Becky and Connor leave the Big Brother House

Becky Hannon is the ninth housemate to be voted out of Big Brother summer 2012 while in a sensational twist Conor McIntyre is the tenth contestant to leave the show.

19-year-old Becky  from Blackburn entered the house as the first ever ‘Wildcard’ contestant to be voted into the Big Brother house, in the history of the series.
Earlier this week in a shocking twist, the remaining 9 housemates saw friends and family take their places in the diary room, to nominate the two housemates they wanted to face the public ‘vote to save.’ As a result Becky faced the public vote after being nominated alongside fellow housemates Ashleigh, Deana and Luke A.

Upon leaving the Big Brother house host Brian Dowling asked Becky how she felt. “I expected to leave, I’ve been a gossip and probably people don’t like that.”

Later, after the four-day White Room task, came to a conclusion when Conor and Luke S (pictured together above) were faced with a decision that would change their lives forever. They knew was that one of them would win a pass to the Big Brother final, but what they didn’t know was that one of them could potentially snatch half of the £100 000 Big Brother prize fund. However, that housemate would have to leave the house immediately with their cold, hard cash. If neither of them decided to choose the cash, then they would both return to the main house with one of them winning a pass to the final.

Tonight, 24-year-old Conor, the personal trainer from Northern Ireland made the decision to press the buzzer and as a result, left the Big Brother house with £50.000 following a brief farewell from his housemates. In a tense stand-off both housemates were presented with the chance to take the £50,000 and Conor took it. Luke S will return to the house with a guaranteed pass to the final.

When host Brian Dowling asked Conor why he decided to take the money he said: “He (Luke S) knew how much this would change my life, he’s got a job, I still live with my mum and dad, the only reason we were friends were because of Ash’.” He added that Luke S would be “gutted but at the end of the day I’m the one with the 50 grand!”
