Sam Kay has become the twelfth housemate to leave the Big Brother house, after she was selected by her fellow contestants as part of a new Cash Bomb twist.
Following Harry Amelia Martin's eviction moments before, the remaining nominated housemates (Sam, Jack and Chloe) were forced to select one of three envelopes provided by Big Brother.
Big Brother poll: Sam's gone, but has the new Cash Bomb twist been a good idea?
Each contained a monetary amount, which they had to read aloud. This figure then became a levy placed on their head, which would be refunded to the prize fund if they were evicted.
Joel, Danny, Cristian and Nick had just seconds to decide whether they wanted to lose Jack (adding £1,000 to the winner's pot), Chloe (worth £10,000) or Sam (£15,000).
The four of them picked Sam, who was then ordered to leave the house immediately.
What to Read Next
"Those bastards!" she said to host Emma Willis as she sat down for her exit interview.
"What can I say, I wasn't expecting that! I understand why they did it (though)," she conceded.
"I knew it would be me 100% and it was a combination of 'me' and also because I had the highest amount on my head.
"I went in there [after] 18 days and they've stayed with their pals who've been in there since day one."
Sam also said she found it "frustrating" that everyone kept telling her to stop sitting on the fence so much.
"There's no better feeling than making someone smile, is there? And I am not very good at not pleasing people and being controversial," she admitted.
"It was hard going in late as everyone had formed their little cliques. I became best friends with Marc, but I know everyone hated him.
"I was thick skinned so I could take it – that's when you know you've made a mate, when you're really ripping into one another! – but some people took things to heart and he didn't mean it."
"It's been like proper intense," she said of the whole Big Brother experience. "Have I got £5,000 by the way – is that actually happening?"
When Willis laughed and confirmed that the money was hers to keep, Sam shouted: "Drinks on me!"
"Why did you take the money when you said you wouldn't?" asked Willis. "A girl's gotta eat, you know what I mean!" laughed Sam.
Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on Channel 5, with the winner crowned on Thursday during the live final.
