Ben has been evicted from the Big Brother house.

The writer and broadcaster from London became the sixth contestant to get the chop after losing out to fellow nominees Dave, Andrew and John James.

Ben, 30, was nominated by four of the other inmates who accused him of being moody and 'ungenerous'.

The bookies' favourite to go, he did not seem shocked as the result was announced, saying "It's fine guys".

The hair-obsessed Tory supporter left to widespread boos and loud chants of "get Ben out" from the crowd. Wearing a suit and tie, he seemed embarrassed by the reaction.

Before Ben left the show, Davina presented from inside the house and pop duo Jedward performed to housemates as part of this week's 'ignore' task.
