Warringtonian Lily Benson, a 20-year-old Chinese takeaway worker, was recently evicted from the Big Brother house, making her the sixth contestant to leave the show. Despite being a fan favorite and initially predicted to win the series, Lily received the most nominations from her fellow housemates, totaling 18 throughout her time on the show.
During her exit interview on Big Brother Late and Live, Lily expressed gratitude for being saved by the public twice before her eviction. She mentioned that being evicted on week five wasn’t a huge disappointment, as she had already surpassed her expectations of being eliminated in the first week. Lily humbly stated that even if she had won, it wouldn’t have been ethical as she believed she would have wasted the prize money.
Despite facing the most nominations in the series, Lily took the news in stride and even welcomed the challenge, showing her resilient and positive attitude. Reflecting on her rule-breaking behavior in the house, such as eating a housemate’s chocolate and revealing her nominations, Lily admitted that her actions were not justified, but she couldn’t resist in the moment due to the lack of sweets and intense situations.
Looking back on her time in the Big Brother house, Lily acknowledged that the experience had boosted her confidence and led to the formation of new friendships. She expressed her desire to stay in touch with several housemates, including Ali, Khaled, Nathan, Hanah, and Daze. Lily’s journey on the show showcased her growth in confidence and her ability to form meaningful connections with others.
For fans of the show, Big Brother airs daily on ITV2 at 9 pm, except on Saturdays, providing viewers with the opportunity to follow the remaining contestants’ journey in the house. Lily’s eviction marked a significant moment in the series, highlighting the unpredictable nature of reality TV and the impact it can have on both contestants and audiences alike.
