Big Brother contestant stages 'sit in' protest following latest rule breaks

Big Brother was full of fireworks on Tuesday night with one contestant attempting to stage a 'sit in' protest following the latest rule breaks.

All housemates were placed on basic rations after those who lost out on the latest shopping task, ate items belonging to the luxury budget winners anyway.

Still reeling from Big Brother's initial decision, Sarah went to the diary room and asked for some sugar for her tea.

Upon being refused, she threatened to take legal action.

replied: "Big Brother will see you in court. Had you not broken the rules, you would be swimming in the stuff (sugar)."

Sarah then curled up on the chair, with Big Brother informing her to not get too comfortable.

She claimed to be staging a 'sit in' protest.

As she refused to leave the diary room, alarm noises usually used to wake up housemates that have returned to bed were played into the room.

This was followed by farm noises and sounds of a construction site.

While she danced on the chair, she told the camera: "I'm giving you some sugar, so give me some sugar."

In a last ditch attempt to get her to leave, Big Brother offered to tell a joke before playing clips of fellow contestant Lily screaming on a loop, which finally convinced Sarah to leave.

After the Halloween-themed shopping task earlier in the week, only half of the house were awarded the luxury shopping budget while the rest of the housemates have to survive on basic rations. And due to the rule break, it now means the entire house are on basic rations.

However, Sarah wasn't the first housemate to air their grievances over the rule break.

Hanah previously complained about the lack of luxury as she fumed: "My stomach is growling, I feel sick and you lot aren’t feeding me - you’re giving me carbs, bread and s**t like that. I can't even eat it, I’m not a basic ration girl. I'm so serious, I'm not okay!" adding she wanted her suitcase so she could exit Big Brother that night.

Big Brother was quick to calm Hanah down pointing out they needed time to make the "necessary arrangements" for a housemate to leave the house, adding: "Big Brother suggests you take the night to think about it and talk to your fellow housemates about how you're feeling."

Big Brother continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
