CELEBRITY Big Brother fans have turned against Trisha Goddard as they brand her a “fun sponge”.
Some ITV viewers have called for TV talk show host Trisha, 67, to be booted off next.
CBB fans were also annoyed at the star for “patronising” some of her housemates – especially during a conversation with former Tory MP Michael Fabricant about immigration.
One viewer wrote: “She’s absolutely awful. She’s turning into a real fun sponge. And never mind Trisha – more like Patronising Patricia!”
A second posted: “She’s trying to turn it into the Trisha show. She irritated me from day one – telling Danny off for being loud – her opinion. It was the first night in Big Brother house, what did she expect? Everyone was excited.”
While other fans have hit out at the TV presenter for often turning the conversation back to her when chatting with housemates.
“Trisha Goddard wants to rule them all. She’s stirring the pot more than Patsy and Mickey,” a third said.
A fourth commented: “Trisha tries to take over and manipulate every conversation. Like the Mohammed Ali conversation. I wanted to hear that. She turned it into a story about her!”
Another added: “Trisha even managed to make Angellica’s special anniversary moment all about her, once again turning it in the Trisha show.”
Earlier this week, CBB found itself at the centre of a race row after Trisha accused one housemate of ‘Islamophobia’.
Trisha was quick to throw the term at politician Michael as he gave a speech to their co-stars.
The former Conservative MP was addressing the housemates after being told to give a ‘speech’ for the latest CBB task.
Michael began by announcing that he would scrapped the controversial HS2 high-speed train serviced that will eventually link Manchester and London.
He was then asked by EastEnders star Patsy Palmer whether the UK should ever rejoin the European Union.
Michael said he does not think it should before the subject moved on to immigration at the request of Chesney Hawkes.
The former MP for Lichfield in Staffordshire told the housemates that he welcomes immigrants, providing they don’t expect to “change everybody’s” way of thinking.
He explained he has a French surname and is of “Jewish extraction”, to which Trisha shouted: “Oi!”
Michael continued: “Jewish people when they usually come to this country believe, do in Rome as the Roman’s do.”
“Do not come to this country if your aim is to change everybody to your way of thinking.”
Trisha immediately piped up and shouted: “Hang on!”
She continued: “Are you slipping into Islamophobia? Because you’re going to have trouble. It’s getting dangerous.”
Michael – who admitted he had no filter before entering the CBB house – looked taken aback and refuted her claim, saying: “Who has mentioned Islam?”
As Daley Thompson got up to leave, Trisha said: “Yeah, it’s getting dangerous.”
Celebrity Big Brother 2025 line-up
Celebrity Big Brother is back for a brand new series, with a whole host of stars set to live it up in the famous compound.
Here’s the FULL line-up of star housemates:
Trisha Goddard – Talk show host
Mickey Rourke – Hollywood actor
Donna Preston – comedian and TV star
JoJo Siwa – influencer and singer
Chris Hughes – Love Island hunk
Jack P. Shepherd – Coronation Street star
Patsy Palmer – EastEnders legend
Daley Thompson – Olympic athlete
Chesney Hawkes – 90s singer
Ella Rae Wise – Towie star
Michael Fabricant – former Tory politician
Angellica Bell – former CBBC presenter
Danny Beard – Drag queen and Britain’s Got Talent
Michael continued: “I’m trying to explain this country has benefited from wave upon wave of immigration.”
He later received support from some of his fellow housemates, including Chris Hughes and Chesney.
Michael has since become the first housemate to be evicted from Celebrity Big Brother 2025.
When asked by hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best about the incident, he slammed Trisha for “having an agenda”.
“She misunderstands how politics is a broad thing and how you can be a left wing Tory and a right wing Labour guy. They overlap,” he said.
Michael added: “I think only one person took it too seriously but anyway.”
