Big Brother viewers are calling for one housemate to 'go home' just days before the final (Image: ITV)

Big Brother viewers have demanded that one housemate leave just days before the final.

It's been seven weeks since the ITV2 reality competition returned to our screens and saw a new group of strangers moving into the famous house. This season has been packed with twists and turns thanks to Big Brother's weekly themes and celebrity guests.

And the drama hasn't slowed down during the final week as a fresh feud broke out on Monday night (November 2), after Catrin made a playful comment that left Frankie fuming. While relaxing in the hot tub, the housemates were joking with Frankie because he "can't stand feet".

However, tensions boiled over when Catrin suggested that Frankie was not being honest about his aversion to feet and claimed she had seen him look at Rochelle while she was doing her nails in the bedroom.

Frankie was instantly irritated and replied: "Nah, nah, because like my girlfriend is watching. Don't be saying things like that." He then stormed out of the hot tub and went to the Diary Room to vent his frustration.

Catrin seemed taken aback by her housemate's reaction to the light-hearted joke and later admitted she "felt bad" for upsetting him, although she wasn't sure why Frankie was so furious.

Viewers at home were just as baffled by Frankie's reaction, with some even calling for his eviction. One commented on X: "Nah, Frankie is doing tooo much wtf. Poor Catrin, let's get him out next asap! #bbuk #bigbrother."

While a second viewer fumed: "Omg get Frankie out #bbuk," and someone else agreed: "Honestly get Frankie out, he's so incredibly moody, what does he actually bring to the house. #BBUK."

Yet another fan commented: "I felt awful for Cat! It was a joke, and he made her feel so bad – whereas if someone else said it, I doubt it wouldn't have been a big deal." And a final watcher said: "Frankie, it's never that deep. Go home if you're that worried #bbuk."

The online backlash could spell trouble for Frankie because the public is now in complete control over who takes home the Big Brother crown on Thursday (November 5). The housemates with the fewest votes will be kicked out of the house one by one until the winner is left standing.

Despite the recent wave of trouble, Frankie still has his share of supporters. One defender shared on Reddit: "I think Frankie hate is a bit unfair. I know he comes across a bit hypocritical at times, but to me he's just like a decent lad struggling with who he is, and when he does come out of the house, I don't think he really deserves everyone laying into him."

Someone else agreed: "Yeah, he definitely seems like such a nice guy. He's stood up for Yasmin when Rochelle was making horrible comments to her. However, I just feel like we didn't see a lot of him. The hate is definitely unfair on him"

Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX

Sarah Ferguson is settling back into family life in the UK and is still in contact with ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, it has been claimed.

The former Duchess of York fled the country last year after being caught up in the Epstein scandal, but recently slipped quietly back into Britain. She went to ground following the release of millions of documents about paedophile Jeffrey Epstein by US authorities, which shed new light on her association with him.

But just last week she was pictured for the first time in London in more than a year, when she was spotted attending a memorial service with daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie for close pal, Paddy McNally.

Now, her spokesperson has told PEOPLE that since returning to the UK, she has been spending time with her daughters and five grandchildren.

They said: “She’s resettling here, lying low while she looks at the next stage. She’s happy spending time with her family and focusing on her relocation. She is embracing her family life and seeing her grandchildren.”

It is unclear if she has seen ex-husband Andrew, who now lives on the Sandringham estate, in person but it is understood the two are in contact. The spokesperson added: “They have an ongoing cordial and supportive relationship as co-parents and co-grandparents.”

It is understood that she has since slipped back into the UK and has been keeping a low profile at a new property in the Home Counties. The Mirror has contacted Sarah Ferguson’s spokesperson for comment.

The Epstein scandal hit Fergie in September 2025 when it emerged that she wrote to the convicted sex offender, calling him a "supreme friend" despite publicly disowning him – prompting a string of charities to drop her as a patron. Meanwhile, in documents released in January, Fergie appeared to say to Epstein in an email: “I am at your service. Just marry me.”

