BIG Brother is springing a brand new twist on the housemates in a bid to spice up the drama for fans.
The shake-up will see one person handed the role of Head Of House – and they will be able to make up new rules for everyone.
Big Brother host AJ Odudu announced the twist following the first eviction show of the series, which saw Ryan being given the boot.
Dropping the bombshell on spin-off show Big Brother: Late & Live, AJ said: “Big Brother has a new trick up his sleeve.
“Next week, one housemate will become the first Head Of House and with this role is a whole load of power and privileges.”
She added: “Whoever has the Head Of House role will have immunity from that week’s eviction. That’s a big one.”
After AJ had revealed the twist, she asked Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts – who was a panelist on the show – what he thought.
David declared: “If Lily is not the Head Of House, I’m going to be furious.
“Imagine the rules that she would make!”
Evictee Ryan, who had just been interviewed about his brief spell on Big Brother, was then asked if he would have liked the role.
The rule-breaker, who contributed to the housemates losing their first shopping task by stealing a sausage, admitted: “Yeah, I’d have messed it up and gone hard with it.”
Ryan had been up for eviction alongside Baked Potato – aka Rosie, Nathan and Dean.
The audience audibly booed when his name was called out by AJ and her co-host Will Best.
Once out of the house, Ryan said he had no regrets about stealing the sausage during Big Brother’s Coconut Eye-land task.
Meanwhile, fans were left baffled during Friday night’s episode of Late & Live following a major technical issue.
Seconds after revealing the twist, AJ and Will went to the studio audience to ask who they think should be Head Of House.
Instead of giving an answer to the question, one man said that Lily “should go because she’s annoying”.
The sound then immediately cut out, followed by the visual, and they were only restored in time for AJ and Will to sign off for the night.
BIG Brother fans demanded producers step in tonight and remove Marcello from the house as they aired secret footage of him and Ali.
Normally the ITV2 show does not air any scenes of the housemates in the smoking area, but tonight bosses broke that rule to show the context of a conversation between the pair.
He offered her his vape, suggesting she try the grape flavour.
After taking a toke, she handed it back to him, and he told her: “We just vape kissed.”
“Marcello!” a shock Ali scolded.
“It’s a thing!” he responded, flirtily.
“It’s not a thing,” she shot back, laughing awkwardly. “It;s definitely not a thing.”
While Marcello then reassured her he was joking, when they went back to join the group, he let the joke continue.
“We just kissed innit,” he told Sarah, Segun and Hanah, before quickly adding: “No, I’m joking.”
After Sarah scolded him, Ali went inside and confessed to her fellow housemates that she was concerned the smoking scene would not be shown – therefore her girlfriend watching at home might believe Marcello that they kissed.
Marcello then came inside in an attempt to smooth things over.
“I have people watching [at home],” Ali told him.
“Yeah, I know, me too,” he responded. “Honestly, beyond the jokes I am a gentleman.”
The pair then shook hands but Marcello couldn’t resist getting another gag in.
After Ali gently told him he was trying to “ruin my life”, he responded: “You came in the smokers’ room! You know what you were doing!”
Needless to say, fans watching at home were not impressed and urged producers to remove him from the house.
One raged on X: “Marcello is vile, get him out. Predatory vibes, completely disrespecting Ali & her relationship.”
A second added: “Ali is clearly uncomfortable about what Marcello did.”
A third chimed: “Eject Marcello now, Ali nor any of the other women should have to deal with that absolutely disgusting creature.”
“Sorry marcello is disgusting! Poor Ali that’s so uncomfortable of a situation,” echoed a fourth.
A fifth fumed: “Marcello literally PREYING on Ali like that is so vile I need him out of that house NOW.”
And a sixth agreed: “Marcello’s persistence with Sarah and Ali is really weird. They’ve both told him to stop and yet he continues. Someone for the love of god step in.”
A brand new batch of Big Brother housemates are living it up in the famous compound.
Meet the cast of the 2024 series:
It comes as some viewers also branded Marcello a “pig” last night following an exchange between him and Sarah.
Sarah was complimenting Marcello as he worked in the kitchen as part of the shopping task.
“You are so funny Marcello, when I first met you, you are not someone that I would think I would get on with so well,” Sarah told him.
Looking taken aback, he replied: “I’m a nice person.”
“I know you are, but on first impression…” she added.
Everyone always judges me,” Marcello responded.
Sarah went on to explain: “Yeah because you sound like the way you sound, the accent, the city, the way you dress, you are just someone that in public I probably wouldn’t gravitate towards because I would be a bit intimidated.”
