Trisha Goddard’s daughter slams Celebrity Big Brother crowd for booing her cancer-stricken mother

Trisha Goddard’s daughter slams Celebrity Big Brother crowd for booing her cancer-stricken mother

Trisha Goddard’s daughter slammed the Celebrity Big Brother crowd for booing her cancer-stricken mother as she got evicted from the house on Tuesday night.

The veteran broadcaster, 67, had signed up for the ITV show to prove to patients they should ‘not be scared of living’ after being diagnosed with terminal stage four cancer.

But after going head-to-head with Patsy Palmer and Jack P Shepherd in the public vote, Trisha received the fewest number of votes to be saved, and so bid farewell after nine days on the show.

As Trisha headed out of the house the crowd gave her a less than warm reception – after she had sparked a race row by accusing Michael Fabricant of ‘Islamophobia’ last week while in the house. 

Trisha’s daughter Billie has now told The Mirror: ‘I had seen some hateful accounts on X encouraging people in the crowd to boo mum, so I was personally prepared for that. I do think that reaction is a very poor reflection of certain parts of our society though. 

‘To boo at a woman living with incurable cancer because you didn’t like how she appeared on a heavily edited reality TV show – whilst she is receiving treatment – is pretty sad.

‘You can disagree with someone or dislike someone without being hateful or hurtful. I actually feel really sorry for those people – it can’t be nice carrying all of that hate and bitterness around.’

Viewers were also outraged as the episode aired, penning on X: ‘Yes Trisha is opinionated and sometimes talks too much about herself but she’s certainly not worthy of being booed, especially when she has terminal cancer like the crowd can F off with that #CBBUK.’,

‘Regardless of whether or not you find trisha likeable, booing a woman with stage 4 cancer is a genuinely terrible thing to do and this audience should be embarrᴀssed #cbbuk.’,

‘Trisha saying she likes the distractions in the house and there are losers booing her – I don’t care how annoying she is, don’t be heartless #cbbuk.’ 

After she left the house the presenter admitted she was ‘a bit sad’ to be leaving the show.

Speaking to hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best, Trisha brushed off the housemates’ reasons for nominating her, especially Chesney Hawkes’ that conversations with her felt like being on her talk show.

She said: ‘That’s actually a great compliment… No because we all said we were all scratching around in the dirt to find something negative to stay around each other.’

The star also reflected on her decision to sign up for the show, admitting it was a welcome break for her from cancer treatment.

She added: ‘Really, it meant a lot, it meant a lot, it was respite it was a holiday from having to think about cancer. I didn’t have to think of the next scan, and I could be like a child again.

‘Yes I did talk about cancer because I had to, and it is part of my life, as it is for 3.4 million Brits. It was just a break from having to think about it.

‘Heavy subjects came up now and again, but it was just a break!’

Trisha received her terminal diagnosis 20 months ago and received palliative care while in the house.

Trisha has secondary breast cancer – meaning the disease started in the breast and spread to another part of the body – for which there is treatment but no cure.

In February last year, she revealed her cancer had returned after previously being given the all-clear.

As well as having her own private room during her stay in the house, the broadcaster had with her ‘a bag full of meds’ amid her ongoing cancer treatment.

Last week, Celebrity Big Brother also became embroiled in a race row after Trisha accused fellow housemate Michael of ‘Islamophobia’

The TV host was quick to slam the former Tory MP after he was made to give a political speech as part of the show’s first shopping task.

When Chesney Hawkes asked his opinion on the tense topic of immigration Michael shared insight into his own background which was of ‘Jewish decent’.

He said: ‘Jewish people when they usually come to this country believe, do in Rome as the Roman’s do.’

‘Do not come to this country if your aim is to change everybody to your way of thinking.’

Trisha exclaimed: ‘Hang on! Are you slipping into Islamophobia? Because you’re going to have trouble. It’s getting dangerous.’

However Michael hit back saying: ‘I’m trying to explain this country has benefited from wave upon wave of immigration’.

On Monday, Celebrity Big Brother also accidentally revealed the nomination result early as eagle-eyed viewers spotted a major fail.

Fans saw who was up for eviction, ahead of the nominations being aired, after a glimpse of the living room’s TV wall was shown with the stars pH๏τos visible for all to see in a blink and you miss it moment.

Racing to X fans claimed both Trisha, 67, and Ella Rae Wise, 24, would be facing the public vote ahead of Friday’s live eviction – however it was actually Trisha, Patsy and Jack who received the most votes. 

One wrote: ‘They just spoiled nominations with a close up of Mickey’s face on the screen surrounded my the nominated celebrities…’ 

While someone else said: ‘They spoiled this weeks nominations Ella and Trisha are both up for nomination this week’.

It comes after Mickey Rourke reportedly had his fee dramatically slashed by a whopping 90% following his axe from the house on Sunday. 

The Hollywood actor, 72, was booted due to his repeated ‘offensive and inappropriate’ language, which included making vile Sєxual remarks towards Ella, issuing homophobic threats to JoJo Siwa, 24; and squaring up to Chris Hughes, 32.

After initially landing an eye-popping ITV payday of £500K, the disgraced star will now walk away with just £50,000, according to The Sun. 

A source said: ‘Mickey didn’t do Celebrity Big Brother for the experience and was counting on that money. 

‘He’s lost a huge amount by leaving the show early. It was worked out on a pro rata basis. Conversations are ongoing so the fee may change but a contract is a contract.’ 

MailOnline have contacted ITV and Mickey’s reps for comment. 

Fans rejoiced on X after Mickey was ‘finally’ removed from the house following a string of incidents that left his co-stars and viewers at home uncomfortable.
