Philip Regan and Rhianna Collins leave Big Brother in double eviction

Philip Regan and Rhianna Collins were evicted from Big Brother in a double exit decided by the public vote.

Five housemates—Philip, Rhianna, Rochelle, Samuel and Twinks—had been nominated, and the other three remain in the competition.

The exits came days before the live final, with eight housemates still in the running, according to one account.

Philip's departure drew loud boos, and his interview with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best became heated as audience members heckled him.

He said fellow housemate Rochelle had nominated him and argued that being in the house was part of a game.

Tensions had risen after clashes with guest Tiffany Pollard, who confronted him during her visit to the house.

The remaining housemates are competing for the win as the final approaches.
