CELEBRITY Big Brother viewers think they’ve uncovered a bizarre pattern in this year’s evictions – and it’s all to do with age.
As drama continues to unfold in the ITV house, fans have been poring over the evictions so far and believe the show might be following a secret sequence.

According to some eagle-eyed viewers, the celebrities are leaving in age-descending order.
The latest eviction saw Olympian Daley Thompson, 66, leave the house on Friday night.
But Daley’s exit also added fuel to a growing theory online – that contestants are leaving in order of their age, from oldest to youngest.
So far, the evicted housemates are Michael Fabricant, 74, Mickey Rourke, 72, Trisha Goddard, 67, and Daley, 66.

That’s prompted fans to predict that Chesney Hawkes, 53, and Patsy Palmer, 52, might be next in line.
Meanwhile, younger stars like JoJo Siwa, 21, and Ella Rae Wise, 24, could be safe for now.
Fan account Super TV wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “The celebrities have left this series of Celebrity Big Brother in age descending order: Michael – 74 Mickey – 72 Trisha – 67 Daley – 66 …Chesney is next.”
Theories quickly spiralled, with one fan fuming: “Don’t put that evil on the kind Chesney omg,” while another added: “No!!!!”
Someone else posted: “Interesting… very interesting.”
Some viewers also shared their shock over Michael’s age, with one asking: “Michael is 74?!? Wait WHATTT??? He looks way younger.”
A second added: “Can’t get over Michael is older than all that’s left.”
Speaking to hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best after his exit, former decathlete Daley said: “If you ever get a chance you should spend a couple of weeks in there – it was brilliant.”
However, he didn’t hide his frustration at being nominated, branding his housemates “rats”.
In a quick roundup, Daley discovered he had been nominated four times – once by fellow nominee Patsy, as well as Angellica Bell, Chris Hughes and Donna Preston.
While viewers couldn’t hear what he said, he got visibly annoyed and spoke to the audience as Patsy and Chris argued that he didn’t chip in enough around the house.
He then calmed himself and told AJ and Will: “None of them surprised me because they’re all rats.”
Daley then swore on his son’s life that he did do the washing up and his share of the household chores, pointing at his kid from the audience as he did so.
As well as that, Daley would later take another shot at his housemates, saying: “In there, all you can do, I think is, all I could do is just try and be the person that I am.
“Whereas all the people in there – they’re all performative artists, there are some people who are professional reality stars, if you do that all the time, you know how to play the game.”
Despite admitting being a competitive person naturally, he also said that he didn’t go in with a gameplan himself.
“No, it’s absolutely out of my control. I’d have been happy to come out first or last, on that boy’s head,” he added, pointing to his son.
Daley was the third to be evicted from the house, and fourth star to leave the series so far.
He immediately ran into trouble, later trading jabs on spin-off show Late and Live with guest Tiffany Pollard, saying she ‘had no friends’ for talking as outlandishly as she does.
She later branded him “rotten”.
