Celebrity Big Brother fans were raging after Colson Smith nominated Levi Roots in Thursday night’s teary episode.
The Coronation Street actor, 25, chose to nominate Levi for eviction after he branded him the most ‘boring’ housemate during Wednesday night’s episode.
Levi’s brutal aim at Colson was left him visibly hurt following Levi’s comments and made him ‘question his whole personality’.
But fans were left fuming at Colson for ‘dragging the situation on’ and ‘holding a grudge’.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, some wrote: ‘Colson nominating Levi because he said he’s the most boring in a TASK is bordering on absurd now’.

‘I’m sorry but Colson needs to get a grip. Levi’s comment was NOT that deep.’
‘Not Colson holding a grudge against Levi because he called him boring.’
‘Can Colson stop banging on about being called boring, take the hint.’
Levi is the current favourite to win the show more than a week before the grand finale.
The British-Jamaican businessman, made famous for his Reggae Reggae sauce, has been named as the new bookies’ favourite.
Levi only received one nomination from his co-stars during the most recent bout of nominations, making him a favourite in and outside of the house.
According to Ladbrokes bookmakers, Levi, 65, is now the frontrunner of the group, overtaking Corrie star Colson Smith who was previously coming out on top.
Levi’s odds have increased from 5/1 earlier this week to 10/3.

Colson is still sitting at 7/2 alongside Ibiza Weekender star David Potts who has the same odds.
A spokesperson at Ladbrokes said: ‘Another day, another favourite in the Celebrity Big Brother betting. This time it’s Levi who punters are rooting for, although Colson and David remain hot on his heels.’
At the start of the series, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu was on top as the favourite to win the series, however she has now fallen in the rankings.
Lauren Simon was the second housemate to be evicted from the ITV series, with Sharon Osbourne also ending her stint on the show.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star, 51, faced the boot after being put up for eviction alongside Louis Walsh and Fern Britton by their fellow housemates.
After it went to a public vote, Big Brother told Lauren her time on the show had come to an end.
She said as she exited: ‘I’m feeling overwhelmed I had the most amazing time.’
