ITV CBB viewers divided as Patsy Palmer deemed ‘harsh’ over ‘stupid’ reason for nominating housemate
The drama was increased on Thursday’s Celebrity Big Brother as the housemates selected two people to be up for evictions.
It’s not up to the public to decide who will be the first to leave after Jack P Shepherd, Michael Fabricant and Mickey Rourke received the dreaded votes.
However, fans on the ITV show found some of the reasons the famous faces give “ridiculous,” with Donna Preston opting to vote Angellia Bell because she “wore the same pyjamas” as her.
To make matters worse, the actress and comedian, 38, also voted for Shepherd because he “wears too much aftershave”.
Fabricant, 74, chose EastEnders star Patsy Palmer, 52, to be up for eviction because she enquired about his wig, which he went on to describe himself as being “sensitive” about.
However, it was Palmer herself who got viewers talking when she also selected Coronation Street star Shepherd because he “looks like the Joker”.
She explained she is frightened of the Batman villain and has “nightmares” about him, so doesn’t want to look at the actor, who reminds her of him.
While some fans found the reason hilarious, others branded the statement “stupid”.

Taking to X, viewers were split down the middle about their thoughts but left floods of comments about the situation.
One wrote: “Jack the Joker. Kind of a harsh nomination. #CBB #CelebrityBigBrother.”
“Nominating Jack because he looks like the Joker?! These reasons really are stupid! #cbb #cbbuk,” another complained.
Someone else penned: “I bet he’d never suspect that the reason he got voted was because he looked like the joker #cbb,” along with laughing emojis.
“Can’t get over patsy nominating Jack because he looks like the joker and she’s worried he’s going to trigger some nightmares #CBB #CBBUK,” another shared.
Another echoed: “I can’t stop thinking about Julie/Patsy nominating Jack because he looks like The Joker and The Joker gives her nightmares #CBBUK.”
Someone else who also found the moment comical added: “Patsy nominating Jack for looking like the joker in the morning that gives her nightmares is cracking me up #cbbuk.” (sic)
Others who voted for Shepherd seemed to be in agreement that he wasn’t as warm and open as some of the other housemates.
Rourke, 72, is up for eviction because JoJo Siwa, 21, was given the power to select someone in the house and opted to go with the actor following his offensive comments in Wednesday’s episode.
The US actor came under fire for his remarks, which have sparked a storm on social media.
He has also been branded “creepy” for his behaviour towards host AJ Odudu on Monday as he entered the house.
