With only a five days left until the final, Big Brother has announced a huge new eviction twist that is sure to leave the house reeling.
The ITV2 show revealed that the housemates will be making their nominations face-to-face for the first time this series.
The three most nominated housemates will then be immediately evicted, sending shockwaves through the house.
However, Big Brother has another jaw-dropping twist in store, as the three evicted housemates will not actually be sent home.
Instead, they will be taken to a secret Task Room to monitor the remaining contestants and spy on the fallout of their exits.

Won’t see it coming: The three most nominated housemates will then be immediately evicted, sending shockwaves through the house
Viewers will be given the chance to save one out of the three, with the other two not chosen being sent home.
The last remaining housemate will then get to re-enter the house and confront their co-stars, likely causing fireworks.
The show’s official Twitter posted: ‘HUGE NEWS… The final week of Big Brother is set to be the most explosive yet.
‘Right now the Housemates are making their first face-to-face nominations of the series, with the top three most nominated facing a shock IMMEDIATE Eviction.
‘However, little do they know that instead of being sent straight home they will be sent to a secret Task Room to monitor the other Housemates and hear the fall-out from their ‘shock departure’.
‘You will then have the chance to vote to evict two of these Housemates, with the saved one RETURNING to the House to confront those that evicted them.
‘The battle for the £100K cash prize is well and truly on!’

Brutal: Spin-off show Late and Live later aired a sneak peek into the nominations, with Jordan choosing to vote for Jenkin
He stood and brutally said: ‘No surprise, but my first nomination is Jenkin. You’re not my cup of tea, I’m not your cup of tea.
‘I feel quite undermined in some of the things you say. You seem more bothered about the bloody triangle or square, whatever the hell it is, than I am. So yeah, that’s it I suppose.’
Viewers at home were divided over the eviction shake-up, with some saying they were excited to see the classic twist return, while others said it was too late in the process and predicted the housemates would see through it.
One person tweeted: ‘Love that they brought back BB5’s bedsit for this his eviction twist. Now this is classic BB’.
While another echoed: ‘Yessss! “Evicted” housemate’s that aren’t evicted. Finally!!’ and a third agreed saying: ‘All the good bits of #BigBrotherUK being squeezed into the final week. It’s going to be so chaotic’.
A fourth added: ‘LMAOOO BIG BROTHER ARE SICK, not them making the house happy and all fun and vibes just for the next few days to be PURE CHAOS and DRAMA, oh they are so down bad and SICK’.
But another fan argued: ‘They should have done this twist ages ago if they were gonna do it when a lot of the big characters were still in , I really don’t see much drama happening from the people left’.
A second said: ‘Big Brother producers drawing up last minute convoluted twists for the final week that will inevitably fall flat.’
Can’t wait! Viewers at home were divided over the eviction shake-up, with some saying they were excited to see the classic twist return
They then went on to add: ‘And not enough time left for it to have any kind of meaningful impact. This is a mid-series twist not a final week twist. And evicting 3 in one go is only going to make everyone suspicious anyway.’
But several fans came to Big Brother’s defence, with one penning: ‘I dont get why people are fuming. Face to Face nominations and a fake eviction are both classic BB moves. Im so excited for this!’
Someone else echoed: ‘Am I the only one not outraged at this twist? It was clear 2 more had to be evicted out this week, so I like that they’re making a big twist out of it instead of just showing them the door. Plus it’s not really the ‘secret house’ twist when two of them WILL be evicted!’
It comes following the announcement that Celebrity Big Brother is returning to TV screens in 2024 following the success of the civilian series.

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.’
YINRUN

AGE: 24
PROFESSION: Doctor
FROM: Isle Of Man

FROM: Cotswolds
HOW WOULD YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? ‘I think they would say I’m particularly sociable and very chatty.

They’d say I was quite a peculiar child.’
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.’
