Big Brother: Lily updates the Diary Room
The Big Brother house has been a haven of peace and harmony over the past week, but Sunday night's episode revealed the first signs of discord as the housemates started to turn against each other.
Following Khaled's ascension to 'Head of House', Lily and Ali began to question his sincerity, labelling him as "fake", reports MyLondon. The conversation was initiated by Lily who stated: "I think Khaled is fake," a sentiment echoed by Ali who added: "I think Khaled is fake as well."
"He's concerned about how he's perceived, he doesn't feel awful, he just wants to appear as if he does," she shared with her fellow contestants.
She later chose to confront Khaled directly, telling him: "I think you're a nice boy, but I find, sometimes the interactions, I find false and I find that very, very difficult because then I don't want to engage with it because I don't want to play into it."
"I don't want to be insincere with you and I don't want to be like, shaking your hand and hugging you when inside I'm thinking, 'I just don't buy it'."

Viewers were quick to criticise Ali for her views on Khaled and took to Instagram to voice their thoughts. One fan remarked: "Ali is not a psychic. I hope Khaled doesn't feel ganged up on or anxious."
Another individual wrote: "Ali was so patronising toward Khaled! You're a lovely boy! Come on, she's playing a game!". A different viewer noted: "Ali's behaviour was strange tonight."
Yet another user commented wryly: "Ali trying her hardest to turn the house against Khaled when he's done nothing wrong. Stop trying to be the house therapist and just be a housemate."

A further critic chimed in, remarking: "She's just trying to turn people on him cos she sees him as coming across as a likeable lad. She just wants to win."
Going further, one noted: "Also she wants to be authority so bad and he is head of house so she probably feels threatened by him. She's not as mature as she makes out."
Despite the criticism, Ali found an advocate in a viewer who argued: "Remember we only see 45 minutes of 24 HOURS. Ali wouldn't say something that she didn't strongly believe was true."
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX followed by Big Brother: Late and Live at 10pm.
