Big Brother fans have slammed them “worst” backdoor eviction they have "ever seen” after Sam from Skipton was booted off the ITV reality show last night (November 5).
Sam and Nancy were nominated by their fellow housemates earlier this week, with viewers only having 15 minutes to vote for who they wanted to save on Tuesday night (November 4) before one abruptly exited after a fireworks party.
However, fans had to wait until Wednesday’s show to find out who had left.
On the latest episode which also celebrated Teja’s birthday, Big Brother gathered housemates including Richard, Jenny and Caroline in the garden for the end of fireworks night for a dazzling display with a twist.

Big Brother said: “Housemates, it’s nearly time for Big Brother’s firework display. But, before we light the fuse, Big Brother has some news. Tonight is not just fireworks night, it’s also eviction night.”
Big Brother added: “Sam, Nancy, go to the snug now to collect your spectacular eviction outfits.”
In the snug, their pair found blue and red rocket outfits - red for Sam and blue for Nancy.
Big Brother explained: “Sam and Nancy, tonight one of you is about to go out with a bang."
Sam replied: “It’s the only way.”
Big Brother continued: “But, who will it be? If the display matches the colour of your rocket, your time in the Big Brother House will go up in smoke and you will be evicted.
“Sam and Nancy, are you ready? Hit the button in 3… 2… 1… Launch.”
Earlier in the day, viewers saw Sam and Nancy speculating about a looming backdoor eviction for one of them while getting ready in the bedroom.
Big Brother fans slam 'pointless' backdoor eviction on ITV show
However, the first backdoor eviction of the 2025 series didn’t live up to the expectation of some fans because it was “no surprise to housemates”.
Taking to X, this person shared: “This is the worst back door eviction I’ve ever seen and I hope producers see this.
“No surprise to HMs. No suspense. Time to process and say proper goodbye. NOPE. NOT HAVING IT.
“Like it. Retweet it. Tag them. Idc #BBUK.”
Another wrote: “Never been a fan of back-door evictions, but isn’t the whole point that they’re meant to be a shock?!
“Telling them they’re about to be evicted totally kills the drama and makes it pointless! #BBUK #BigBrotherUK.”
One account posted: “Worst eviction ever, the other HM's should have been inside, no chance to say goodbye. I want brutal #BBUK.”
Someone else complained: “Making us wait 24 hours to watch that dry and dull eviction, when they could’ve just done it live last night with time to spare… @bbuk and @ITV have lost the plot.
“So many changes needed for next year… #BBUK #BBLL.”
A second agreed: “They could’ve done this back door eviction live on late and live and we could’ve watched the live feed of the reaction in the house. What’s the point honestly? #BBLL #BBUK.”
Meanwhile, this account chimed in: “i usually hate back door evictions but the way it’s either sam or nancy is so funny to me like yes give them nothing #BBUK.”
