Viewers of ITV2's Big Brother were taken aback tonight when a double eviction removed two contestants from the competition.
Philip Regan and Rhianna Collins became the latest departures after the public vote was announced.
Hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best disclosed Philip's elimination first during the live broadcast.
As his name was read, the studio audience erupted in loud boos that grew louder when he left the iconic house.
The remaining housemates watched in disbelief as the outspoken Liverpudlian exited.
The drama continued when Rhianna was also eliminated, receiving a chorus of boos while she waved to the cheering crowd.
Nominees for the eviction included Rochelle, Samuel, Rhianna, Philip and Twinks, with Rochelle earning eight nominations from her peers.
Samuel and Rhianna each garnered three nominations, while Philip and Twinks received two each, placing all five at risk.
The week had been volatile following the arrival of Celebrity Big Brother veteran Tiffany Pollard, who quickly sparked conflict.
Tiffany repeatedly clashed with Philip, questioning his conduct and later repeating remarks he made about Yasmin during a special aura reading.
Housemates also tackled a Halloween-themed shopping challenge called the House of Horror, and Yasmin and Rochelle engaged in a heated dispute over alleged gossip.
With eight contestants now remaining, the series moves toward its final week.
