New contestant joins Big Brother

Stuart is the latest contestant to enter the Big Brother house

A property developer is the latest contestant to enter the Big Brother house, after Alexandra De-Gale was kicked out the show.

Stuart Pilkington, from Cheshire, is a gym-obsessed 25-year-old who rates himself as nine out of ten for looks.

He also gives himself eight for humour and intelligence, rating his passions in life as his daughter, music, women and Manchester United - in that order.

Alexandra was thrown off the show for intimidating other housemates.

Channel 4 said that, following nominations, the accounts executive had threatened housemates with punishment from her "gangster friends".

As a result of her departure, Friday's planned eviction was cancelled. She had been up for the second public vote of the ninth series with Mario Marconi.

Hundreds of Big Brother fans recently complained to media watchdog Ofcom about alleged bullying by Alexandra.

Ofcom received 433 complaints about Alexandra's behaviour after an argument with three fellow contestants.

Big Brother reprimanded her over the incident in which she launched a volley of abuse at a housemate over burnt chips.

Channel 4 said Alexandra's eviction was watched by 4.72m viewers, the highest ratings since the series' opening night two weeks ago.