Fergie's ex-husband Andrew was stripped of his titles by the King because of “serious lapses of judgment” over his friendship with the late paedophile Epstein.

The pair had lived together at Royal Lodge in Windsor for years after their divorce but are now living apart after the shamed ex-prince was forced out of the property.

Fergie also lost her courtesy royal divorcee title and reverted to her maiden name, and lost the freedom of the city of York, after councillors voted unanimously to remove the honour over her links to Epstein.

Last week, it emerged that detectives are investigating the time the ex-prince, Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell spent at the King’s private estate in Scotland.

Police Scotland said it had received “information” and a probe is at a “very early stage” into the time the disgraced royal spent with the late paedophile financier at Balmoral. The Daily Express reported the inquiries relate to claims that women were trafficked to the estate.

Pictures previously released by the Department of Justice in the US appear to show Andrew and Epstein on a shooting trip at Balmoral.

Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on February 19, his 66th birthday, following allegations that he shared sensitive information with Epstein during his time as the UK’s trade envoy.

Andrew was interviewed under caution before being released under investigation, and denies wrongdoing, with the police probe ongoing.

King Charles needs to focus on rebuilding public confidence in the monarchy after a new poll saw his popularity hit a new low, claims an expert.

A new poll has shown that the King has received his lowest popularity rating since he ascended the throne, with just 58 percent of Britons thinking of him positively.

While the favourability rating is the lowest Charles has received throughout his four-year reign so far, PR expert Mayah Riaz says the King inherited a monarchy that was subject to more criticism than ever before with scandal surrounding his brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the fallout of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle leaving the Firm.

However, the Mirror's royal editor Russell Myers believes part of the the King's dwindling rating could be caused by Harry and Meghan's resurgence in the UK.

PR expert Mayah Riaz told the Mirror: “The difficulty is that Charles has inherited an institution that is under considerably more scrutiny than it was during his mother’s reign. The public are less inclined to accept the traditional ‘never complain, never explain’ approach, and expectations around transparency, accountability and public responsibility have also changed considerably.

“On top of that, I’d say that there is a growing sense of royal fatigue. People are dealing with their own financial pressures and everyday challenges, so when they see the monarchy dominating headlines for the wrong reasons, it creates a disconnect between the institution and the public, who they are supposed to represent.”

Throughout the first years of the King’s reign, he has been forced to deal with a slew of scandals, most notably the arrest of his disgraced brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and the return of his son and daughter-in-law Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the UK.

In navigating both of these dramatic situations, the King has been put in a difficult position between his duty to the Crown and looking after his family, which, according to Mayah, may have contributed to Charles’ dwindling popularity with the public.

“I’d say that Charles has arguably one of the most difficult PR jobs in the country because he is expected to be both a father and a monarch, but those two roles don’t always sit comfortably together,” Mayah explained. “Needless to spell it out, the Harry and Meghan situation presents a completely different challenge. Their return to the UK brings renewed attention to family divisions that the Palace would probably prefer to keep private. But in today’s media landscape, we have seen family disagreements involving the Royal Family rarely stay private for long.”

The Mirror's royal editor Russell Myers added: "Harry and Meghan's move back to the UK was supposed to, in some quarters at least, mark a fresh start. The public clearly hasn't bought it. Their return looked more like royal cosplay than a genuine attempt at rebuilding bridges.

He continued: "It seems a great many Britons agree. Charity visits with all the trappings of an official engagement, coupled with fresh briefings that they were hard done by, have done nothing to win people round. If anything, the closer they get, the less the public seems to like what it sees."

With the monarchy still handling the situations surrounding both Andrew and the Sussexes, Mayah has warned the King that he needs to handle these matters in the right way to appease the public, or he will risk becoming an even more unpopular monarch.

