The housemates were left stunned tonight after Latoya's sudden and unexpected eviction.

Though the group knew Emilia and Latoya were facing the public vote this week, none of them knew anyone would be leaving this evening.

Big Brother announced the news as they watched a film. Panic set in immediately, and all attention turned to preparing her for her interview.

Jay and Calista made it their mission to help her with her clothes and make-up, while the others walked about in disbelief. John sat with his head in his hands, and Amy and Jeremy sat in stunned silence.

Hugs were given all round as each of them took it in turns to complain about how unfair it was that she had no time to prepare herself properly.

Latoya shed several tears, saying: "This is such a piss take... Big Brother aren't my friend right now, I'm gonna cuss them so hard when I get out."

As Dermot summoned her to leave, the others gave her words of encouragement, waving to her as she climbed the steps to the outside world.

As the door shut behind her, the house fell into silence. The next few minutes were spent with Jay crying, Nathan pacing the room and the others comforting each other with cuddles.
