Big Brother has confirmed that Nancy and Sam have received the most nominations ahead of this Friday’s live eviction. But in a shocking twist, the housemates aren’t voting for quite what they think they are.
In Tuesday’s (14th October) episode, the housemates went to the Diary Room one by one to give the names of the two housemates they wanted to nominate for eviction.
Nancy received seven nominations from Cameron, Feyisola, Jenny, Marcus, Richard, Teja and Zelah, while Sam received four nominations from Elsa, Jenny, Marcus and Tate.

Multiple housemates mentioned Sam’s use of code names as a reason for nomination, while some housemates said Nancy received their nomination for not being humble and apologetic enough in the house.
After learning that they were both facing eviction together, Sam and Nancy went for a private chat, where they got emotional about the strong friendship they’ve formed in the house.

“It’s so stupid because we knew it was coming,” Sam said. “Whoever gets through, can survive without the other one.”
“Whatever happens, I feel like I’ve won in life, because I found you,” Nancy agreed tearfully.
But what the housemates don’t know is that Friday’s eviction isn’t real. The ‘evicted’ housemate will be sent to to a secret room elsewhere in the house, alongside two familiar faces.
As revealed last week on Late & Live, two former housemates will be making a return to the Big Brother house, with Friday’s vote deciding which housemate will join them.

As host AJ Odudu previously explained: “On Monday, nominations will take place as normal, and the nominated housemates will face the public vote, but what they don’t know is that you at home won’t be voting for an eviction!”
“No, you will be voting to pick one of the nominated housemates to be fake evicted and secretly whisked away to a secret room,” co-host Will Best said.
“And the three of them will watch all the goings-on in the house before they rejoin them, and they’re gonna have secret tasks. They’re gonna be up to no good! We did say the game is changing, people, and changing it is.”
Big Brother airs on ITV2 and ITVX from Sundays through Fridays, followed each night by Big Brother: Late & Live.