Marcello then flirtily shot back: “Oh honey, I would gravitate towards you, don’t worry about that.
While Hanah, who was watching on, screamed at his comment, Sarah looked unimpressed and said: “Please don’t”
Big Brother continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

SIXANDAHALF (3.40 Newmarket, nap)
Was an excellent third in the Irish version of this two weeks ago where Gavin Cromwell’s mare proved her staying power. She likes cut in the ground and looks on a fair handicap mark.
LEAD ARTIST (1.15 Newmarket, nb)
He chased home Kinross in a hotter race than this at Doncaster last time. That was his latest excellent effort after he landed Group 3 honours at Goodwood in August. This slightly longer trip holds no fears and the Gosdens’ colt won’t mind if there’s juice underfoot.
DUAL IDENTITY (2.05 York, treble)
Will enjoy being back on the Knavesmire where he was an unlucky second two starts ago. Ignore his Cambridgeshire run last time as he had chronic traffic issues. This trip suits him better.
NEWMARKET
1.15
LEAD ARTIST won in this grade at Goodwood before running a cracker behind Kinross in the Park Stakes at Doncaster. He shapes as though this longer trip will be fine and has more to come.
Al Mubhir just got collared near the line in France latest and this Frankel gelding has proven stamina. He should be on the premises again.
Liberty Lane has won his last two at HQ and deserves a crack at this after winning the Cambridgeshire easily. He had the draw and conditions in his favour but clocked a fast time.
Ancient Rome has been highly tried and comes into this after a wind op. A repeat of his run when a close second in a Group 2 at Ascot in July would put him bang there.
1.50
SHACKLETON landed an overdue win over 1m1f at The Curragh last time and can take another step forward. He handles any ground and Aidan O’Brien thinks a lot of him.
Starzintheireyes didn’t have a lot to beat at Leicester latest but went through the mud nicely and should relish this much longer trip for in-form Ralph Beckett.
Green Storm had almost ten lengths in hand when scooting in at Yarmouth 25 days ago. He clocked a decent time but will need more to follow up.
Ballydoyle second string County Mayo didn’t have to break sweat when winning at Gowran and could make the forecast spot.
2.25
SILVER PEAK can keep up Charlie Appleby’s amazing record in this race. He’s won the past four and five of the last seven.
This Dubawi colt showed plenty when winning at Haydock latest without breaking sweat and he’s proven over this mile.
Delacroix was very green when a promising second in a Group 2 at Leopardstown latest. He’ll want further in time but looks a real danger.
Wolf Of Badenoch was poor last time after going close in a hot Goodwood contest. A return to that form would give him a say.
Stanhope Gardens clocked a decent time in winning a minor race at Beverley but this is tougher so he needs more.
3.00
THE LION IN WINTER follows in the hoofprints of City Of Troy who won this for Aidan O’Brien last season.
His Acomb win at York was impressive and the form has been franked. He is up in class but will relish the step up in trip.
Shadow Of Light is no mug as he showed when blowing away Whistlejacket to take the Middle Park here two Saturdays ago.
He should stay this extra furlong and it will be a good battle between the pair.
Godolphin have another big chance with Ancient Truth who clocked a good time in the Superlative on the July course.
The break is a concern but there should be more to come over a trip that suits.
3.40
SIXANDAHALF came close to making all in the Irish version of this race, which is probably a hotter contest these days.
She may have used up a little too much petrol before boxing on when challenged and Rob Whearty is excellent value for his 3lb claim.
A 1lb rise for that gives her every chance for canny Gavin Cromwell who loves winning a big British prize.
As with all Emmet Mullins raiders, Jocovec Cavern has been well backed and with good reason after an excellent second in a big field at Galway when last seen in July.
He is a proven stayer who can make his presence felt.
Sea Of Sands has raced just once for Willie Mullins when winning a Listowel novice hurdle last month.
That was an unusual prep but this son of Sea The Stars was a Group 3 winner in Germany on the level and the booking of William Buick takes the eye.
Queenstown didn’t enjoy the fast ground when down the Ebor field at York but is another with Group form on his CV. He has plenty of weight but he can give Ryan Moore a good spin.
Spirit Mixer has a chance after a battling 2m win at Chester on soft last time, while last year’s winner The Shunter has only 5lb more and can’t be ruled out under James Doyle.
YORK
1.30
BOLO NEIGHS pocketed a quarter of a million when winning a Curragh sales race by seven lengths last time.
