CELEBRITY Big Brother viewers have slammed the show for airing less than 10 minutes of Friday’s action in the house.
Former decathlete Daley Thompson was voted out on Friday night, after being nominated by housemates alongside EastEnders star Patsy Palmer.

But fans are questioning what they might have missed, with only a snippet of what went on inside the house on eviction day actually shown by ITV.
One said on X: “So we had 9 minutes of content from the WHOLE of Friday. Why aren’t people more fuming about this? Housemates should not have a day off from the experiment.”
And in response to that comment, another added: “We’ve said this every week for the last 3 years of ITV. It’s frustrating at this point…”
While a third asked: “What happened between 8am – 8pm on Friday?”
It comes after Daley called his housemates “rats”, having being shown footage of what had been said about him, when talking to CBB co-hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best following his eviction.
After initially praising his “funny, revealing, great” celebrity housemates, the 66-year-old changed his tune upon seeing some of the reasons given for nominating him.
Daley discovered he’d been nominated four times, by Patsy, Angelica Bell, Chris Hughes and Donna Preston.
Then, after hearing Patsy and Chris say he didn’t help out enough around the house, he became agitated and said something to the audience before turning on his fellow celebs.
He said: “None of them surprised me because they’re all rats.”
Daley even went so far as to swear on his son’s life that he did his fair share of household chores and the washing up, then pointed out his son in the audience as he was saying it.
Later on, Daley took a further swipe at housemates, saying: “In there, all you can do, I think is, all I could do is just try and be the person that I am.
“Whereas all the people in there – they’re all performative artists, there are some people who are professional reality stars, if you do that all the time, you know how to play the game.”
The two-time Olympic gold medallist also admitted to having a competitive nature but insisted that didn’t extend to wanting to triumph on the show.
Again pointing at his son in the audience, Daley said: “No, it’s absolutely out of my control. I’d have been happy to come out first or last, on that boy’s head.”
Daley was the third person evicted from the house, the fourth in total to leave the series.
Actor Mickey Rourke was removed, with politician Michael Fabricant the first to face the public vote, followed by Trisha Goddard who left on Tuesday night.
Daley then made an appearance on CBB spin-off show Late and Live with guest Tiffany Pollard, when he said she “had no friends” for talking as outlandishly as she does.
His comment led to Tiffany labelling him “rotten”.
