OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Big Brother’ contestant Farida Khalifa had a game plan the whole time.
The 50-year-old make-up artist – who was the first person to be evicted from the house on the ITV reboot of the revolutionary reality show after being put up for nomination against NHS manager Kerry, 40, on Friday (13.10.23) night – admitted that she was plotting to use her appearance on the programme to boost her profile in the public sphere.
In her exit interview with host AJ Odudu on ‘Big Brother: Late and Live’, she said: “I didn’t feel like they were disrespectful towards my religion. I just felt they couldn’t cope with hearing some home truths.
“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.”
The former ‘Blankety Blank’ contestant agreed with comparisons between herself and Nicholas ‘Nasty Nick’ Bateman – who competed on the first-ever edition of ‘Big Brother’ in 2000 and was very upfront and honest about having a game plan to win the cash prize prize – as she understood the importance of being “smart” while on the telly to help her life outside of the house.
She added: “Yeah! Yeah. You have to be smart. People might say I was all ‘me, me, me.’ Well, absolutely, why shouldn’t I?”
Farida – who doesn’t drink due to her Muslim faith – also spilt about the housemates being supplied with booze “most evenings”, but her co-stars managed to keep it together and not get too carried away.
She revealed: “They get alcohol most evenings. Because I don’t drink I don’t really understand amounts. But Olivia was given a bottle of Prosecco. But I didn’t think ‘god they’re drunk’. They’re not rolling about.”
