BIG Brother fans are convinced Rosie and Nathan’s romance is fake after they appeared to take their romance to the next level.

ITV2 viewers insisted their courtship is a ‘showmance’ following the discovery of a used condom in their shared bedroom with the other housemates.

In the opening scene from tonight’s installment, Izaaz asked: “Why is there a condom on the floor?” before the camera cut to a smirking Rosie and Nathan.

The dental assistant, who was renamed Baked Potato following a dare in the first week, said: “I’m coming over here, I don’t give a s**t anymore,” as she made her way to Nathan’s bed.

But fans weren’t buying it and rushed to X, formerly Twitter with their confusion.

One asked: “WHAT TF HAPPENED LAST NIGHT PLEASE WHY IS THERE CONDOMS?”

Someone else said: “This Nathan/Baked Potato romance just feels slightly fake,” with another agreeing: “I don’t care for this baked potato and Nathan romance, I’m sorry.”

A fourth fumed: “Rosie fake AF. Knows a showmance increases your odds of staying in till the end.”

Someone else said: “Sorry but I’m not buying this… it’s giving concocted showmance…”

Shortly afterwards, Rosie was asked by Big Brother whether she had fallen for the pork salesman.

Despite their bedroom PDA, she replied: “He’s fine. If I were to meet him on the outside world, I would not like him.”

She went on to say: “He’s a tall lanky bastard but maybe I am as well.”

Fans were surprised when the pair revealed saucy feelings for one another during Thursday night’s show.

Nathan confessed he felt attracted to Rosie just minutes before she walked into the Big Brother house.

But Lily also leapt in with a surprise kiss.

The romance blossomed between Nathan and Rosie after a fire alarm evacuation where cameras recorded a secret chat.

The pair discussed dating each other when they get out, with Nathan asking Rosie if she’d like to visit a winery together when they emerge from the house.

But viewers have been speculating that it is all little too pre-planned and organised – and there must be more than meets the eye.

Big Brother is presented by Will Best and AJ Odudu and is on its second series on ITV and ITVX.

Lily, Ali, Daze, and Martha were the first four housemates who were chosen to face eviction.

The quartet were the first to be nominated by their fellow Big Brother housemates.

ITV2 viewers cast their votes in droves as they voted to evict the second housemate.

It was climate activist Daze who was revealed to have received the most votes by the presenters.

After the announcement, her fellow co-star dramatically broke down in tears.

Lily was sat next to Daze of the round sofa area and immediately went to hug her best pal in the house.

“It’s going to be fine,” insisted the reality star as she tried to get her house bestie to stop crying.

However, Daze was ordered to leave the premises immediately as she said her goodbyes.

The 24-year-old didn’t seem too bothered as she was resigned to her fate in the social experiment competition.

She enthusiastically made her way onto the platform to be greeted by cheers from the crowd outside.

However, many fans were absolutely gutted by the results as they took to social media in droves to complain about the decision.

Many thought that some of the other nominees should have been eliminated in her place.

On X – formerly known as Twitter – one person suggested: “What an odd choice, should’ve been Ali evicted instead!”

A second stated: “Sad to see Daze go… brought many debates, drama and laughter to the #BBUK house. After tonight I’m afraid I’d have had Martha go. Unpredictable eviction!”

“Daze was such a safe eviction, should have been Ali or Lily,” exclaimed a third fan.

While a fourth user suggested: “This abysmal eviction get ar daze back in.”

And a fifth added: “Out of the four Daze was a distant second behind Martha for eviction, and when I say distant I mean DISTANT.”

Big Brother is available to watch on ITV2 and stream on ITVX.

‘HORRIFIED’ Big Brother fans threatened to turn their TVs off as Lily sucked Martha’s toes during tonight’s episode.

ITV2 viewers couldn’t believe their eyes when 20-year-old Lily performed the ‘grim’ act in the hot tub with her housemate.

Cosied up next to Khaled, she blurted out, “Martha, let me suck your toe,” to which the NHS administrator replied: “No way, that is minging!”

Khaled joked, “She will though,” before Sarah manoeuvred her leg in the Chinese takeaway worker’s direction.

Martha cried: “Lily, no, oh no Lily,” as she did the deed.

She added afterwards: “Oh Lily, I’m so sorry. That is so disgusting.”

Marcello set his toe-sucking price at £8,000 as Lily playfully stuck her foot out of the water, teasing her co-stars to take the offer.

She then turned to Thomas, but he quickly declined her advance.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one wrote: “Sucking toes.. wiping bogeys on people.. Lily is weird i’m sorry.”

Someone else added: “Lily sucking Martha’s toe. I CANNOT DO THIS ANYMORE.”

A third said: “Lily actually sucked Martha’s toe and then asks people to suck her toe.”

One more fumed: “I need Lily gone next week she is so grim with all her screeching and toe sucking.”

It’s not the first time show fans have been left “disgusted” with Lily’s antics.

They previously watched on as she picked her nose and ate her bogeys.

The Warrington-native had been up for eviction tonight, but it was climate activist Daze who was revealed to have received the least amount of votes.

Ali and Martha had also been up for the boot.

“It’s been a tough few years for them,” she added.

Derek died at 56 in January after a lengthy Covid battle.

Kate recently opened up on her first wedding anniversary without Derek following.

The Good Morning Britain star emotionally told The Sun how the special day went following Derek’s passing in January.

Kate appeared at this year’s National Television Awards as she and her children Darcey and Billy collected the gong for Derek’s Story, which followed the final year of his life.

It came just a day after Kate marked what would have been her 20th wedding anniversary to the late political adviser.

