As the finale of Big Brother approached and the tension in the house grew, Ali Bromley, the eventual winner, found herself on the verge of quitting the show. Despite her popularity with the public, Ali felt like she was being kept in for entertainment value rather than her own merit. In fact, on the morning of her win, she had a heated argument with fellow housemate Marcello, which left her feeling terrible and ready to throw in the towel.
In an interview with Metro, Ali revealed that she woke up the morning of the finale feeling unsure about staying until the end. She thought to herself, "I've made it to the final, that's enough for me." But then she had a change of heart. She realized that she had come so far and she should try to enjoy the last moments of her Big Brother experience.
The production team also played a crucial role in convincing Ali to stay. They reminded her of all the hard work she had put in and encouraged her to push through until the end. Ali also had a heart-to-heart with Marcello, which helped to resolve their issues and bring them closer. In the end, Ali stayed and went on to make history as the oldest female winner and the first lesbian winner in the UK.
However, Ali admitted that there were times when she was ready to walk out of the house. She even started packing her bags at one point, but every time she came close to leaving, something or someone convinced her to stay. Ali also shared that there were moments when she felt like she was being portrayed negatively on the show, especially after some rough times with her fellow housemates. She wondered if she was only being kept in so that viewers could see her conflicts with others.
One of the most talked-about moments of Ali's time in the Big Brother house was when she wore a pro-Palestine T-shirt. The shirt, which featured a watermelon design, was later edited out of the show due to backlash from the charity Campaign Against Antisemitism. They saw the design as a symbol of solidarity with Palestine, but also as a message promoting the elimination of Israel.
When asked about the controversy, Ali explained that she would never intentionally wear anything that would cause harm or offend anyone. She had worn the shirt as a way to show her support for charities in the region and promote peace. Ali also clarified that standing in solidarity with one group does not mean she is against finding a solution that brings peace for everyone involved.
As for the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, Ali admitted that she had not had a chance to catch up on the media coverage. She did, however, have conversations with her fellow housemates about the issue. Ali emphasized that she believes in finding a solution that brings peace for all involved and that she supports a peaceful resolution.
As the Big Brother finale approached, all eyes were on Ali Bromley, the 38-year-old contestant who had the chance to become the first ever lesbian winner of the UK reality TV show. But little did the public know, Ali was seriously considering leaving the programme just hours before her historic victory.
Despite her immense popularity with viewers, Ali couldn't shake the feeling that she was only being kept in the house for entertainment purposes. This feeling intensified on the morning of the finale when she had a heated argument with fellow housemate Marcello Dentamaro, with whom she had clashed numerous times before.
"I woke up feeling terrible and just thought, 'I need to get out'," Ali shared in an interview with Metro. "I even considered not staying for the finale. But then I realized, making it to the final was already a win for me. I never thought I'd make it this far. Maybe that's enough."
But it wasn't just her argument with Marcello that made Ali consider quitting. She also revealed that she was convinced by the production team to stay, and even shared a hug with Marcello to make amends. With their support, Ali decided to push through and try to enjoy the remaining moments of her Big Brother experience.
However, Ali did admit that there were times when she was ready to walk out of the house for good. She even packed her bags and made the decision to leave during a particularly difficult argument with another housemate, Khaled. But every time she was close to leaving, someone convinced her to stay.
"I think if it had been easy to leave, I would have just walked out the door," Ali said. "But every time I was close, I was called into the diary room and given support from the welfare team and psychologist. It was their support that ultimately made me stay."
Despite her decision to stay in the house, Ali still struggled with negative thoughts and the fear of being perceived negatively by viewers. She had gone through some rough times in the house and was convinced that her conflicts with other housemates were the only reason she was still in the running.
This belief was further fueled by a controversial moment in the show when Ali wore a pro-Palestine T-shirt. The T-shirt, which featured a watermelon design in the shape of Israel on a map, sparked backlash from the charity Campaign Against Antisemitism. The charity accused Ali of promoting a genocidal message and causing distress among the British Jewish community.
But Ali clarified that she would never intentionally wear something that would hurt others or show any kind of bias. She had worn the T-shirt as a sign of solidarity with the people in the region and was not against finding a peaceful solution for all parties involved.
"I haven't had a chance to catch up on the media coverage of the conflict," Ali explained. "But I have had conversations with people from Big Brother about it."
Despite the controversies and challenges she faced during her time in the Big Brother house, Ali emerged as the ultimate winner, breaking barriers and making history. And she hopes to use her platform to spread positivity and promote peace.
