Celebrity Big Brother fans were left confused during Thursday’s episode as Marisha Wallace and Levi Roots broke down in tears after nominations took place.
Viewers took to social media to vent their frustrations at the celebrities getting emotional about nominating their fellow housemates so soon after meeting.
Levi, 65, first nominated Zeze Millz, calling her out for saying that it is her job to make people uncomfortable. His second nomination was for David Potts as he felt they had not connected and claimed the reality star picks and chooses who he speaks to.
But it all got a bit much for Levi, who then asked to have a few seconds before leaving the diary room, putting his head in his hands and crying.
Later Marisha, 38, headed in to nominate and chose Lauren Simon and David before getting emotional when she headed back into the living room.

‘I didn’t realise it was going to be that intense,’ she told the other housemates, wiping tears from her eyes.
‘It’s crazy I usually don’t care,’ she said, as Zeze put her arm around her shoulder. ‘Why do I care so much it’s stupid. I feel bad.’
But CBB fans were not particularly sympathetic to the housemates’ tears.
‘These lot be so emotionally unstable and it’s only day 3 …,’ one person said on X, formerly Twitter.
‘Makes me laugh when they cry about nominating three days in as if they’ve been family for weeks,’ said another.
A third wrote: ‘What is with all the tears over these nominations? Like yous have known each other for 5 minutes.’
A long-time fan of the show added that the crying was something they never understood. ‘Almost 50 series later & I still don’t understand why people cry when they have to nominate… it’s part of the game,’ they wrote.
‘Not another cryer,’ someone moaned, while another slammed Marisha’s sobbing as ‘crocodile tears’.

Earlier in the show, Ekin-Su Culculoglu discussed the backlash she received when she wore a racy costume during her Dancing On Ice stint.
The former Love Island star, 29, sparked 112 Ofcom complaints for performing a racy routine in a daring sheer outfit on the family friendly series.
After she was criticised for her skimpy ensemble, Ekin-Su covered her modesty and swapped the racy outfits for a nun costume – which she received zero complaints for.
Speaking about the ‘pressures women face’ for having to look a certain way, Ekin-Su recalled the controversial moment during Thursday night’s CBB.
She said: ‘There’s a pressure for women especially. When I did Dancing On Ice, perfect example right, I got criticised for an outfit I was wearing on the first week.

‘Because it looked like it was see-through on some parts, but it was a unitard. So when I dressed as a nun from the Sound Of Music, I got through.
‘And I thought, “okay I get it now”.’
Ekin-Su brought fire to the rink in 2023, stepping out in a nude mesh jumpsuit with a dramatically embellished detail on the ITV skating show.
The ensemble was a recreation of the one Britney Spears wore in her Toxic music video – which the reality star was dancing to.
