Big Brother viewers have furiously slammed the show’s final twist after it was teased during spin-off Late And Live on Sunday, ahead of next week’s final. 

Fans learned that one – currently unknown – housemate had already chosen a lucky card and was able to take three others into Big Brother’s vault, without realising the one with the fewest public votes would be evicted, after phone lines opened on Friday. 

Once inside the lucky cardholder got two £5k bundles to place in front of the housemate or housemates they thought was safe, and if they guessed right they got to keep the cash, with the scenes set to air on Monday. 

But viewers branded the twist ‘totally unfair’ and claimed whoever came up with the idea should be sacked, pointing out that the three chosen to enter the vault may not have the least amount of votes, with nine housemates remaining overall, and therefore would be prematurely given the boot.

Racing to X they fumed: ‘This is the worst idea ever’: ‘Sack whoever came up with that idea immediately’: ‘Unfair to voters’: ‘So the current 3rd placer could theoretically go over whoever is in 9th! s*** twist!’: ‘You guess need a serious rethink before next year because this is a damn mess’:

‘Why ask us to vote when it could end up with the people we want to stay going because we don’t have any power over who goes into the vault?’: ‘This is ridiculous. So someone who could be favourite to win could be evicted before someone who has the least amount of votes in total? Absolutely not’.

It comes after  Lily Benson and Khaled Khaled were both evicted from the house on Friday.

The housemates were shocked as hosts Will Best and AJ Odudu announced not one but two of them would be leaving in a double eviction.

Lily and Khaled were sent packing while Ali, Emma and Rosie – aka Baked Potato – were saved by the British public.

Lily was lost for words after she left the house, unable to respond when Will and AJ asked her how she was feeling. 

On spin-off show Late & Live, Lily joked she would have wasted the £100,000 prize if she had won the show anyway.

 She said: ‘I’ve been up for [nomination] three weeks so to be saved twice, I’m so grateful.

‘I thought I was going to be out in the first week so to be here in week five, I can’t complain.

But viewers branded the twist ‘totally unfair’ and claimed whoever came up with the idea should be sacked

Pointing out that the three chosen to enter the vault may not have the least amount of votes, with nine housemates remaining overall, and therefore would be prematurely given the boot

 ‘If I was going to win, it wouldn’t ethical because I would have wasted all the money anyway.’

Lily was also told that she received the most nominations of anyone in the house throughout the duration of the show, but she simply shrugged and laughed. 

During his exit interview, Khaled was quizzed about what he thought about Nathan telling him he thought he was holding back for not speaking out about the conflict in Israel and Palestine, given Khaled is Palestinian.

In response, he said: ‘I took offense to that one. When I went into the house, I had a conversation with everyone but him about Palestine and Lebanon.

It was the end of the road for Lily Benson (pictured) and Khaled Khaled as they were evicted from the Big Brother house on Friday

The housemates were shocked as hosts Will Best and AJ Odudu announced not one but two of them would be leaving in a double eviction

‘For [Nathan] to say that, as if I’m hiding from it… I felt like that was a bit offensive. He did apologise and I do forgive him.’

Khaled also insisted there were no hard feelings between himself and Marcello after Marcello saved Thomas over Khaled from eviction while he was Head Of House.

Khaled said: ‘With Marcello, I don’t hold anything against him. I said to him someone might get burnt from it

‘A decision made in five minutes doesn’t mean anything compared to the five weeks we’ve had.’

Lily said she hopes Ali wins the show while Khaled picked Segun as his winner.