He had the best of the draw but still showed blistering speed in the tacky ground to win so easily.
He stays over his favoured six-furlong trip and will be hard to stop again.
Invictus Gold is improving with every run and came late to score at Newmarket last time. He relishes this trip and is another with more to offer.
William Haggas has a good record in this race and his Raneenn could be a fair bit better than we saw at Chester last time.
She still won easily in the soft conditions and has every chance of making the frame.
It Ain’t Two has been holding her own in Group contests including at Ayr latest. This is likely to be the softest ground she’s faced so far but it wouldn’t take a lot more to challenge.
2.05
DUAL IDENTITY didn’t get much room to race when midfield in the Cambridgeshire last time.
He’s better judged on his excellent second in a big field at the Ebor meeting here. He didn’t get the best of runs there either but finished strongly over this trip.
He has gone well on soft ground before and still looks on a fair handicap mark.
Stressfree scored over this trip at Chester last month and went close to following up at Leicester earlier this week. He likes testing ground and should be on the premises again.
Bolster has shown his best over this distance with some cut.
He is only 3lb higher than his game Epsom win in May and matched that form when going close at Newbury latest. He likes to force the pace and will take some pegging back.
Bennetot was a solid fourth in the Cambridgeshire and is in the mix with just 1lb more in the saddle.
Valvano is an interesting handicap debutant for Ralph Beckett in this hot company and is worth a market check.
2.40
STRIKE RED won this two years ago and has barely had his favoured soft ground since.
He ran a cracker at the Ebor meeting when second in a hot contest and he was away from the speed at Ayr latest. He’s only 1lb higher than his 2022 success and has a decent draw in stall nine.
Old boy Summerghand keeps coming down the weights and he’s sunk far enough to be an each-way player at a track he likes.
Aleezdancer won well here three starts ago and his rider’s claim takes him below that mark. He doesn’t have the greatest draw but could nick a place.
Secret Guest keeps making the frame and he was just denied at Ripon two Saturdays ago. He has a good berth in stall one and should be on the premises again.
First-time cheekpieces may perk up King’s Lynn who has run well on soft ground before.

A SECRET Big Brother feud has been revealed after one show star was left ranting about one of her fellow housemates.
38-year-old Ali did not hold back as she shared her thoughts on Manchester lad Khaled, 23, in a conversation in the bedroom.
Fans of the ITV2 reality series have seen little interactions between Ali and Khaled but is seems that he has been rubbing her up the wrong way as she slammed him in a series of scathing comments.
In a chat with Nathan and Lily, Ali was quick to share her thoughts about Khaled that left the pair stunned.
At first, she said: “I know there is people in here that dislike me, but they say enough to my face to look like on camera that they are being nice to me.”
Lily then suggested that Khaled might be “too nice” based on first impressions but Ali quickly interrupted in order to quickly have her say.
In a surprise admission, Ali then said: “He’s not nice.
“I think what he shows is genuinely part of him but I think there is more that he has not shown which is maybe not as nice.”
Lily looked stunned as Ali did not hold back as she spilled all on hers and Khaled’s secret bubbling ‘feud’.
Reacting to the surprise house feud online, one fan said: “Clock it Ali, Khaled is hiding something.”
Another added: “Ali forming alliance with Nathan but coming for Khaled hmmmm I know what you are…..”
A third then wrote: “Pretty sure Khaled has done naff all to Ali or anyone else.”
Before a fourth commented: “I mean Ali, people can just be nice to you and dont like you? that is called respect! he is just being Khaled.”
After airing her thoughts on Khaled – Ali, Nathan and Lily decided to form an “alliance” in order to keep each other safe in the house.
It comes as Ali called off another ‘secret feud’ with co-star Emma after the pair opened up on they’re simmering tensions.
After seeing Emma was in floods of tears, Ali decided to confront her about a secret tension between them
Ali said to her: “Can I ask you a question?
“What did you think of me when you first met me?”
Responding whilst wiping away her tears, Emma said: “I just didn’t think you liked me!”
Finally addressing the underlying elephant in the room, Ali quipped back: “I thought that of you for me.”
After seeing Emma upset over the situation, Ali decided to take the opportunity to apologise.
She said to Emma: “But I have to say, I feel maybe that I got it wrong.
Surprised, Emma questioned back: “Really?”
As the warring women came to an understanding they shared a hug in front of a shocked Baked Potato who appeared unaware of the secret housemate feud.
A brand new batch of Big Brother housemates are living it up in the famous compound.
