Big Brother 2014 fans have reacted angrily to the announcement that Ashleigh Coyle will face eviction this week after being led to believe the Power Alliance had immunity.

As the Power Housemate, Ashleigh teamed up with Chris and Mark to decide who to put up for the public vote, with the trio nominating Steven, Ash, Pav and Zoe.

The Power Alliance was told that they’d be immune from eviction – an announcement that was also made to viewers, with a Channel 5 press release issued yesterday stating: “All Housemates in the Alliance will be immune from eviction.”

However, despite this, last night saw the nominees get the chance to swap one of themselves for a Power Alliance member. They saved Ash, before Ashleigh – who became the Power Housemate as a result of a free public vote – was put in the firing line.

Show bosses are now facing a furious backlash from viewers, who have bombarded the official Twitter and Facebook pages with comments accusing them of lying – while bbspy has also received scores of tweets protesting the twist.

“They are just making it up as they go along by the day,” said @FoxyRhino, and @LaLouKaLaLouKa fumed: “Ffs I’m not wasting my hard earned voting anymore”.

“This is ridiculous! How can they promise safety to the PHM and revoke it like that!” questioned @Werring_Lisa, with @JoshuaTindall agreeing: “What an absolute joke when we voted for Ashleigh to be the power housemate. Ridiculous twist.”

@SuperBigBrother observed that the producers had “just dug themselves a grave”, and @N1_Angel said that they’ve “lost all credibility”. @FaxBluenose also blasted them for going “way too far with this one”.

Meanwhile, Big Brother presenters Emma Willis and Rylan Clark have also taken to Twitter to express confusion over Ashleigh’s nomination.

“WTF?? Why am I getting tweets saying Ashleigh is up??? She’s immune isn’t she?” wondered Rylan. Once his followers had clued him in, he added: “WHAAAAAATTTTT??????”

The morning, Emma wrote: “What the hell is going on..? Just looked at my messages and everyone is saying Ashleigh is up..?”

Last week, viewers also complained after the public vote for evictions was ditched for the first time in Big Brother UK history.
