Big Brother viewers mock housemates as they breakdown while reading letters from home

Big Brother Housemates were unable to contain their emotions after receiving letters from home on Monday night. 

But while the housemates were pouring out their hearts while speaking about their loved ones – viewers were less-than-impressed. 

Twitter erupted with mockery over the bizarre display after the housemates have been in away for only 17 days. 

‘You’d think all their families have died with this editing,’ one viewer wrote. 

Another irate viewer thought it was a little early: ‘I just find letters from home this early to be a bit dull. Save it for final week.’ 

Yet another wrote: ‘It’s day 17. Calm down.’ 

After ‘evicted’ housemate Angela Clancy returned to the game, housemates were treated to an Italian fest together. 

While the tension was obvious, it was then that Shane was asked to go to the diary room by Big Brother. 

Shane spoke lovingly of his wife and kids: ‘Geez, you get me every time Big Brother. Softie discharge. Wife and kids would be great [to hear from],’ he said.  

The marriage celebrant took a pink box out containing letters, with the housemates getting emotional immediately upon hearing from their loved ones.  

Housemate Mat spoke of his fiancé Jess: ‘She is the best thing to happen to me. She came into my life when I needed it,’ he said. 

Even former AFL star Dan Gorringe lost it over his ex-girlfriend, Ana.

‘[She’s] The girl I am trying to rekindle my love affair with. She’s the love of my life. I don’t think I have ever loved someone this much,’ he said of her.

While male model Chad read a loving note from his mother.

Big Brother continues on Channel Seven, 7.30pm.
