Big Brother evicted Simone Reed and Sue Evans in a shock double eviction which rocked the compound on Friday.

But fun-loving Simone, 28, broke down into tears when she recalled her traumatic childhood in an emotional interview with Emma Willis after leaving the house.

Reminiscing, she said: 'Growing up as a child I witnessed heavy drug taking, I've not had a father until I was 18 - I visited prisons for half of my childhood.'
