The Neighbourhood's Scouse Haus talk shock exit and the Lozman-Sturrocks: "They played a better game"

*Warning - contains spoilers for The Neighbourhood episode 3.*

The Neighbourhood burst onto TV screens last week and has gripped viewers with its juicy twists and turns, especially in its latest episode which saw one household removed from KeepYourEnemies Close.

The series, which is fronted by Graham Norton, features a group of households battle it out for a £250,000 cash prize. All they have to do is remain the most popular amongst the other households, which is easier said than done...

In the latest episode, it was time for another removal in which each household has to decide amongst themselves who they want to remove, before one representative is sent out in the square to declare who they have chosen.

Unfortunately for the Scouse Haus, they received the most votes and were sent home packing, and it's largely down to one member of the Lozman-Sturrocks for their demise.

Earlier in the episode, Jordan was intent on making sure some of the other households had his back, which meant stirring the pot slightly about the Scouse Haus.

After tying in votes with the Lozman-Sturrocks, it was the Campbell Grahams who had the deciding vote and upon choosing to remove the Scouse Haus, their time was over.

In an exclusive interview with Radio Times, the Scouse Hause were asked how they felt about the Lozman-Sturrocks, to which Rosie said: "It is a game at the end of the day and whatever tactic you've got, if it's gonna get you to where you wanna go, then all we can do is respect it. Do what you need to do.

Lyndsey added: "And do you know what? They played the better game than us."

But while all is smoothed over now, they certainly weren't expecting the level of game playing that went on behind their backs.

"I think we were all blindsided by it because we were just living our life," Lyndsey told Radio Times. Louise added: "We were baking cookies just being so blissfully ignorant, little did we know what was going on in The Neighbourhood. He was knocking round everyone's house."

But drama aside, the girls are looking forward to seeing how the rest of the game pans out, with them firmly rooting for the Bradons and the Pescuds - who they're still friends with almost a year on from filming!

As for the remaining households, tensions rise in tonight’s episode as the neighbours face their biggest decision yet during alliance week. Norton asks them to pair up with another household, and true colours show when friendships are cast aside…

The Neighbourhood continues on Thursday 30 April at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
