Callum Knell evicted from Big Brother

Callum Knell has become the latest Big Brother housemate to be evicted from the show following Friday night's public vote.

The primary school football coach lost out after finding himself up against Hazel O'Sullivan, Dexter Koh and twins Jack and Joe Glenny.

However his departure came as a shock, given that Hazel had been the favourite to leave - with the crowd chanting her name as Emma Willis announced the result.

Afterwards Callum admitted he was not surprised to have been given the boot despite the unexpected result.

He added that he was disappointed, saying: "When you're doing the best thing you've ever done you don't want it to stop."

Callum also shed light on his feelings for fellow housemate Charlie Travers, admitting the first couple of weeks in the house had been a 'whirlwind'.

"She's my type definitely," he confessed. "I stopped it after a while but she caught my eye regularly."

However he wasn't quite so enamoured of everyone in the house, referring to fellow contestant Dexter Koh as a "snake" and accusing him of being "false to the core".

Callum is the sixth housemate to be officially evicted from this year's Big Brother, after Sallie Axl, Jemima Slade, Wolfy Millington, Jackie Travers and Dan Neal were previously voted out.

Next week will see the friends and family of the remaining housemates choosing who faces the public vote.
