Celebrity Big Brother UK 2025 has entered its final stretch, with a shocking triple eviction that left viewers and housemates alike reeling. On Tuesday, April 22, 2025, the reality TV competition witnessed the departure of three prominent contestants: Angellica Bell, Ella Rae Wise, and Patsy Palmer. This marked the first triple eviction of the series, which has captivated audiences for three weeks.
The dramatic night began with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best announcing that over a million votes had been cast, setting the stage for a tense elimination. Angellica was the first to be evicted, expressing her surprise and emotional reaction as she exited the house. "I feel amazing," she said, greeted by cheers from the audience. However, her joy was tinged with shock as she realized two more housemates would soon follow her out the door.
Angellica, a well-known TV presenter, had been open about her struggles during her time in the house. In her exit interview, she reflected on the experience, saying, "It's probably the best thing I've done in a long time. Before I came in here, I was a little bit scared. The press were asking if I'd talk about the Martin Lewis show and stuff. It took me a long time to get over that." This reference to her previous employment, where she was reportedly "secretly sacked" from The Martin Lewis Money Show, added a layer of depth to her emotional farewell.
Following Angellica's exit, Ella Rae Wise was revealed as the second housemate to leave. Dressed in a striking white blazer, she exited to cheers, stating, "I'm happy I was dying to see my mum and friends and I feel like I need to get back to reality." Ella had previously voiced her frustrations about her relationships in the house, particularly with Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa, claiming that Chris never took the time to know her. "I felt he never took time to get to know me as a person," she shared, hinting at the tensions that had developed during their time together.
Finally, Patsy Palmer, the beloved EastEnders star, was the last to be evicted. She expressed her happiness at being part of a historical triple eviction, saying, "I was cheering, to be part of history as part of the triple eviction. I've been missing my husband and kids. As I got closer to the end I was counting down the days to see them." Patsy had also been under scrutiny during her time in the house, facing questions about her cooking from former housemate Mickey Rourke, who was removed from the show for his aggressive behavior.
The triple eviction left Chris Hughes and Danny Beard safe, alongside JoJo Siwa, Chesney Hawkes, Donna Preston, and Jack P. Shepherd, who will now compete for the top prize in the upcoming finale. The final episode is set to air live on Friday, April 25, 2025, at 1 p.m. BST on ITV and will also be streamed live on ITVX.
This season has been filled with twists and turns, including a controversial immunity twist that fans have criticized as "stupid." The housemates were initially faced with a brutal round of face-to-face nominations, leading to the shocking eliminations. In a surprising twist, JoJo Siwa managed to save herself from eviction by winning a golden egg, which allowed her to swap places with Danny Beard, who was then placed at risk.
As the housemates prepared for the live eviction, the atmosphere was tense. Each contestant had to navigate personal relationships while competing for the audience's favor, leading to emotional confrontations and revelations. Ella, for instance, revealed her protective nature towards JoJo, saying, "I didn't want her to be used" by Chris, highlighting the complexities of their interactions.
Fans have expressed mixed feelings about the recent evictions, with some criticizing the decision to eliminate three women in quick succession, calling it "sexist." One fan tweeted, "How it feels when we go from five women in the house to just two in the space of 35 minutes." This sentiment reflects a broader concern among viewers regarding the representation of women in reality television.
As the show nears its conclusion, the finalists are gearing up for a fierce competition. JoJo Siwa, Chris Hughes, Danny Beard, Chesney Hawkes, Donna Preston, and Jack P. Shepherd will now battle it out for the coveted title. The anticipation builds as fans eagerly await the finale, hoping for surprises and dramatic moments that have become synonymous with Celebrity Big Brother UK.
Overall, the triple eviction has set the stage for an exciting finale, with the remaining housemates ready to showcase their personalities and strategies in the final days of the competition. As viewers tune in, they can expect a mix of emotion, drama, and perhaps even some unexpected twists as the series wraps up.
