The finalists of Big Brother have been revealed as Ali, Emma, Hanah Marcello, Nathan and Segun.
Tuesday night saw Sarah and Tom become the ninth and tenth housemates to be evicted in a shocking and brutal twist.
The pair were joined in Big Brother’s vault by Segun and Nathan, but Sarah and Tom received the least amount of votes from the public.
They were brutally sent home together through the back door just days before the live final.
On Friday night, one of the finalists will be declared the winner of Big Brother 2024 and win a life-changing cash prize of £90k.
Big Brother finalists are revealed after a shocking last-minute double backdoor eviction leaves six housemates standing

Voting for Friday’s Live Final has now reopened via the Big Brother app, with viewers being asked to vote for the housemate they want to win Big Brother. The vote will close during Friday night’s show.
Viewers will watch hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best crown the winner of Big Brother 2024, as well as speak to all six finalists in their first live interview since leaving the Big Brother house.
It comes after Baked Potato was brutally sent home through the back door and torn away from boyfriend Nathan on Monday, just days ahead of the grand finale.
The dental ᴀssistant, real name Rosie, received the boot after being chosen by Segun during what furious viewers branded ‘totally unfair’ and a ‘s*** twist’.
After picking the lucky card, Segun picked Baked Potato, Nathan and Ali to join him in Big Brother’s vault, knowing the housemate with the fewest public votes would be evicted.
Once inside he was given two £5k bundles to place in front of the one he thought was safe from the boot, and if he was right would be allowed to keep the dosh.
Seagun correctly chose Ali, pointing out she had been saved by viewers numerous times, and Big Brother informed him he was now £10K richer, before confirming Baked Potato had the least amount of votes and would be leaving immediately.
She hugged boyfriend Nathan before saying her goodbye and reᴀssuring him it would only be a week before they would be reunited once again.
Taking to X viewers fumed: ‘In retrospect, That task was a dud firework’: ‘The public really don’t have much control over this series’: ‘SACK YOUR PRODUCERS!!’:
‘Don’t know how to feel about the #bbuk twist. One part of me thinks it’s genius. The other part thinks totally unfair that someone who potentially had enough votes to be a finalist has gone’.

‘Surviving ITV’s Big Brother is taking a toll on us fans. If you don’t understand the show, give it to a broadcaster that does’: ‘This was a really s*** twist no matter who got evicted tbh’
‘The fact Rosie never got her redemption moment with the crowd giving her the cheers she actually deserved will always annoy me about this series. s*** twist really, let’s be honest’.
When the vault twist was teased on Sunday, fans pointed 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’.
Fans previously slammed baked Potato and Royal butler Nathan’s as thing heated up quickly between the unlikely lovers.
It comes after Lily Benson and Khaled Khaled were both evicted from the house on Friday.

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.
