Tensions are reaching boiling point in the Big Brother house as several of the housemates clash on Thursday’s episode.
Olivia and Farida lock horns over the shopping budget after the dancer, 25, suggested those who were in the ‘bottoms’ during this week’s task should get priority over choosing what they want.
Paul says: ‘Let the people who got to cook decide.’
Olivia interjects: ‘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 but a lot of the bottoms feel the same way and some of the Middles feel the same way.’
Tension: Olivia and Farida lock horns over the shopping budget on Thursday’s Big Brother
Awkward: Olivia suggests people who were in the ‘bottoms’ group during the task should get top priority but Farida disagrees
Farida says: ‘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 replies: ‘What? Eating like a king? Aye, that would be f*****g difficult wouldn’ it?’
Kerry then walks away from the group saying: ‘Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.’
Tom and Jenkin both go upstairs and vent their frustration with Jenkin saying: ‘I just don’t care.’
Tom adds: ‘You can’t f*****g say anything without getting your f*****g head bitten off1’
Meanwhile, Farida and Kerry have made no secret to Big Brother that they’re clashing with one another.
Speaking in the diary room about Kerry being promoted in the shopping task, Farida says: ‘She might be proud that she’s been promoted because she’s even higher than the middle management and that title will make her feel extremely honoured.
‘However, I hope it’s full of tasks as in counting rather than working her mouth but working her mindset, her brain, her hands.’
Venting: Tom and Jenkin both go upstairs and vent their frustration with Jenkin saying: ‘I just don’t care’
Later that day, Farida, 50, and Kerry, 40, are talking to Olivia about cosmetic procedures. Gesturing to Kerry, Farida says: ‘Our generation never did it. We weren’t aware.’
Kerry turns to Jenkin and says: ‘I’ve never felt so old. Our generation?’
It comes after Kerry and Farida clashed during Wednesday night’s episode, again over the shopping task.
While Kerry thought the orange team should have the job of making the list, to lift the spirits and up the morale, Farida was quick to hit back at her idea.
Kerry said: ‘They’re really feeling it in there [the orange team], because It’s been quite a hard day for them.
‘So what about we say to them, they’re in charge of the shopping budget?’
Taking a long minute to reply, Farida said: ‘It’s a task at the end of the day. For some people sitting in there doing nothing, for me, It’s really really hard. I’ve got ants in my pants most of the time.
Kerry added: ‘So you’d like to help them with the shopping, would you?’
Awkward: Big Brother left fans in hysterics as they watched the tense drama unfold between Kerry, 40, and Farida, 50, (pictured) during Wednesday night’s episode
Drama: The NHS manager (pictured) and the make-up artist have quickly become the talk of the town since they started clashing in recent episodes
Farida said: ‘Well the shopping budget should be equally for all of us, end of story. We should all be part of it.
Zak, 28, added: ‘The thing is with me I’m easy going, It does matter to me who does what.’
Farida interrupted and said: ‘I will need to make sure I have my halal food, I wanted to make sure theirs garlic and ginger, requesting lentils for people like Matty.’
Kerry added: ‘We are going to need a structure though because you know the saying, too many cooks for one frog. I think six people will be too many, so can we maybe think about the orange bottom lot being main priority.’
‘The main priority as in for what?’, Farida said.
‘To be the ones that choose, they’ve had a really hard time today’, said Kerry… ‘We’ve all had a really hard time? Everyone one of us’, remarked Farida.
‘I haven’t’, Kerry said.
‘Well you might haven’t but I have certainly felt like I’ve had a tough time’, Farida awkwardly hit back.
Big Brother continues Thursday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

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.’

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: 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.

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.’
