Big Brother viewers slammed Kerry for throwing a tantrum while taking part in the latest shopping task during Monday’s episode of the show.
The housemates will face a number of challenges over the coming days, including sleeping outside and facing the elements in various forms.
While Big Brother has instructed the housemates to remain as happy as possible throughout the task, Kerry incensed viewers as she burst into tears and screamed within minutes of the task starting.
It comes after the NHS manager, 40, left viewers baffled on Sunday when she told how she’d voted for the Conservative party since the age of 18, before moaning about being in a higher tax bracket due to her salary.
Kerry’s whining did not sit well with viewers with many taking to Twitter to complain about her behaviour.
Not coping? Big Brother viewers slammed Kerry for throwing a tantrum while taking part in the latest shopping task during Monday’s episode of the show
Tantrum: While Big Brother has instructed the housemates to remain as happy as possible throughout the task, Kerry incensed viewers as she burst into tears and screamed
Noting that Kerry, who has multiple sclerosis and is using a mobility scooter in the house, was moaning about the temporary toilet being wheelchair accessible, one person wrote: ‘FFS! Kerry is moaning about the portaloo being wheelchair accessible. Why, just why is she moaning about that?’
Someone else posted: ‘The remaining housemates had to do another task standing in an fake rain storm and as usual Kerry was moaning.’
‘And 90% of that half hour is Kerry screaming and moaning,’ wrote someone else, while another person remarked: ‘What a moaning madam Kerry is.’
Another person sarcastically wrote: ‘So glad Kerry wasn’t evicted last week, imagine if we didn’t have to listen to her screaming and moaning.
And complaining that her fellow housemates has chosen her to sleep in a bed inside the house rather than in a sleeping bag outside, someone else wrote: ‘No it’s actually not normal how fuming I am over a TV show? Kerry does not deserve any of this after moaning and shouting her way through that task.’
During Sunday’s show, Kerry left viewers stunned as she told her fellow housemates she had always voted Conservative.
After Henry, who said before entering the house that he voted Conservative because he’d like to ‘go for a martini with Boris Johnson, insisted the former Prime Minister was ‘funny’, Kerry admitted she felt let down by the Tory party.
She said: ‘I don’t want someone funny running our country. Since I could vote, I’ve voted Conservative. Always, since I was 18, but Boris made me lose faith in that party and I thought to myself, “You’re a fool. You’re going to stop myself following a party that I’ve believed in, I’ve wanted”.

‘I’ve believed their manifesto and they haven’t delivered all of it.’
Referring to current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, she added: ‘Rishi’s probably the best of a bad bunch at the moment.’
Stunned viewers of the show took to Twitter to express their views after hearing Kerry’s political stance.
One person wrote: ‘Kerry truly baffles me. I don’t understand how you can work for the NHS for 20+ years and vote Tory? Like, they’re the reason your work place is in the s**t??’
Someone else wrote: ‘Not Kerry who works for the NHS announcing she’s a massive Tory and has been since she was able to vote. Is it too late to change to team Frida?’
While someone else shared: ‘Kerry on big brother works for the NHS and votes Tory. Lost for words really. Please vote her out next.’
‘The thing is, you expect Henry to vote for Tory but Kerry as a NHS worker?’, asked one viewer.
While someone else commented: ‘Not Kerry working for the NHS yet choosing to vote for the Tories. As somebody who also works for the NHS that is beyond tapped.’
Another fan of the show wrote: ‘I’m sorry but how can you be part of the NHS and vote tory?!?!? And what’s worrying is that there are thousands like Kerry It’s f**king stupid and terrifying.

While someone else remarked: ‘Catching up on Big Brother and Kerry is an NHS working Tory voter? Why the f**k did you all vote Farida out may I ask?’
One viewer wrote: ‘How can you work for the NHS and vote Tory Kerry?’
While someone else asked: ‘NHS for 20 years and Kerry’s voted Tory since she could vote??????’
It comes after Kerry came under fire for making ‘tone deaf’ remarks about her salary during Sunday’s episode.
The NHS manager shocked viewers during a conversation with model Zak, 28, food writer Henry, 25, and barman Jenkin, 25, as they discussed the average salaries of MPs compared to the UK population.
While sharing their thoughts on the politics, Kerry – who revealed that she had voted Conservative all her life – said that MPs ‘don’t get paid that much’, while Henry added they get roughly £60,000 to £70,000 a year.
In fact, the basic annual salary for an MP is £86,584, UK Parliament reports, with MPs also receiving expenses to cover the costs of running an office, employing staff, having somewhere to live in London or their constituency, and travelling between Parliament and their constituency.
Zak then chimed in that the ‘average person makes £20,000 a year’ (although the Office for National Statistics states the median annual pay for full-time employees in 2022 was £33,000) which prompted Jenkin to share his salary struggles.

Shocking: Jenkin, who now works as a barman, cleaner and a bingo caller in Wales, revealed, ‘I went between jobs and applied for benefits and I got £250 a month’
Jenkin, who now works as a barman, cleaner and a bingo caller in Wales, revealed: ‘I went between jobs and applied for benefits and I got £250 a month.’
Open mouthed, Kerry responded: ‘That’s really shocked me. I think I should stop moaning about being in the higher tax bracket because it p***es me off but then I hear that…’
Zak jumped in: ‘A lot of people would love to be in the higher tax bracket and have a little bit more money. Do you know how hard is to get to that higher bracket?’
Which prompted Kerry to respond: ‘I’m really proud of myself because it’s really hard in the NHS but I’ve started in Band Two 21 years ago I was on £7,800 a year…’
Kerry continued: ‘But I begrudge paying the higher tax bracket massively – I don’t think it’s fair.’
Those in the higher tax bracket pay 40 percent tax on incomes between £50,271 and £125,140.
As Head of Patient Experience in the NHS it’s expected that Kerry would be earning between £58,972 to £68,525 a year.
The housemates are all competing for the chance of winning the £100,000 prize of they are crowned series winner.
Kerry narrowly avoided being booted from the Big Brother house on Friday after facing the first public vote alongside make-up artist Farida – who was the first evictee.
Shocked viewers were quick to to call out Kerry for moaning about paying more tax moments after Jenkin shared his struggle and her fellow housemates had explained that the average UK-based worker would not earn as much as her.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, fans penned: ‘I am HORRIFIED that Kerry is saying that paying more tax as a higher earner is unfair! That’s the point of progressive taxation. And to say that in front of Jenkin, who just said he had lived on £250/month. So tone deaf. #BBUK.’
‘kerry when the next labour government takes more taxes and funds her workplace #bbuk’; ‘Not Kerry moaning about being in the higher tax bracket when Jenkins just said he was on £250 a month #BBUK’; ‘Kerry on her higher tax bracket pay day whilst Jenkin struggles to budget his £62.50 a week.

‘Kerry saying she’s voted Tory all her life, saying that politicians don’t earn that much, being shocked that the majority of people don’t earn more than 30k and moaning about being in the higher tax bracket. Shows how completely out of touch with the world some people are #bbuk.’
‘Nah sorry Kerry looked mighty smug saying she’s on a higher tax bracket in front of someone who said they’ve been on UC. #bbuk’; ‘Kerry complaining about tax literally seconds after Jenkin opened up about struggling on universal credit is absolutely abhorrent #BBUK.’
