The Big Brother 2024 finalists have been revealed after Sarah Griffiths and Thomas Atkinson were evicted this evening in a shock double elimination.

Fans were also reeling over a ‘savage’ twist, which saw the contestants guess who would be evicted, or lose £10,000 from their prize fund.

Ali Bromley, Emma Morgan, Hanah Haji, Marcello, Nathan King and Segun Shodipo are officially the finalists after tonight’s shock episode, but fans were gobsmacked by the prize fund risk.

‘This is savage lol but also not. Those rule breaks, Big Brother is cashing in lol,’ said @YetTee_x.

‘Nah I’d be p**sed off if I won Big Brother & it was just gambling away my prize money for the sake of it,’ added @__chloeconnor.

‘Taking money out the prize fund again?! Big Brother this ain’t it!’ said @ShanMwah_x.

‘Does Big Brother not have that 100k bc why does he keep taking money out,’ asked @rutho9u.

On Friday night, one of the finalists will be declared the winner of Big Brother 2024 and win a £90,000 cash prize.

Voting for Friday’s Live Final has now reopened via Big Brother app, with viewers asked to vote for the housemate they want to come out as winner of the ITV reality show.

The vote will close during Friday night’s show, when hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best will speak to all six finalists in their first live interview since leaving the Big Brother house.

Viewers got their first double eviction shock last week, when Lily Benson and Khaled Khaled were dumped from the show.

On exiting the house, Sarah reflected on her friendship with Marcello.

‘Although objectively we are so different – I have fashion perhaps he doesn’t – and our background, we are so similar on our cores,’ she said.

‘At first I struggled with not being accepted which perpetuated my feelings from home,’ she explained, saying how Marcello related to her on that level.

‘He’s the one housemate that made me belly laugh loads, the trauma bonding definitely helped.’

Sarah also nodded to last week’’s controversy, when she made a ‘joke’ with racist connotations and was given a stern warning. 

The 27-year-old spa accounts manager from Shropshire was called into the Diary Room after comments she made as a play on the political slogan ‘Stop the boats.’

In a previous shopping task, Sarah, a white woman, described fellow housemate Hanah Haji, who is Black, as ‘gloaty.’

She also made a chant of ‘Stop the gloats!’, a spin on former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s ‘Stop the boats’ campaign, which saw him vow to ‘swiftly remove’ anyone who enters the country illegally by implementing a new law. 

‘I felt so awful someone could be so hurt and offended by something I said,’ she reflected on exiting the house, adding that she was grateful Hana gave her ‘time and grace’ to explain she meant no ill harm.

Big Brother: Live Final airs Friday, 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
