Big Brother viewers call for Chinese takeaway worker Lily Benson's eviction after being appalled by her 'disgusting, gross and deranged' nose-picking habit

As I delve deeper into this whirlwind of Big Brother UK, I find myself utterly entangled in the enigma that is Lily. A woman who seems to have been catapulted from the quaint town of Warrington straight into the heart of chaos, she’s certainly stirred up a storm among viewers.


Viewers of Big Brother expressed strong feelings, even going so far as to liken it to nausea, when they advocated for the removal of contestant Lily Benson due to her bothersome nose-picking behavior that many found distasteful.

The young employee at the Chinese takeout, aged 20, has sparked excitement among viewers of the social experiment, as she confessed that she picks and eats her nose boogers.

Despite strong opposition from fellow housemates about her unclean practice, Lily persisted in following this habit on national television during last Friday’s broadcast.

During a recap on Sunday’s installment, Lily was sat on the sofa after the evictions.

Appearing remarkably unfazed, she nonchalantly picked her nose in full view of her housemates prior to consuming what she’d gathered.

However, some viewers found the presented content on ITV disturbing, with several requesting her removal due to the repeated behavior they deemed distasteful.

One penned: ‘Lily needs to be evicted purely for picking her nose and eating it. Dirty cow’

As I began to appreciate Lily more, the video clip of her picking and consuming something from her nose left a sour taste. To me, she now seems unrefined and somewhat disorganized, which detracts significantly from my initial positive impression. #bbuk #BigBrotherUK

‘Nah that was gross lily picking her nose and eating it lmao #BBUK’

‘Did lily just pick her nose and lick it eww #BBUK’

‘Lily picking her nose and eating it at her big age ? Sorry but ew. Please get that annoying girl out. She’s not even entertaining.. just annoying #BBUK’

‘Lily I love you….. but the picking your nose and eating it  #BBUK’

Lily, who is already 20 years old, still picks her nose and eats it? Incredibly unsanitary. What kind of upbringing did she have? #bbuk (Big Brother UK)

‘As if lily just picked her nose on tv #bbuk’

And this is not the only time Lily has divided viewers. 

In just two days since the debut of the show, Lily had already performed Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” at 3 AM, made a snorting sound reminiscent of a pig, and made fun of her competition.

The roommate from Warrington, who’s openly admitted having a crush on Thomas, appears to have primarily used her time in the house to irk everyone else.

Fans of the show expressed their feelings about X as follows: “Lily is pushing my limits, I’m not sure I can endure six weeks of her”; or “I occasionally consider joining Big Brother, but then I recall that I’d be stuck with characters like Lily. In just two hours, my impatient self would be leaving the house again.

‘Don’t care if Lily is faking it. Don’t care if Lily has absolutely no self awareness and is actually this annoying in real life. Just care that she’s been in there for five minutes and is already sending everyone else over the edge’; Lily is so annoying I can’t handle 6 weeks of this.’ 

‘Lily is insufferable already. It’s not even been 48 hours’; ‘I fear I too would be lying on the floor at 4.30am crying if Lily was screaming and waving an Alison Hammond sign around’; ‘Nah Lily is stressing me OUT’; ‘They’re already sick of lily and i don’t BLAME them at all’; 

It seems unusual that Lily always appears this way; I can hardly believe it’s her everyday reality. Maybe she’s grown tired of her own image? Alternatively, she might be so unique as to seem iconic.

Lily confessed that she had no prior knowledge about Big Brother, but she decided to apply for the show since it was her former partner’s favorite television program.

Upon our separation, an advertisement caught my eye and I decided to give it a shot by applying for his favorite television program – honestly, I hadn’t expected myself to do so. Additionally, I believe the experience would be quite exciting.

She jokingly replied when asked about potential nomination for eviction: “I guess it’s because I can be a bit irritating, but honestly, I couldn’t care less.

Upon approaching the house, she shared: “Others might initially perceive me as quirky or bothersome, and truthfully, there’s a grain of truth in that.

‘I love tea, I literally have 20 cups a day, like no joke. If someone’s messing with the old tea bags, I’m going to tea bag someone, no I won’t do that, I don’t have balls, but I’m going to do something, probably nothing.’

At the outset of Monday’s broadcast, it was noticeable that Lily and Sarah appeared to clash, with friction growing due to a surprising turn of events.

11 participants found out they weren’t actual roommates and were instead placed in cramped, less-than-ideal living conditions when they were put together in an uncomfortable setting after being told about the change in their housing arrangements.

Due to this, Lily made fun of Sarah’s refined accent, which ultimately led Sarah, aged 27, to break down crying, feeling overpowered by the Big Brother experience.

Addressing X’s followers, I said, “Fans seem to adore it already”: “Looks like the housemates are fighting already?”: “It seems tears have been shed already”: “Sarah is finding things difficult, for goodness sake, give up if it’s too hard”: “Who predicted Lily and Sarah having disagreements on day 1?”.
