When a fight broke out between Zak and Trish, Big Brother fans were split on who to defend.
After failing their shopping challenge, the roommates gathered in the kitchen to analyse how much food was consumed.
But when Olivia brought out the apparent double standards between what Zak ate and his reaction to how much the other candidates were eating, he simply stated that it was because he was a “boy.”
While Dylan smiled and fist-bumped Zak’s remark, Trish was furious.
‘My man ain’t going to stand there and take s**t off two women,’ Zak went on to joke, leaving Trish even more unimpressed.
‘Behave yourself,’ Olivia warned.
Trish added: ‘That was very inappropriate. That was so sexist, that was sexism thriving in you.’
‘Yeah, waiting to come out,’ Olivia added.
‘Was it that bad?’ Zak questioned, with the women agreeing it was ‘terrible’.
When Zak dragged his mother into the conversation, he seemed to dig himself an even deeper hole.
‘Only people we raise should listen to us,’ Trish tried to hit back, before Zak assured he was only ‘having a laugh’ and wasn’t trying to be sexist.
‘Gaslight us,’ Trish laughed back, while Olivia ordered Zak to ‘sit down’.
‘You sound like a fart in my ear, shut up,’ he hit back.
Some fans weren’t too happy with the way the conversation went, with one saying: ‘Oh Zak’s comment was a little… yeah that was a smidge sexist.’
Another wrote: ‘I liked Zak yesterday and now he’s grating on me.’
‘Have to say I’m bewildered and confused by Zak’s behaviour tonight tbh,’ a third penned.

Several others jumped to defend Zak, with one saying: ‘Everyone taking Zak serious.. obviously him Dylan Trish & Olivia are winding each other up… id be exactly the same with the boredom! Petty wind ups.’
‘Before you all cancel Zak realise it’s clearly banter fs Olivia and Trish are winding him up,’ another said.
Someone else wrote: ‘That’s a massive overreaction by Trish and Olivia with Zak’s comment.’
‘I really feel people in the house are taking Zak’s jokes too deep. You can’t say anything anymore without it being serious,’ a third penned.
It was clear Trish didn’t seem to take his comments too seriously either, as a few hours later, things between the pair seemed to calm down, as she asked him: ‘Do you think I’m peaceful?’
‘You can be, but you’re not,’ he replied.
Big Brother continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2.
