Lily Benson revealed the interesting fact that the reason for her to join Big Brother UK is because it was her ex-boyfriend’s favorite show. She ended terms with her partner when she found out that he was cheating on her.
Benson is the competitor in the 21st season of the British reality television show, Big Brother. She entered the Big Brother House alongside 15 other housemates on October 6, 2024.
Lily is already one of the fan favorites to win the show, including the 27-year-old, Sarah Griffiths. However, she hasn’t been so popular with some of her housemates.
Moreover, Big Brother viewers have asked for Benson’s eviction from the show over her nose-picking habit. Despite the other housemates objecting to her unhygienic habit, Lily hasn’t stopped picking her nose on live television.
In fact, Lily was caught on TV sticking her finger up her nose in front of other housemates and eating the contents.
