Big Brother housemate waves Palestine scarf during eviction following ITV editing row

In previous episodes of the series, any reference to Palestine or the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, has been edited out by ITV – including a watermelon t-shirt, worn by fellow housemate, Ali.

One housemate, Khaled, who is from Palestine, took the opportunity during the live show to hold up a scarf showing the state’s flag.

Last night’s episode of Big Brother saw two fan favourites evicted from the house (8 November), however, it wasn’t their departure that sparked the biggest conversation online.
