Big Brother fans have admitted ‘feeling horrendous’ after voting out one housemate to save another.

For the first time this season, one star was booted out the house through the backdoor in a pre-recorded segment, instead of during a live eviction.

On Tuesday night, viewers discovered the new Head of House, Emma, had the power to nominate four names for eviction.

She chose Ali, Martha, Khaled and Thomas, and after a public vote, it was revealed tonight that Martha had been eliminated.

In a move that was branded ‘savage’ and ‘evil’ by the other housemates, Big Brother narrowed the housemates down one by one.

Khaled and Ali were the first to be confirmed as safe, with the final ‘trick or treat’ leaving Martha soaked in slime.

‘Thanks for the amazing opportunity, you’ve got a lovely bunch in here,’ she sobbed, walking out.

Fans were left reacting to the shock move, with many saying how thankful they were that Ali was still safe.

‘I feel horrendous for voting Martha out the backdoor but we had to save Ali,’ @heartofmatcha wrote on X.

‘i feel bad for her now. I became an empath,’ @delairr111 wrote.

‘Sorry Martha I just wanted to save Ali,’ @sun_head added.

‘That was AMAZING television and actually really emotional?! So relieved Ali is safe but very sad to see Martha go (especially as Thomas has just said he’s bored in the house),’ @_erinz_ wrote.

Appearing on Late and Live, Martha told host AJ Odudu about the drama in the house that sparked the nomination, including an argument with Hanah.

‘I’m not actually an argumentative person in real life,’ she said.

‘There were a lot of hormones, we’re all girls, we were in a heightened environment, there was a lot going on.’

Speaking about the clash with Hanah, Martha admitted she said ‘some of the wrong things’ but ‘didn’t mean to hurt anybody’.

‘It’s so tough in there,’ she added, saying the lack of showers, tea and coffee didn’t help.

‘I don’t know what happened to me, I just got a bit possessed,’ she said, thinking the public wouldn’t have liked ‘that side of me’.

Martha elsewhere spoke about how close she was to both Ali and Sarah, who was left in tears after the eviction.

‘I really feel this [eviction],’ Sarah sobbed.

‘We had some lovely conversations with Sarah, and she’s somebody that I would have come across before,’ recalling their first chat where Sarah said: ‘I’ve never met a real life lesbian before.’

‘Since then, I’ve just loved her!’ Martha laughed, adding: ‘I hope Sarah’s okay because she’s a really lovely person.’

Ali, Martha, Khaled and Thomas had been made aware of the nominations earlier during tonight’s episode, with Emma explaining her choices.

She said: ‘I chose Martha mostly because the other night, I felt that rather than owning herself she tried to push the blame a little bit onto Hanah.’

Turning her attention to Ali, she said: ‘I’ve got loads of respect for Ali, I love how strong and convicted she is on her feelings and thoughts but I do think Ali has misjudged somebody.

‘I think speaking to her partner the other night has shown her that she might have been wrong about Segun.’

Ali interjected: ‘I mean, I heard him call me a red witch and a wolf so that’s quite difficult and I never had a negative thought about Segun prior to that.’

Emma had been talking about a conversation where Lily had misheard Ali’s partner on the phone, who had said: ‘Tell [Ali] Vivienne said she loves you unconditionally.’

Instead, Lily left Ali baffled by incorrectly repeating: ‘She loves Lily and Segs unconditionally.’

Carrying on with nominations, Emma continued: ‘Thomas, you’re the Housemate I probably have the least amount to do with because we’ve got f*ck all in common, let’s face it but I do love you very much.’

Lastly, to explain her reasons for nominating Khaled, Emma added: ‘I sometimes feel that you’re more aware of the cameras around in the house, maybe it’s that model thing.

‘But we’re in the house to forget about the cameras as hard as that is and I think sometimes you present to the cameras a bit.’

Big Brother continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2.
