Farida first to go in ITV’s Big Brother

Following clashes with some of her fellow housemates, it was Farida who was first to depart the ITV2 version of Big Brother.

Farida and Kerry had made no secret to Big Brother that they were clashing with one another. So it came as no surprise that the housemates overall nominated the pair to go up for public eviction.

On Thursday, speaking in the diary room about Kerry being promoted in the shopping task, Farida said: “She might be proud that she’s been promoted because she’s even higher than the middle management and that title will make her feel extremely honoured. However, I hope it’s full of tasks as in counting rather than working her mouth but working her mindset, her brain, her hands.”

Later that day, Farida and Kerry were talking to Olivia about cosmetic procedures. Gesturing to Kerry, Farida says: “Our generation never did it. We weren’t aware.” Kerry turns to Jenkin and says: “I’ve never felt so old. Our generation?”

In Friday’s eviction episode age also played a part in the highlights when Farida suggested that Kerry and herself were nominated because the younger housemates had ‘come together’ to vote the older two out. This led to a row between Farida and Olivia when the former felt the latter was laughing at her observation. Several housemates, when nominating Farida, said they felt she ‘spoke down to them’.

Bookmaker William Hill had predicted, due to her controversial interactions, that Farida would be the first to go. The make-up artist from Wolverhampton was the clear favourite at 4/1 to be evicted.
