BIG Brother’s Sam left the main house tonight in a fake eviction.
His tears with best pal Nancy, who was also up for eviction, were short-lived, because as soon as he set foot outside he was whisked into a secret room for a new mission.

Little did he, or the other housemates, know that the public had been voting for the person they wanted to join returning stars Emily and Farida on a secret mission, rather than be axed for good.
Big Brother announced the names of the two former housemates making a return to the show earlier today.
“Returning Housemates Alert,” the caption on the post began.
“It’s round two for evicted Housemates Emily [Hewertson] and Farida [Khalifa] who will be entering a secret room in the house… but who will join them tonight?
“You decide.”
Farida, who starred in the 2023 series, and blonde bombshell Emily arrived tonight to an unusually quiet live audience.
The crowd were told to be silent so as not to give away the surprise to the housemates.
Emily entered the secret room first in a glam red dress and was quickly followed by Farida, who could barely contain her excitement.
Once in the secret room, the trio enjoyed snacks from a buffet but were warned to keep their voices down as they are situated close to the Diary Room.
Speaking ahead of her return, Farida said: “The amount of time you put into the whole process, I didn’t really feel fulfilled.
“I only had a few days in there.
“The most important thing is – the audience has wanted this for such a long time […]. I’m doing it for the fans.”
Conservative Emily, who last just minutes into launch night, shared: “Number one, I think the meltdown online will be funny.
“People kept saying ‘we hope it’s not Emily’ when they heard some old housemates will be returning.
“Well surprise, it is!”
Bubbly Farida was the first housemate to leave the Big Brother house in 2023 and she’ll be hoping for a longer stay this time.
Fans are thrilled she’s back, deeming the moment “iconic”.
“THIS HAS MADE MY DAY. Go on Farida, smash it girl and be wonderfully fabulous and brilliantly entertaining,” said one excited user.
“Auntie Farida has returned,” shared another.
But fans seemed less thrilled to hear about Emily’s comeback.
“Farida… GREAT! Emily… really?,” questioned one fan.
“I’ll happily vote Emily out a second time,” said another.
