A former Big Brother star has revealed a secret strategy from their fellow housemate that viewers didn’t witness.
The ITV reality show has delivered plenty of shocking moments over recent days. This included a jaw-dropping double eviction on Friday which saw both Farida and Zelah kicked out of the house.
The outcome left many housemates stunned. Even Richard, who escaped elimination after the public voted to keep him safe, appeared shell-shocked and tearful following the result, reports OK!.
Zelah was given the boot despite avoiding any nominations that week. Instead, Caroline decided to use her save and replace power to rescue Tate and nominate Zelah in his stead.
She originally justified her choice by claiming she thought Zelah would easily survive a public vote. However, she was caught offering a different explanation to Big Brother in the diary room.

Now, Farida, who became close mates with Caroline during her stint in the house, has revealed what she believes was Caroline’s hidden strategy behind her move.
Speaking on Late and Live, she told presenter Will Best: “Well, I just think her strategy was she knew that Zelah, she’s very very clever in playing this game and she knew Zelah was one of the popular ones. So I think it was a good move for her.”
When Will asked if Caroline also viewed her as a threat, she replied: “I think it would have been more about how she affected Sam by doing the Tate and Zelah (save and replace).”
Clarifying, Will asked: “So you think she swapped in Zelah to undermine Sam? So Sam gets caught in her game and she’s actually trying to wrong-foot Sam?” Farida replies: “Yeah.”
Guest and Radio presenter Yinka Bokinni jumped in to explain, adding: “Think about it because remember, Caroline used to always complain that she wasn’t part of the inner fold. But now she’s created her fold with Sam and Nancy. But if Sam is getting close to you (Zelah) my guy, then she takes you out and she’s got Sam!”.
That wasn’t all, as Will shifted the conversation to how much Caroline would confess in the diary room about wanting to secure victory in the series and claim the £100,000 prize.
When questioned whether Caroline is strategically playing to triumph, Zelah confirmed: “Caroline’s 100% playing a game. You don’t pay for two week’s immunity and save and replace, we all know that. But I think she is good at disguising it by putting all her focus on Richard.”

Later in the programme, it emerged that Caroline alongside Sam and Nancy had violated one of the show’s core regulations once more after discussing nominations.
In footage set to be broadcast, they will face consequences by serving time in the garden’s detention area.
Additionally, Will announced that the threesome forfeited all their eyeball currency, much to the studio audience’s satisfaction.
Numerous viewers expressed worry as Caroline possessed the highest number of eyeballs, with speculation that tonight’s instalment will witness one contestant being offered a place in the finale as a special transaction.
