Big Brother: Who is up for eviction? How to vote as first live eviction of series takes place

This year’s Big Brother series is barely a week old and it’s already in full swing. We’ve had drama and game twists throughout the week, and while viewers have already seen Emily exit without the fanfare of a live studio audience, tonight’s show will see the first housemate of the series exit the show during a live eviction.

Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s live eviction.

Who is up for eviction in Big Brother tonight?

In tonight’s eviction, it’s a two-horse race to survive as Zelah goes up against Gani. There were no traditional nominations form the housemates this week, with Zelah and Gani both chosen to face eviction by the four newest housemates - George, Richard, Feyisola, and Cameron B.

Zelah was the first housemate to face eviction, after the new group chose him to receive the first ‘evil eye’ from Big Brother. This happened only hours after the new housemates entered the Big Brother house, and they later regretted putting Zelah up for nomination.

After interviewing the rest of the house to make their second decision, George,. Richard, Feyisola and Cameron decided that Gani would be the recipient of the next ‘evil eye’ amid feelings from some that his flamboyant nature was being played up for the cameras.

When is the live eviction?

The Live eviction will air at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX on Friday, October 3. You will be able to watch the episode on catch-up on ITVX, however we aware that voting for the live eviction will close during the live broadcast.
