Big Brother’s Farida reveals Kerry asked her to quit the show

Farida faced eviction alongside NHS worker Kerry - the two women who found it difficult to get along. However, Farida has revealed in a recent interview that despite their rivalry, Kerry approached her to ‘quit’ the show on the eviction night.

Farida told The Sun:

She was so desperate to be in the show, she actually said to me on eviction night, 'Farida, please go into the Diary Room and tell Big Brother that you’re happy to leave because I so badly want to be here, I want to be here til the end'.
And I said 'well yeah, I want to be here til the end'.
Why would you say that to your competitor?

As show hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best announced that Farida was evicted, Kerry broke down in tears as she felt grateful to be on the show.

Farida’s game plan on Big Brother UK

According to The Sun, Farida also revealed she had a game plan since the start of the show. She confessed the main motive for her to be on the show was to promote her business. The make-up artist admitted her goal was solely to use ITV to grow her business.

She explained:

I set out what I wanted to achieve and that was to gain followers and to grow my business. I said to them ‘you should have a purpose’ and it made them feel threatened.

Farida also likened herself to Nick Bateman who tried to influence nominations. She said:

Yeah! Yeah. You have to be smart.
People might say I was all ‘me, me, me.’ Well, absolutely, why shouldn’t I?
