Big Brother contestant Zak has given his verdict on the very loud chants calling for fellow housemate Kerry to leave from upon his eviction.

Zak was the second housemate to be sent packing in the live show on Friday, after Farida became the first the week prior. 

He was pitted against Henry, but ultimately, Zak was voted to leave the Big Brother house.

However, in the moments before the presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best pair revealed the result, the crowd were heard chanting: “Get Kerry out.”

“I’m not surprised at all by the viewers chanting that” – Zak

This did not go unnoticed by housemates, who seemed shocked by the extremely vocal reaction from fans. 

Speaking to Attitude in the aftermath of his eviction, Zak has admitted he was “not surprised at all” by the reaction from the live audience. 

He told us: “I’m not surprised at all by the viewers chanting that.

“When I was having general conversations with Kerry, she’s a lovely woman. When she’s speaking about her little boy, speaking about work, she’s very passionate about everything, and she seems like a good mother.

“I think there was good intentions with Kerry, and I felt like she was a nice woman.”

But Zak noted that he believes Kerry was “trying to play the mother role just to be safe” in the Big Brother house. 

He went on: “The only bad thing I can say about her is that when she did something wrong, she would try to guilt trip people and blame it on other people. I feel like she can’t admit a fault. 

“If you do something wrong, you should be able to own up to it and I feel like she was just too scared to own up to her own faults. 

“What she did to me and what she did to me, and Matty, I felt that was wrong. She just needs to learn that if she’s gonna do something wrong, she needs to own up to it. 

“I feel like Jordan’s gonna win because the public loves Jordan so much!”

“I wasn’t surprised by people trying to get her out at all,” he added. 

NHS worker Kerry has already addressed the reaction on the programme, which she put down to “speaking her mind in the Diary Room” about Zak, and being “team Henry”. 

Elsewhere, Zak also let us know who he’s rooting for, and he has a lot of love for Noky. 

“Me and Noky shared a lot of moments together, we were very close. She was like my little sister in there, and I felt like we had a lot in common

“We just wanted to share the love to everyone in the house and spread ourselves out, and in that small environment, it just goes to show that it looks like you’re playing the game. 

He told us he’s also backing Dylan and Trish, but believes it’s Jordan who will ultimately be crowned winner. 

The model concluded: “I feel like Jordan’s gonna win because the public loves Jordan so much!”

Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
