Earlier in the episode fans were loving the show drama as it started early this year when two housemates clashed within hours of entering the iconic house.
During the opening of the show, Lily and Sarah were seen already bumping heads as tensions brewed following the shock twist.
After being informed they were not real housemates and would be living in storage, 11 participants were all lumped together in incredibly uncomfortable surroundings.
In the clip which previewed the episode Lily, 20, was seen mocking Sarah’s posh accent, before Sarah, 27, broke down in tears after being ‘overwhelmed’ by the big brother experience.

Taking to X fans said: ‘Cracks already love it’: ‘Housemate beef already????’: ‘tears already’: ‘Sarah struggling, FFS it’s been a few hours, just quit if it’s so hard’: ‘Who had Lily and Sarah beef on their Bingo card for day 1 then?’.
Monday’s live launch saw fans slam the show for ripping off Love Island as they accused ITV of ‘raiding the reject pile’ from the dating show to create the line-up.
Hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best welcomed the new contestants, all hoping to bag the show’s huge £100K prize later this year.
But viewers at home noticed that many of this year’s cast shared many similarities with each other, with the vast majority being in their 20s and only one contestant over the age of 40.
As the new stars introduced themselves to each other and the nation, fans pointed out that they were all ‘young and attractive with veneers’ and said they felt like ‘pound shop Love Island contestants’.
They slammed ITV for ‘misunderstanding the show’s purpose’, arguing that what made Big Brother interesting was having ‘people of all ages and backgrounds’.
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
