Former Big Brother contestants – now out of the house, given that filming has wrapped – have been providing regular commentary via social media about what viewers are now seeing on their TV screens.
Tim’s ‘Amber Heard’ comment was in reply to a tweet from Estelle, who had said some “context” was needed for her actions in the house.
Estelle was referring to the episode which aired on Monday night, in which she was openly campaigning for Drew to leave the house.

“For context. You didn’t see what had been going on with Drew and I for weeks. We were not getting along because I feel like he was being particularly unkind to Lulu,” she began.
“Tully and I would also routinely cop it from Drew & Tim if they needed a punching bag.
“I didn’t just ‘have it in for Drew’. Once he was aware that he was upsetting Lulu they talked it out.. it evolved, it was nice.
“But when you have a game where you like everyone, it is easier for heart players like me to make game decisions based on stuff like that. I’m loyal.”

Tim retweeted this comment and wrote: “You are Big Brother’s Amber Heard. Cancel yourself and go away!”
As fans began to call out Tim’s comment, the 2013 winner backed it up, claiming that Estelle’s ‘punching bags’ comment “didn’t happen”.
The comment from a fan said: “What the..? Was Tim hacked or something? Because this is NOT OKAY. I’m sorry Estelle you don’t deserve this. “
Tim responded: “Not hacked. Calling out her continual creation of false narratives in Drew and I. Not cool as she alludes to Big Brother omitting us using her as our ‘punching bags’. Didn’t happen.”

Other comments from unimpressed fans included, “You’re the one who’s getting cancelled now Tim… Delete this tweet and apologise mate”.
Estelle later responded to Tim’s comment, “Wow Tim. Just wow”.
Tim deleted the comment but continues to tweet about the show.
On Wednesday, Estelle tweeted that she “appreciates all the support” and “chooses peace”.

These episodes have not only been big for Tim and Estelle but for Tully, who made a strategic move by voting for longtime friend and ex-boyfriend Drew to be evicted.
Tully released a lengthy statement, explaining it’s the “last thing” she’ll say about the episode.
“Big Brother is supposed to be a fun experience – and it was, 90 per cent of the time – but I was certainly being challenged,” she began.
“I was on the back foot from the moment I entered the house, alone and late.”

Tully said that during Wednesday night’s episode she was torn between her head and heart.
“I went in with intentions to prove myself, doing something on my own, but I also had to be true to my values and integrity… I still cared what happened to Drew, as my friend of nine years.
“Making the decision to vote for him was hard because it felt counter intuitive.
“I want the best for him, always… but I also wanted him to leave so I could finally stand on my own two feet, play my own game without having to do him any favours or worry about his position.
“Just because people may not understand that doesn’t change who I am.”
