Celebrity Big Brother viewers were left stunned and furious at host AJ Odudu as she revealed that Bradley Riches was the seventh Housemate to get the boot – despite the star thinking he was seeing a loved one.
During tonight’s episode the Housemates were individually told to go to the rendezvous where they were met with one of their loved ones.
David Potts was greeted by his friend Troy, Louis Walsh by Sinitta, Fern Britton by her daughter Winnie, Colson Smith by his mum Jane and Nikita Kuzmin by his girlfriend Lauren Jaine.
Riches was the last Housemate to attend the rendezvous and was excited to be met by one of his loved ones – but was left stunned when Odudu walked through the garden archway.
As his fellow Housemates watched on in shock, she revealed to Riches: “As you can see, neither a friend of family member is here for you.
“This is because the public have been voting. I can now reveal that the seventh housemate to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house is…you.

“How are you feeling?” to which Riches expressed: “I feel fine. I’ve had so much fun! I didn’t think I was going to make it this far.
“And I love everyone in there, I’m so proud of everyone, and, yeah, I’m very thankful, very grateful, and very happy.”
Riches was able to go back into the house one last time to say his goodbye’s to his Housemates who were all in tears.
Before he left, he was called to the diary room to reflect on his time in the house one last time and said: “I feel like I had the absolute best time.

“I met so many amazing friends, I felt like I was scare to do it and I’ve done it. I felt like I was scared to do it, and I’ve done it.”
Whilst Riches wasn’t fazed by his exit, many Big Brother viewers were left furious and branded the twist as “brutal and vile”.
One X viewer slammed: “Big Brother you absolutely savage b******s .. that was brutal! Well done to Bradley for handling that with such grace.”
“That was so brutal Bradley was one of my favourites to win,” another added before a third quipped: “That was absolutely vile #CBBUK I am in utter shock. Not the person to do that to.”

Another exclaimed: “THAT WAS SICK AND TWISTED. THAT WAS F***ING VILE. WHAT THE F**K.”
“Not Bradley. I was literally sobbing when AJ walked in and at Nikita’s realisation that his friend was being evicted. I loved their friendship,” one upset viewer sobbed.
A sixth penned: “The way I was SHOOK when AJ walked in to evict Bradley.”
However, not everyone was in agreement that Riches wasn’t the person to do that too, as one viewer said: “People are saying Bradley wasn't the person to do that to when AJ did it very gently and Bradley was okay with it after???” (sic)