She added: “The danger for Charles is that he becomes the face of every royal controversy, regardless of whether he has personally caused it. He clearly cannot control every family member, but he will ultimately be judged on how he responds to the situations he finds surrounding him.”

Despite the King’s popularity falling in recent months, the recent poll conducted by YouGov shows that the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the notion of the Firm as a whole, still proves to be popular with the public.

“The distinction is important,” Mayah said. “The monarchy as an institution is still relatively well supported, which suggests the public are not necessarily turning their backs on the Crown itself.

“However, Charles’ personal rating has fallen to its lowest point since becoming King. That tells me the public are making a distinction between supporting the institution and how they feel about the person currently leading it.

“What I find interesting is that William and Catherine continue to enjoy considerably stronger popularity ratings. That suggests the appetite for the monarchy is still there, but the public may be increasingly looking towards its future rather than feeling entirely connected to its present.”

Mayah has urged the King to focus completely on his work for the monarchy rather than getting involved with royal scandals, as he works to rebuild Britain’s trust in him as a monarch, rather than seeing him as a crisis manager for the Firm.

“I think the King needs to focus on rebuilding public confidence rather than trying to win a popularity contest,” Mayah explained. “The worst thing the Palace could do is appear overly concerned with polling figures or launch an obvious charm offensive. Instead, Charles needs to demonstrate strong, decisive leadership. This means showing the public that the difficult situations are being handled appropriately, that accountability matters and that the monarchy is not operating by a different set of rules."

This week has also seen the monarch come under pressure to apologise for Britain's role in the slave trade. King Charles is expected to acknowledge the “dark times” of slavery in a speech at the opening of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) today after Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he is 'open' to calls for a formal apology but ruled out financial reparations.

A chilling police series perfect for fans of 24 Hours in Police Custody makes viewers "sick" as a new episode returned to television screens this week.

Major Crimes Unit previously gripped viewers with brand new episodes, but that came to an end last month and was replaced this week on television screens. But Channel 5 aired a gripping replacement that all true crime fans will not want to miss.

Following top homicide teams, the series plunges viewers into the inner workings of police forces as violent murder investigations unfold, with viewers watching as detectives work against the clock for justice.

On Monday (November 2), a chilling new episode – which marked the second episode in Series 2 – aired on Channel 5 at 9pm as it explored one man's harrowing confession and a challenging murder investigation.

Channel 5 teased: "A man walking along the hard shoulder of the M40 confesses to murder; police discover a woman dead at her home in Havant; and detectives must prove what happened when their suspect refuses to talk."

The new episode came after a lengthy wait for viewers as the last new instalment was released earlier this year. But in bad news for fans, Murder Suspect No.1 is not on the television schedules next week, and it is not yet known when a new episode will air.

In the meantime though, fans can binge watch every episode so far, all free of charge. Here's everything you need to know about the gripping series that continues to bring in high praise.

There are currently seven episodes of Murder Suspect No.1 that have so far been released since it first hit screens last year. It's not yet known when, or if, new episodes will air on Channel 5, but in good news for fans, every episode can be streamed online.

Viewers can catch all episodes on Channel 5 online for free as instalments include a brutal axe attack as well as a one punch murder.

From the first 999 call to the final courtroom verdict, the series place viewers deep inside the investigation, as officers piece together the evidence, challenge suspects in interview and race to uncover the truth. Channel 5 has teased: "We follow top homicide teams as a series of violent murder investigations unfold."

The latest instalment once again horrified fans as one true crime fan took to social media to say: "Wow, what a horrific way to die. Honestly, that was absolutely evil what he'd done to her." They later added: "Be prepared."

One person commented: "Wasn't it horrendous", as another echoed: "Was absolutely brutal." A third added: "I literally nearly threw up thinking what she went through."

The newest episode isn't the only one leaving its imprint on Channel 5 viewers as previously, watchers admitted they were left feeling "sick" after brutal scenes.
