Ali walks away with the remaining prize fund of £90,000 – with Segun having took £10k from the pot from a previous eviction task.

During Marcello’s first interview, he explained: ‘You just pray you don’t go in week one, but it gets more tense as the weeks go. Then you have Dean and Ali after you so it is hard.

‘I’ve always said Ali is a nice person, but we are different characters. I told her in there, we didn’t have an in depth discussion about the issues.’

He was then grilled by AJ about some of his rude comments in the house, particularly the one about ‘Sarah’s pH levels’.

AJ quipped: ‘As a woman that is an offensive thing to say.It may be boy banter, but it isn’t ok.’

He said: ‘At the end of the day I’ve had a few bad experiences. It is boy banter, I should have kept to the friendship group.’

Earlier in the tense show, Hanah and Emma were evicted from the Big Brother house.

The pair looked glamorous as they left the house and head to the Late & Live studio for their first interviews – leaving rivals Ali and Marcello as the final two.

It came quickly after Segun and Nathan became the eleventh and twelfth contestants to leave the house.

Hosts AJ and Will confirmed that the pair were first to leave out of the six finalists, before they walked out to a cheering crowd.
