It was the end of the road for Lily Benson and Khaled Khaled as they were evicted from the Big Brother house on Friday.

The housemates were shocked as hosts Will Best and AJ Odudu announced not one but two of them would be leaving in a double eviction.

Lily and Khaled were sent packing while Ali, Emma and Rosie – aka Baked Potato – were saved by the British public.

Lily was lost for words after she left the house, unable to respond when Will and AJ asked her how she was feeling.

On spin-off show Late & Live, Lily joked she would have wasted the £100,000 prize if she had won the show anyway.

Khaled didn’t let his eviction get him down as he looked in good spirits on his walk out

She said: ‘I’ve been up for [nomination] three weeks so to be saved twice, I’m so grateful.

‘I thought I was going to be out in the first week so to be here in week five, I can’t complain.

‘If I was going to win, it wouldn’t ethical because I would have wasted all the money anyway.’

Lily was also told that she received the most nominations of anyone in the house throughout the duration of the show, but she simply shrugged and laughed.

During his exit interview, Khaled was quizzed about what he thought about Nathan telling him he thought he was holding back for not speaking out about the conflict in Israel and Palestine, given Khaled is Palestinian.

In response, he said: ‘I took offense to that one. When I went into the house, I had a conversation with everyone but him about Palestine and Lebanon.

‘For [Nathan] to say that, as if I’m hiding from it… I felt like that was a bit offensive. He did apologise and I do forgive him.’

Khaled also insisted there were no hard feelings between himself and Marcello after Marcello saved Thomas over Khaled from eviction while he was Head Of House.

AJ and Will were joined by former Celebrity Big Brother star Zeze Millz on Late & Live

Khaled said: ‘With Marcello, I don’t hold anything against him. I said to him someone might get burnt from it

‘A decision made in five minutes doesn’t mean anything compared to the five weeks we’ve had.’

Lily said she hopes Ali wins the show while Khaled picked Segun as his winner.

It comes after fans voiced their confusion and annoyance, after the latest episode of spin-off Late & Live was taken down temporarily over ‘a compliance issue’.

Monday night’s episode saw hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best discuss the latest drama in the house alongside Zeze Millz, Henry Southan and Daisy Campbell.

But when viewers went to catch-up on the show the following day, they discovered the episode was missing from ITVX.

Many took to social media to ask ITV why it wasn’t showing up on the streaming service, with the broadcaster explaining: ‘Hi, sadly we had to remove this episode due to compliance reasons, we do apologise for any inconvenience caused. Take care and enjoy your day.’

They later explained that they were working to get the episode back up as quickly as possible, but did not clarify what the issue was.

ITV tweeted: ‘We can confirm that the latest episode of BB: Late & Live has been removed due to a compliance issue. We’re looking to get the episode back ASAP, hopefully today, but we do not have a timeframe for this.’

Fans were quick to speculate reasons why the show would be temporarily removed, with many suggesting that it would be down to some kind of pro-Palestinian reference.

Big Brother was previously embroiled in controversy, after pulling an episode last month to edit out a housemate’s T-shirt emblazoned with a picture of a watermelon.

The watermelon has been used to show solidarity with Palestinians, as the fruit is the same colours of the flag – red, black, white and green.

It has been used as a powerful symbol to represent the state since the Six-Day War in 1967, when flying the flag was outlawed, and has seen a resurgence amid the Israel Gaza war.

Contestant Ali Bromley, a forensic psychologist, was seen wearing the shirt –  which Metro identified as the Wear The Peace’s Freedom Melon Tee, which donates all of its profits to Gaza to supply food, water, medical aid, and other necessities.

The episode in question was pulled off ITVX and re-uploaded to the streaming service the following day, with the shots of Ali cropped to hide her top.

The move sparked backlash, as furious viewers argued they were censoring pro-Palestinian views and going against the ethos of the show by ‘allowing the censorship of housemates views’.
