Celebrity Big Brother: The stars reunite with their loved ones

Thursday’s edition of Celebrity Big Brother saw the final housemate be eliminated before tonight’s final.

However, it wasn’t a traditional eviction. It was a backdoor eviction, meaning they didn’t walk out to a crowd, but literally out the back door!

Before the eviction, the housemates got a special treat as they were reunited with their friends and loved ones.

David Potts was reunited with his best mate, while Louis Walsh was reunited with Sinitta. Colson Smith got to see his mum, and Fern Britton got to see her daughter, Winnie.

Nikita Kuzmin, meanwhile, got to reunite with his girlfriend.

Bradley is eliminated from Celebrity Big Brother before the final

However, when Bradley Riches went out to meet one of his loved ones, there was a twist.

Instead of a loved one meeting him, Bradley was met by AJ Odudu.

AJ then revealed that the public had been voting – and Bradley was the seventh contestant to be evicted from the house.

He got to go back in to say his goodbyes and got to gush over his time in the house in the diary room.

It’s safe to say that Bradley’s fellow housemates were shocked – and so were viewers.

As Bradley left via the diary room, fans took to Twitter to react.

Fans gutted as Bradley leaves

Fans were left gutted by Bradley’s shock exit.

What the [bleep] #CBBUK how can you do this. Literally in tears for Bradley,” one fan tweeted. 

“What. the. [bleep] WHY BRADLEY,” another wrote.

[Bleeping] brutal! My heart hurts for Bradley what a horrible way to go, didn’t deserve to leave like that,” a third said.

“I have never been emotional for a #cbb eviction in my life until today,” another fan tweeted.

However, some fans were not happy with the method of Bradley’s departure.

How cold and harsh to treat #Bradley that way! He definitely deserves to see how loved he is by the public! What a kick in the teeth,” one fan said.

Ofcom complaints

Viewers have also revealed that they’ve flooded broadcasting regulator Ofcom with complaints.

One said: “I need to talk with the people of Ofcom because that eviction was brutal.” Another added: “Hellooooo Ofcom!” “Y’all gonna wake up to so much Ofcom complaints tomorrow,” predicted a third.

“Should be reported to Ofcom,” said another viewer after his eviction. “Bradley stans should report Celebrity Big Brother to @ofcom again!!!” another commented. “In tears over Bradley’s eviction. That was so unfair and so cruel. For the first time ever, I’ve made an Ofcom complaint. That was so unbelievably cruel,” another said.

Not everyone felt the same, though: “All you youngsters coming out saying Bradley’s eviction was cruel, my goodness, let’s go back to the Channel 4 series! You’d be phoning Ofcom every night.”
