when Richard was left fuming after a messy ball-bobbing game saw him dubbed the ‘Antichrist’ by nemesis Caroline, leaving viewers divided over the insult.
The episode ended on a high-energy note as the housemates rocked out to AC/DC’s Highway to Hell, though Richard pointedly refused to join in.
Big Brother airs on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm from Sundays to Fridays.
