The second contestant has been evicted from the Big Brother house this evening, following the public vote.

On Wednesday night’s episode, it was revealed that Zak and Henry had received the most nominations from the rest of the Big Brother 2023 housemates, and were therefore up for eviction.

The public were asked to vote for the contestant they wanted to see leave, and on Friday 20th October hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best revealed the contestant who’d be going home during the live eviction.

The contestant follows behind Farida, 50, who became the first housemate to be voted out of the show this year following the launch on Sunday 8th October.

Farida faced NHS manager Kerry, who had also received a considerable amount of nominations from the other housemates.

Farida, 50, from Wolverhampton was the first contestant to be kicked out of the Big Brother house for the ITV reboot.

The make-up artist was the second contestant to enter the house after Jenkin, 25, from Bridgend.

Describing herself as a “very proud muslim” who “loves praying five times a day”, Farida joined the show as she felt Asian women were underrepresented on TV.

“I’m very proud of who I am and I feel like Asian women and Asian culture is underrepresented on TV. A lot of people think that wearing a headscarf might stop you from having opportunities, whereas for me, it’s been completely the opposite. I embrace it with confidence and it’s actually given me lots of opportunities. I want to let people know that us Muslims, we really aren’t suppressed. I’m far from suppressed – I used to be a holiday rep!” she said.

Farida clashed with a few of the contestants during her time in the house, including Olivia and Kerry. Olivia complained to the other contestants after Farida ate some of her fish from her plate, while Kerry was unimpressed when Farida revealed that she has online channel on which she shares beauty tips.

“To watch you?” Kerry asked in disbelief.

“Yeah! My video all go viral. I’ve got like 300, 400,000 views just on one video,” a defiant Farida replied.

Big Brother airs weekdays and Sundays at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