She said: “I think everyone says the first year is the hardest, I don’t know if that would be the case, but you do have all the milestones that really trigger memories and that one I found personally very difficult.

“Because, whereas Easter, the kids’ birthdays, we’re very sad with him not with us, that would have been made all about the whole family when he was alive, whereas in this instance it felt like a very personal day between him and I.”

Laverne Cox has shamed the Republican party for “going all-in on their transphobia” this election season.

The 52-year-old actor, who rose to fame playing trans inmate Sophia on Netflix’s prison drama Orange is the New Black, has long used her platform to advocate for transgender causes and inclusion.

Appearing on The Daily Show on Thursday (17 October), Cox took the opportunity to raise awareness of the disinformation surrounding anti-trans legislation and campaigning.

Wearing purple to honour Spirit Day – an annual day to fight anti-LGBT bullying on the third Thursday in October – Cox pointed towards the surge in anti-LGBT legislation across the US, listing off statistics such as the 25 states that banned transgender under-18s from accessing gender-affirming care.

“Thanks for making sure schools don’t teach about sexual orientation or gender identity, because pretending trans kids don’t exist means they disappear, just like pretending climate change doesn’t exist… it disappears too!,” she said, joking, “So I guess we will never know why my t**s are sweating in December.”

Cox highlighted that Donald Trump and the Republican party have spent $65 million (£49 million) on campaign ads peddling anti-trans rhetoric. One of them targets presidential candidate Kamala Harris over her support for gender-affirming care.

One Trump ad highlights comments the VP made in 2019, when she said she supported “surgical care” for trans prisoners. The ad shows Harris posing next to Pattie Gonia, a drag queen. The campaign ends with the voiceover: “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you.”

Transgender rights activists have said the ads “attack trans people” and only intensify the right-wing anti-LGBT rhetoric.

Hitting back at the ads, Cox said: “Do you know how disappointing it is for someone to finally spend $65 million on me and it’s for this crap? I didn’t want hateful attack ads. I wanted a house in the Hills with six walk-in closets!”

Cox then draws the line from the campaign noting that unlike the GOP, she didn’t get her facts from “StraightOutOfTheirAss.com.”

“This is straight out of the bigotry handbook, using dehumanising language on marginalised groups provides a permission structure to attack them, because, when people are rendered no longer human, you can take away their rights, [and] commit violence against them with impunity.”

Cox then made light of the ongoing legal dispute between North Carolina lieutenant governor Mark Robinson and CNN, which reported in September that the Republican left a litany of disturbing comments on a pornography website before entering politics. Robinson has denied the claims that he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and said he enjoys watching trans pornography, and is taking legal action against the outlet.

Cox said: “If you had told me anti-trans politicians were secretly watching – and loving – trans porn, I would’ve said, ‘Duh.’”

“I’m 52 years old and if I had a dime for every conservative man who’s tried to get with me, I could buy that house in the Hills.”

“Turning us into sex objects is just another way of dehumanising us,” she explained. “And I think it’s time to stop dehumanising and start rehumanising each other.”

Cox then showed a map that suggested that top searches for trans porn are all in red states.

“We see you,” she concludes. “We see all of you. All we ask is that you see us, too. And that you pull your damn pants up.”

Cox’s comments come after Republicans have cracked down on trans adults’ access to medical treatments such as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in several states.

Florida governor Ron DeSantis and the state’s Republican-dominated legislature banned gender transition procedures for under-18s, as well as non-physicians such as nurse practitioners issuing HRT prescriptions.

Brandon Wolf, a spokesperson for the LGBTQ+ advocacy group Human Rights Campaign (HRC), told The Guardian: “The Maga [Make America great again] agenda is one of division, chaos and hate.”

“They pit neighbours against one another and try to divide our communities because they don’t have a vision for lifting people up or bringing the nation together.”

A GOGGLEBOX star has revealed her very normal job, three years after quitting the show with her family.

The Tapper family – parents Nikki and Jonathan and children Josh and Amy – appeared on the show since it started back in 2013.

In 2018, Amy Tapper shocked fans when she announced she was leaving to try and find love on Celebs Go Dating – and she has since become a social media star.

But she’s now revealed another job she does on the side of social media.

Amy works as a hairdresser, and shared a playful video from inside the award-winning Hertfordshire salon she works at.

The Gogglebox alum captioned it: “Nothing better than a busy salon to kick start the weekend!!”

In the fun clip, Amy could be seen smacking two cushions together, while someone behind her held up a broom and pretended to play it like a musical instrument.

They danced about to a song and captioned the video: “Busy Fridays got us like…” as Amy stood in a blue jumper behind the reception desk.

Last summer, Amy revealed she had lost three stone in six months.

At this point, she’d been on her weight loss journey for two years, and documented her determination to lose weight in 2021 after she had lost more than three stone.

At the time, the reality TV star had been jumping from one fad diet to another until she turned her life around during lockdown.

Amy had dropped three dress sizes from 26 to 20 by cutting down her portion sizes and dancing around her home.

She soon took to social media radiating with her new found confidence.

And earlier this year, it was good news for the Tapper family as Amy’s brother Josh got engaged.

Sharing a snap of her brother, 26, and his partner Hannah flashing her ring, a delighted Amy wrote: “The phone called I’ve been waiting for and the best news in the entire world.

“My friends are engaged. I officially have a sister.”

She then posted a picture of where the proposal took place – revealing petals, candles and framed pictures of the couple.

Amy added: “Welcome to the family Han, couldn’t wish for anyone better.”

Josh and Hannah are teenage sweethearts who have dated since they were around 17 years old.
