Halfwit evicted from Big Brother

Freddie received just over half of the public votes

Freddie "Halfwit" Fisher has become the 10th housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house.

The 24-year-old aspiring politician, who legally changed his name to Halfwit to secure his place on the show, lost out to window fitter Marcus Akin.

It was the sixth time Fisher, of Market Drayton, Shropshire, had been up for eviction, having survived five previous public votes on the Channel 4 show.

Brazilian Roderigo Lopes, 23, is the current bookmakers' favourite to win.

Fox mask

Freddie, who left the house with his face painted a shade of purple that matched his shirt, received 53.6% of the public vote.

Asked about his face paint by host Davina McCall, Freddie explained it as a fox mask to mark him out as "Foxy Freddie".

Speaking about his "rollercoaster" relationship with fellow housemate Bea, Freddie said: "I never thought she was really really into me.

"When you're in the house you know that it's not real but you enjoy the emotion of it anyway."

Freddie would not tip a winner but said his favourite remaining housemates were Marcus, Siavash and Rodrigo.
