Big Brother fans have called for one contestant to be put up for eviction due to their habit.
The hit reality show has returned for another series on ITV as a set of housemates were welcomed into the iconic house by AJ Odudu and Will Best. However, contestant Lily, 20, had viewers fuming during the recent episode after they noticing a very unusual habit. Some fans of the show couldn’t contain their “disgust” and even called for her to leave the show.
The Chinese restaurant server was seen picking her nose and eating it. Her move came as all the housemates were gathered on Friday evening for the first eviction of the series. While sitting alongside her co-stars, Lily was seen putting a finger up her nose before eating what came out.
Viewers were left feeling “sick” as they took to X to share their thoughts. One said: “This nose picking thing is not cute, ITV do not show us that s*** again.” Another added: “Is lily ok? Why would you pick your nose and eat your bogeys I’m genuinely concerned for her.”

Someone else commented: “”What grown person picks at their nose and eats it. Lily makes me feel sick.” A fourth wrote: “Lilly picking her nose in front of everyone and the cameras is one thing, but eating it after?? Should be up for immediate eviction.” One viewer fumed: “Lily needs to be evicted purely for picking her nose and eating it. Dirty cow.”
Another shared: “Why do big brother need to show Lily pick her nose & eat it. F****** vile, absolutely no need to air it!” Lily even fessed up to her habit when speaking to her housemate Aki, 35. The forensic scientist was left visibly horrified when Lily said she picks her bogeys and eats them.
Her admission came when she sniffed her slippers when talking to Ali and Daze. Ali asked: “Do we need to have a little conversation about shoe hygiene?,” to which Lily replied: “I think hygiene in general, maybe? I picked my nose and I showed it…” Daze then cut in and told Ali: “She picks her nose – like a big bogey, a big one, chunky. And she goes…”
Daze then showed how Lily puts her bogey-covered finger in her mouth and continued: “She eats the whole thing.” A stunned Ali quipped: “Stop that,” before Lily asked what Ali does with her bogeys. She stated: “Blow my nose. I try to clean my nose quite regularly so they don’t build up.”
During the opening episode, Lily divided viewers when she snorted in the Diary Room when talking about “fit boys”. She also belched at the camera while cheekily saying ‘bless me’, which stirred up a reaction online as some dubbed her “a bit much”. One viewer wrote: “Lily is A LOT! ! She’s going to be the marmite this season.” Another agreed: “I fear Lily is trying too hard to be iconic it’s icky.” Yet, some fans rooted for her, with one declaring: “Best housemate this year! I’m officially on The Lily Bandwagon.”
