Big Brother viewers were left ‘throwing up’ as they called for Lily Benson’s eviction over her ‘disgusting’ nose-picking habit.
The Chinese takeaway worker, 20, has left fans of the social experiment in a frenzy after she admitted to picking her boogers and eating them.
And despite the other housemates firmly objecting to her unhygienic habit, Lily has continued with her habit on live TV during Friday’s episode.
During a recap on Sunday’s installment, Lily was sat on the sofa after the evictions.
Seemingly somewhat unphased, she was seen sticking her finger up her nose in front of her fellow housemates before eating the contents.

Sharing their thoughts on X, fans of the show wrote: ‘Lily is already testing my patience, how am i supposed to watch 6 weeks of her’; ‘Sometimes I think I’d love to do Big Brother but then I remember I’d be trapped with people like Lily and my miserable self would be walking back out within two hours’;
‘Don’t care if Lily is faking it. Don’t care if Lily has absolutely no self awareness and is actually this annoying in real life. Just care that she’s been in there for five minutes and is already sending everyone else over the edge’; Lily is so annoying I can’t handle 6 weeks of this.’
‘Lily is insufferable already. It’s not even been 48 hours’; ‘I fear I too would be lying on the floor at 4.30am crying if Lily was screaming and waving an Alison Hammond sign around’; ‘Nah Lily is stressing me OUT’; ‘They’re already sick of lily and i don’t BLAME them at all’;
‘Lily has to be faking this, this can’t be how she does life 24/7. Surely she’s tired of herself???’; ‘Can’t tell if Lily is annoying or iconic…’
Lily admitted she had ‘never heard’ of Big Brother, and said she applied to appear on the show as it was her ex’s favourite programme.
‘When we broke up, I saw the advert and I thought I’m going to apply for his favourite TV show and get on it – I didn’t think I would. I also think it will be a cool experience’.
Asked why she would likely be nominated for eviction she quipped: ‘Probably that I’m annoying but I don’t care’.
Before entering the house, she said: ‘People’s first impression of me is that I can sometimes come across as weird and annoying, and yeah, actually, that’s kind of accurate.
‘I love tea, I literally have 20 cups a day, like no joke. If someone’s messing with the old tea bags, I’m going to tea bag someone, no I won’t do that, I don’t have balls, but I’m going to do something, probably nothing.’
Lily was later seen mocking Sarah’s posh accent, before Sarah, 27, broke down in tears after being ‘overwhelmed’ by the big brother experience
During the opening moments of Monday’s show Lily and Sarah were seen already bumping heads as tensions brewed following the shock twist.
After being informed they were not real housemates and would be living in storage, 11 participants were all lumped together in incredibly uncomfortable surroundings.
As a result Lily was seen mocking Sarah’s posh accent, before Sarah, 27, broke down in tears after being ‘overwhelmed’ by the big brother experience.
Taking to X fans said: ‘Cracks already love it’: ‘Housemate beef already????’: ‘tears already’: ‘Sarah struggling, FFS it’s been a few hours, just quit if it’s so hard’: ‘Who had Lily and Sarah beef on their Bingo card for day 1 then?’.
