Big Brother 2022: Snap eviction sends devastated fan favourite Reggie Bird pack her bags

Monday night’s Big Brother eviction had longtime viewers of the show in tears as fan favourite Estelle was sent home.

However, in true Big Brother fashion, the eviction was suddenly deemed a double – meaning fellow OG player Reggie Bird was also shown the door.

However, everything was not as it seems, with Big Brother unveiling his biggest “bombshell” yet.

It all started when Taras made a bold move, nominating the three ‘OG’ players Reggie, Tim, and Estelle.

“To be here with these two has just been a wonderful journey – out of hundreds of past Big Brother people, to come back – it’s just really special,” Reggie said.

Taras insisted, in front of all housemates, that Reggie was a safe vote, explaining, “we don’t want Reggie to go, we love Reggie”.

“Reggie’s the queen … she’s touched the hearts of so many people with what she’s had to battle,” Johnson added.

The vote then came down to Estelle and Tim.

It was Tim’s first nomination after 56 days in the competition – and it was Estelle who was sent packing, with four votes.

As Estelle made her exit and the remaining housemates celebrated being one step closer to the end, they heard something unusual.

“This is Big Brother,” the all too familiar voice began.

“Housemates, this eviction is not over. Tonight it’s a double.”

“This is disgusting behaviour,” Aleisha said.

The remaining housemates were forced to re-vote and this time Reggie was evicted.

Reggie put her hands to her face and began to cry, as the remaining housemates looked on gobsmacked.

“Oh Reg, I didn’t think it would go this way,” Tim sympathised.

It appeared Brenton had voted for Tim, while Aleisha and Johnson had voted for Reggie.

As Reggie left, Tim addressed the group, saying: “Oh guys, I don’t know if you should have done that.”

Aleisha went on to justify her vote, arguing it was solely due to her “respect for the game”.

As a heartbroken Reggie – suitcase in tow – made her way to the house’s exit, Big Brother made his presence known.

“On a day full of bombshells, a double eviction was only fitting, but I saved my best bombshell until now,” the voice said.

Suddenly, a hidden door opened to reveal an arcade-styled room with Estelle waiting inside.

“Reggie, was it a double … they evicted you?” Estelle asked.

“They’re all full of crap,” Estelle said as Reggie nodded.
