Big Brother's Farida will return for latest Halloween task
She returns as a ghost!
Last updated 30th Oct 2023
With Halloween taking place on Tuesday 31st October, it sounds like Big Brother bosses are getting right in the spirit, revealing some huge twists and turns for the remaining housemates!
As well as a shock eviction set to take place, former housemate Farida will return as a 'ghost', with host Will Best confirming this week's plans on Big Brother: Late and Live.
During a sneak peek, Farida appears as a ghost in the house as the housemates take part in a spooky Ouija board, where they chant Farida's name three times before she appears behind a two-way mirror.
As well as Farida, rumours are rife that Zak and Hallie will also return as ghosts for the task, which is called Room 101.
This week will also see one random housemate become 'possessed', resulting in a shock back-door eviction following a flash vote on Monday night's (30th October) Late and Live.
Giving details of the latest task, Will said: "One housemate is going to be possessed, and this housemate will then have the power to put three other housemates up for eviction, and those three housemates will have no idea that they face the potential eviction.
"The possessed housemate will have to act in secret, but will be able to recruit another housemate to help with their decision."

In other Big Brother news, 18-year-old transgender contestant Hallie lost her place in the house last week, after she was evicted ahead of both Dylan and Trish during Friday night's live eviction.
Speaking to AJ and Will during her eviction interview, she said: “That was amazing, my mum is the one person I wanted to see first and I’m so glad she was there. The feeling I got from the crowd, I loved it.”
Speaking about the empowering moment where she revealed to her fellow housemates she is a transgender woman, Hallie added: “The first night I wanted to see how the housemates were and their opinions on things and whatnot and going to sleep on the first night I felt as though they were all such genuine people and they would respect me. So it was on my mind the whole first night.
“The next morning, my heart was beating out of my chest and I was s---ing myself. But once I had said, ‘I am a trans woman’, and it was so empowering, it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders. The response from everyone was so lovely and I appreciate every single housemate in that house.
“They’re all so beautiful and special and unique in their way. The love I felt from all of them I really appreciated it."
Big Brother airs Sunday-Friday at 9pm on ITV2/STV2.
