In an explosive moment on Celebrity Big Brother, TV host Trisha Goddard clashed with fellow housemate Michael Fabricant, accusing him of making Islamophobic comments during a heated political debate.
The 67-year-old television personality didn’t hold back after Fabricant, a former Tory MP, made controversial remarks about immigration.
A Heated Exchange Over Immigration Raises Eyebrows
The tension started when Chesney Hawkes, a 53-year-old singer, asked Fabricant his opinion on immigration. The 47-year-old politician shared his views, explaining that Jewish people in the UK often “do as the Romans do” when they immigrate.
He further emphasized that immigrants should not aim to change the country to suit their beliefs.
This comment immediately sparked a reaction from Trisha, who accused him of slipping into Islamophobia.
“Are you slipping into Islamophobia?” she asked, warning him that his comments could cause serious trouble.
Fabricant quickly responded, defending his stance by explaining that the UK has benefited from waves of immigration throughout history.
Viewers Divided Over the Heated Argument
The argument left Celebrity Big Brother viewers split, with some supporting Trisha’s accusations while others felt her comments were uncalled for. On social media, opinions were mixed.
Some agreed with Trisha, claiming that Fabricant was indeed alluding to Islam, while others felt she had overreacted.
“Trisha wasn’t wrong for that, it’s very obvious he was using Islamophobic talking points,” one viewer tweeted, while another added, “Michael wasn’t talking about Islam, and Trisha’s comment wasn’t needed.”
The debate revealed deeper tensions about the sensitive topics of immigration and religion, leaving fans to question the intentions behind the words used in the argument.
Michael Fabricant Evicted, Fans Express Frustration Over His Early Exit
Later in the show, Michael Fabricant became the first housemate to be evicted from Celebrity Big Brother.
The former politician had received the most nominations from his housemates, and after facing a public vote, he said his goodbyes amid mixed reactions from the audience.
While Fabricant was greeted with both boos and cheers, some fans were upset by the decision.
Many felt that controversial housemate Mickey Rourke, who has been accused of homophobia, should have been evicted instead.
The Controversial Eviction and Public Backlash
The public response to Fabricant’s eviction was intense. Viewers took to social media, expressing their anger at the outcome.
Many believed that Rourke, who had previously left fellow housemate JoJo Siwa in tears with offensive remarks about her sexuality, should have been the one to leave.
“So they kept a homophobe… nice,” one viewer wrote, while another commented, “Would rather a Tory than a homophobic in the house.”
Despite his political background, some viewers felt that Fabricant was evicted too soon, especially when compared to other housemates who had stirred up controversy during the season.
