Big Brother in huge format shake-up that will shock viewers

BIG Brother has seen a huge format shake-up as it revealed the housemates facing the first eviction.

During tonight's episode of Late and Live, Will Best revealed which two housemates had been nominated by their fellow co-stars to face the public vote.

Ahead of Friday's live eviction show, it was confirmed that 40 year old Kerry and Farida, 50, would battle it out to be kept in the Big Brother house.

The pair had already clashed with one another during this week's shopping task and they will now have to face off against each other to win the public's vote.

However, the confirmation of who would be facing the vote saw a huge format shake-up and show first.

Having been revealed on the programme's spin-off show, the vote opened straight away via the Big Brother app.

It means that viewers are able to vote for who they wish to evict without having seen the housemates nominate in the Diary Room.

In previous series, viewers have watched the housemates deliver their verdicts on the main highlights programme before being able to vote.

It also means little time for viewers to see how both Kerry and Farida will react to being paired against each other for the first face-off of the series.

One fan was left blasting the show for the decision as they raged: "Part of Big Brother is seeing how housemates react to being nominated. We're just not hoping to see that."

A second shake-up sees the telephone lines abandoned for voting for the first time in the show's history.

It follows a growing trend of using purely in-app voting to determine the results of the show.

This format has already been used on shows including Britain's Got Talent and Love Island for years.

Will and AJ Odudu will interview either Kerry or Farida on Late and Live at 10pm after they are booted from the house.

Big Brother continues nightly at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
