Celebrity Big Brother fans have been gripped by uncertainty concerning the possibility of a "backdoor eviction". There was widespread confusion among viewers over the concept of another contestant departing without the usual fanfare of a live audience exit, following speculation that Friday's episode would result in two housemates leaving.
During the live show, it was Daley Thompson who said his goodbyes as the fourth celebrity to exit the ITV programme - also notably the third to be ousted by a public vote. Following the show, viewers flooded social media with reactions about who might be next to go - and ex-Love Islander Chris Hughes seems to be at the centre of speculation.
The revelation of any such departure, however, will remain shrouded in mystery until Sunday's episode airs this coming weekend.
People soon rushed to Twitter, with one viewer openly critical of Chris' behaviour during the cat-themed challenge, reports the Mirror. As the housemates donned their feline personas, Chris controversially opted to use the litter tray for more than just play-acting.
Outraged, the fan posted: "Chris needs to get a backdoor eviction for that piddling.. Did he even wash his hands after?"

Echoing the sentiment, another viewer decried the restroom habits displayed by Chris and JoJo: "Disgusting, backdoor evict for one of them #cbbuk sick of their show."
Yet some are sceptical about whether the suggested "backdoor eviction" will transpire at all. A different fan remarked post-Friday's show: "Nothing on this backdoor that was supposed to happen tomorrow... #CBBUK #CBB."
The discussion continued with another adding: "So is a backdoor eviction not happening on Sunday then? Absolutely no mention on Late and Live #CBBUK."
One fan commented on the uncertainty of the live stream in relation to a rumoured "backdoor eviction" saying: "Live stream is over, unsure if we've got a 5 hour long one tonight if this "backdoor eviction" is planned or not guess we will have to see. Anyway goodnight #CBBUK #CBBLive."
Meanwhile, a baffled viewer queried about the evening's arrangements: "If there's a backdoor eviction today, will the livestream still go ahead tonight? or will they just slideshow and bird sound the whole thing #cbbuk".
During Friday's eviction event, ex-Olympian Daley Thompson didn't hold back while speaking with co-host Will Best. Upon his departure from the house, Daley sat down with hosts AJ Odudu and Will and during their conversation, he suggested they both should spend time in the house.
On one occasion when Will humorously expressed doubt about his own celebrity status for participating in the show, Daley agreed, leaving audiences stunned. Social media was abuzz with reactions as one viewer exclaimed: "Aww Daley just rinsed Will! #CBBUK."

Another Twitter use chimed in with amusement at Daley's blunt remark to host Will Best, posting: "OMG not Daley telling CBB host Will Best that he's not famous enough for #CBBUK," complete with a skull and crossbones emoji.
Post-eviction, talking to the hosts, Daley remarked: "I would have liked to have stayed longer but I was quite happy to come out. The problem with it is, no matter what goes on in there, it's you lot out here," as he gestured towards the audience.

Daley gave his candid view on his former housemates: "They have been funny, revealing, great people," though he confessed he didn't harbour "high hopes" for them.
