Ziggy and Carole thank Sam for nominations

The housemates reacted to Big Brother's fake eviction last night.

Having been forced to nominate two of their fellow housemates, Jonty, Brian, Sam and Amanda rejoined the house.

They were greeted by hugs from Liam, Carole and Ziggy who all said they thought Big Brother had played a mean trick on them.

Ziggy then told them: "I was shouting: 'Put me up. I haven't been up.'"

He turned to Sam and expressed his gratitude that she told the housemates not to nominate Liam as he wasn't responsible for the breaking any rules.

Ziggy said to her: "It took one person to say something and it was yourself. You should be seriously proud of yourself."

Carole agreed, adding: "It's those qualities that will make you a bloody good social worker and take you wherever you want to go... That was the best reasoning of all."

Liam told the group that why he was so happy when Big Brother relieved the nominations were a trick, explaining: "You two are shouting: 'Get me out,' and I'm thinking: 'I've already won a prize.'"
