It's been a juicy week for Big Brother goss. All six finalists have left the Big Brother house (one of them £90k richer) and have spent their first week IRL chatting to journalists and podcasters about their six weeks inside Britain's most famous house. We love us some Big Brother tea, but even we've been struggling to keep up - and we're literally paid to keep up.
The latest Big Brother 2024 tea spillage comes courtesy of absolute legend of legends Emma Morgan – who we're manifesting a comedy podcast for, because the laughs we have laughed because of Emma – who took to social media earlier this week for one SERIOUS Instagram Q&A where she answered SO many juicy Big Brother questions.
One follower asked the Big Brother finalist to address THOSE Ali Bromley feud rumours and she did not hold back. Not re Ali, re all you lot stirring the pot on socials and Reddit. According to Emma, despite some fan assumptions, she 'loves' Ali and stressed that she doesn't understand why people think there's beef.
Emma told her followers, ‘Oh my God, yes, I love Ali. I don’t know why people think me and Ali didn’t get on. There wasn’t any issues there. Me and Ali had some proper deep and meaningful chats there, and we’ll be talking much more. Ali lost her brother, she spoke about that, I lost my mum, and we both kind of bonded over that in the house. Doesn’t matter – my mum died nine years ago and my heart still breaks for her. It was a lot rawer for Ali, it wasn’t that long ago really.
'But yeah, me and Ali, as far as I’m aware loved each other in that house, so that speculation needs to stop.’
Devil's advocate here – to be fair, there was slight tension between the two in their final days in the house when Emma clocked Lily Benson and Ali talking about her round the sofas, and then when Emma confronted Ali about it, she flat-out denied it. So we can see where these rumours have come from. But from the looks of the things, that's all water under the bridge for our Emma. Good, because we want to obsess over these Big Brother queens in equal measure.
In our recent exclusive interview with Ali, the Big Brother winner revealed why she decided not to tell Emma the truth about her sofa gossiping. She told us, 'Obviously, I was asked if I'd been talking about Emma on one of the previous days by Emma and it looks really bad because I obviously say no, and my defence of it doesn't make me sound any better, but actually, Lily and I were talking about quite a few people.
'[Emma] asked me that question and I was like, "I don't know," and I had to decide in a split second, do I just say yes, so at least if it comes out I look really honest, or do I just say no because I can't remember what we talked about? So, I went with no because if I say yes, she's going to ask me what [about], I'm going to look like I'm lying anyway.'
