Axed Big Brother star reveals rival begged her to take ‘dirty deal’ to try and win show but it was never shown on camera
AXED Big Brother star Farida Khalifa has revealed her revival Kerry begged her to leave the show so she could stay and win.
The former housemate, 50, was the first to be booted from the reality show's brand new house on Friday night.
Farida faced eviction alongside NHS worker Kerry, 40, who she came to blows with on the show.
Both women as housemates - with Farida taking exception to Kerry being promoted in a task.
And now, in an exclusive interview with The Sun following her eviction, Farida has revealed Kerry asked her to tell Big Brother she was happy to leave so she could remain in the game.
Farida explained: "She was so desperate to be in the show, she actually said to me on eviction night, 'Farida, please go into the Diary Room and tell Big Brother that you’re happy to leave because I so badly want to be here, I want to be here til the end'.

"And I said 'well yeah, I want to be here til the end'."
Farida added: "Why would you say that to your competitor?"
Viewers watched on Friday night as Kerry broke down in tears after AJ Odudu and Will Best delivered the result to the housemates.
Kerry, who is from Essex, uses a mobility scooter in the Big Brother house - with bosses installing a lift so she can access the mezzanine in the living room.

Farida has insisted she has "no regrets" about calling her "lazy" despite her MS diagnosis.
She parked fury from fans accusing her of "ableism" against Kerry, whose multiple sclerosis means she suffers from tiredness, vision problems and problems with walking.
Farida said: "I don't regret calling her lazy because I've worked with lots and lots of children and many other people with various different disabilities.
"I understand she's got a condition, but her favourite pastime is just to talk and talk and talk and socialise.
"I've worked with people who have been in wheelchairs and they still manage."
Big Brother continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
