Big Brother housemates Farida and Kerry are the first two contestants of ITV’s revival series to face eviction.
Make-up artist Farida, 50, and NHS manager Kerry, 40, face the chop live on television on Friday after they received the most nominations by their fellow housemates.
The news was announced exclusively live on air on Big Brother: Late & Live by series co-host Will Best on Thursday.
Residents of the show’s famous house were forbidden from voting for Olivia after she won immunity having passed her secret mission which saw her successfully convince her fellow housemates she was the least entertaining of the bunch.
Viewers are able to vote for who they want to get the boot via the Big Brother app and they will be grilled by hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best on their exit.

It comes after Big Brother contestants disagreed over who should have priority over the shopping list following a challenge where some housemates received luxury meals.
During Thursday’s episode on ITV2, Hallie collected the shopping list as housemates deliberated on who should lead the order.
This came after an announcement on whether housemates had passed or failed their first shopping task of the series.
Big Bros Ltd, where contestants were split up into a hierarchal format, with those at the top called Big Wigs followed in order by Middle Management and the Bottoms.
Discussing the shopping list, Paul said that the people who cooked should get to decide what went on the list, but Olivia interjected and said the Bottoms should have had priority.
She said: ‘Can I also make a point and it might be controversial? Shout out at me if you want.
‘I do feel like the people who were on the bottom should have top priority over that kind of situation.
‘Feel free to disagree – I know a lot of the Bottoms feel the same way and some of the Middles feel the same way.’
Tension: Olivia and Farida locked horns over the shopping budget during Thursday’s Big Brother
Awkward: Olivia suggested people who were in the ‘bottoms’ group during the task should get top priority but Farida disagreed
Farida responded: ‘I disagree because, to be honest, if I had to do their job, what they did, that would have been a nightmare for me – the Big Wigs.’
Olivia replied: ‘What? Eating like a king?’
As part of this week’s shopping task, fire warden Jordan slept in his uniform in case the Big Brother house was woken by a fire alarm.
In Thursday’s episode, Jordan woke up on his birthday and said: ‘We’re waiting on the fire alarm. I was awake all night waiting for that. The safety of my housemates is paramount to me.’
Jordan was then interrupted by the fire alarm as all the housemates headed into the garden as part of the evacuation procedure.
Before Big Brother announced whether the housemates had passed the shopping task, contestants continued with the challenge and took part in a series of tasks, including counting change and licking and sealing envelopes.
Big Bros Ltd also faced a power cut, leaving three housemates to take part in an electricity-themed task.
Big Brother: Live Eviction airs on Friday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

JORDAN

PROFESSION: Lawyer
FROM: Scunthorpe
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO GET NOMINATED FOR? ‘Being cantankerous and acting as if I don’t want to be there even if I do in my heart. They might nominate me for being disengaged perhaps or not paying everyone an equal amount of attention. They may feel left out but I can’t help that.’
DYLAN
AGE: 39
PROFESSION: DJ

TELL US AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOURSELF: ‘I appeared on a TV show called The Last Leg about amputees – two years before I lost my leg!’
NOKY
AGE: 26
PROFESSION: Banker
FROM: Derby
WHAT MADE YOU APPLY TO BECOME A BIG BROTHER HOUSEMATE? ‘I love challenges. I’ve had so many amazing times in my life, like going to Miss Universe as Miss Great Britain. I like to do something different and I think this is the next challenge I want to conquer. I want to show people what pageant girls are really like and disprove a lot of stereotypes around them. I also show what it’s like being a woman who’s worked in male- dominated fields. I want to show that women are capable of doing anything they want.’
PAUL
AGE: 23
PROFESSION: Security officer
FROM: Liverpool
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO GET NOMINATED FOR? ‘Being the biggest wind up, eating all the food and being the loudest housemate.’
OLIVIA
AGE: 23
PROFESSION: Dancer
FROM: Glasgow
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO GET NOMINATED FOR? ‘I think when people are in that hangry state, that’s when I’ll wind people up and grind their gears. I think they’ll nominate me for being full on, and for my brutal honesty and oversharing of opinions.’
FARIDA
AGE: 50
PROFESSION: Make-up artist
FROM: Wolverhampton
TELL US AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOURSELF: ‘People are always surprised when I say I got married at 43. Or also that I’m an ex-holiday rep in Gran Canaria and Menorca.’
HALLIE
AGE: 18
PROFESSION: Youth worker
FROM: London
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO GET NOMINATED FOR? ‘Being lazy and having an opinion. I’m quite opinionated, I like speaking my mind and not many people like that. I’m quite real.’
YINRUN
AGE: 25
PROFESSION: Customer support agent
FROM: Harrogate
WHAT PART OF THE EXPERIENCE ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? ‘I’m most excited about being surrounded by so many people from different walks of life. I don’t think I will ever live in a house again with so many different kinds of people. I’m from China and I think it will help me be more immersed in British culture.’
CHANELLE
AGE: 29
PROFESSION: Dental therapist
FROM: Llanelli
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO BE NOMINATED FOR? ‘Probably just for being annoying. In Wales, we have this saying, “I’ll do it now in a minute.” So like, if I went to make food and I left a dish on the side, I have all good intentions of washing it but I’d be like, “I’ll do it now in a minute,” and it might be three hours later before I do it. So probably for silly stuff like that.’
ZAK
AGE: 28
PROFESSION: Model
FROM: Manchester
WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH THE PRIZE MONEY IF YOU WON? ‘Pay off my debts and help my family out. I’ve also been saving up to build a park in my village back at home in Thailand because where I grew up, there’s no parks or playgrounds.’
MATTY
AGE: 24
PROFESSION: Doctor
FROM: Isle Of Man
HOW WOULD YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? ‘They would say I’m quite like a lucky person or someone who really wants to experience life to its fullest and do everything that it has to offer. Someone who is kind and fun and doesn’t take life too seriously.’
HENRY
AGE: 25
PROFESSION: Food writer
FROM: Cotswolds
HOW WOULD YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? ‘I think they would say I’m particularly sociable and very chatty. I mean, I’ll be honest, my parents would definitely say I’m a bit of a snob but I take it as a compliment. I think it means you’ve got high standards and good taste. They’d say I was quite a peculiar child.’
KERRY
AGE: 40
PROFESSION: NHS manager
FROM: Essex
WHAT MADE YOU APPLY TO BE A BIG BROTHER HOUSEMATE? ‘I love the programme. It is, for me, the ultimate reality TV show ever. I’ve got multiple sclerosis and so the reason why I never applied before is because I always saw those whacking great big stairs to get into the house. It just felt a little bit unachievable because for the first three years of my illness I was in a wheelchair. When I saw it was coming back and searching for real people from all walks of life, I thought, this is my year.’
