Big Brother’s Ryan Bradshaw was the first housemate to be evicted from the ITV series on Friday.
Dramatic scenes saw Big Brother tell the 28-year-old Stockport native that his time on the show had come to an end, after just one week.
Meanwhile, Rosie Williams, Dean Smith, and Nathan King survived the public vote and made it through to another week.
Speaking into the house for the first time this series, host AJ Odudu told the contestants: ‘The viewers have spoken, we can now reveal that the first housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house is Ryan.’
Ryan put on a brave face and hugged his fellow housemates as he told them: ‘It’s all good, keep smashing it’.

He then told AJ and Will he was: ‘Gutted to be fair but someone’s got to go first’.
Reacting to the first live eviction of the series, fans took to X to share their opinions on whether the right housemate got the boot, writing:
‘Just saying Ryan got robbed he should never have been evicted #BBUK’
‘Nah, Ran was the perfect person for this eviction. We couldn’t evict Baked potato, Dean and Nathan who all deliver good content and good people #Bbuk #Bbll’
‘#BigBrother I’m not surprised that Ryan was evicted. He is a nice enough guy. But apart from the cake explosion task and stealing a sausage, he was dull and didn’t do enough that was memorable.’
‘Unlucky Ryan, I feel you were hard done by time after time, you definitely have more to offer than some of the others in there.’
‘Ryan is dull. This was the right decision. #BBUK’
‘Yep called it. His VT hurt his chances with a lot of viewers and he just hasn’t been entertaining enough to change people’s minds on him. Right decision imo #BBUK’
The public had been voting for the housemate they wanted to see leave since the four people in the firing line had been announced.

Until Tuesday, the house had been divided into two groups – housemates and non-housemates.
The non-housemates faced a string of challenges in a bid to win a place in the house.
The head-to-head battles gave non-housemates the chance to prove they are a better housemate than one of their housemate rivals.
Those who won entered the house as housemates and no longer faced eviction whilst their rivals went to the storage room and became non-housemates.
Once all the challenges were completed, Dean, Nathan, Ryan and Rosie were left vulnerable and facing the public vote.
Elsewhere in Friday’s eviction episode, Nathan channelled his Royal roots by dressing up in drag, leading him to be branded ‘Demure Diana’ by his fellow housemates.
As he was facing eviction, he declared that he would be ‘going out in style’ with a sensational performance as the housemates put on their very own version of RuPaul‘s Drag Race.

Sarah hatched a plan with some of the other Housemates, as she said: ‘It depends on the energy of the house tonight but I think if the energy is good we should maybe propose that drag competition.’
Martha says: ‘Oh yeah, that would be fun’ and Sarah suggests: ‘I think the boys will be so up for it.’
As Emma gets Nathan into glam she suggests: ‘Why don’t you be called Diana Demure.’
Martha agrees: ‘Yeah, that’s good Nath’ and Nathan asks: ‘Is it? Diana Demure’ before agreeing: ‘Ok that’s it then, christened.’
Dean reveals his drag name is Coco Damol as he says: ‘So loud you’re going to need one.’
Dressed to the nines and ready to dazzle, nominated Housemate Diana Demure AKA Nathan says: ‘If this is my last night I want to go out in style darling.’
As the drag show gets underway Dean announces the performers and says: ‘Let’s bring out our drag queens and kings, it’s… Lady Di.’
As Diana Demure takes to the catwalk in a glittery ball gown and neckerchief she then stands before her Housemates as they give their comments on the performance.

Ryan says: ‘I don’t like it, I love it’ and Emma adds: ‘The greatest f****g discoball I’ve ever seen.’
And while the house has been relatively harmonious since it re-opened its doors on Sunday, Friday’s task finally ruffled some feathers among the housemates, as one of them exposed as believing society is ‘too woke.’
As part of a task, the Housemates take on the circuit as Big Brother informs them that: ‘Hidden among you are hidden connections, shared interests, experience and opinions that you told Big Brother about before you entered the house.
‘You must figure out what connects each of you then lineup in the correct order to complete a human circuit. If correct, you’ll trigger the release of the reward hatch.’
Opinions include thinking protesters should be arrested for disrupting traffic to which Nathan responds: ‘Absolutely, of course they should as a bare minimum, lock them up and learn them a lesson.’
Another opinion shared is thinking Trump should be president but which housemate agrees with this statement and says: ‘he’s charismatic.’
Big Brother continues on Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX

WHY DID YOU APPLY TO BE ON THIS NEW SERIES OF BIG BROTHER? I’ve been a fan for the longest time. I’ve wanted to do it from the age of 11 and never had the confidence to do it. As I got older, I was still obsessed with the show and as soon as it came back it was ‘this is my time to apply’.
