Stuart Wilson was last night evicted from the Big Brother house.

The long-haired student was in the middle of a party with loud music pumped into the house to disguise crowd noise outside when he was called to the diary room.

He wandered in, a helium balloon tied to each wrist, thanking Big Brother for the party.

Big Brother then informed the inebriated Macclesfield resident that he was out.

"You cannot say goodbye to your fellow housemates. If they hear you they will be punished," Big Brother announced.

Typically the "Bill and Ted" extra put a positive spin on things. "I've enjoyed every minute," he announced. "Do you think I could go to the toilet?", he added as reality hit him.

The crowd greeted Stu with the loudest cheering of the series so far. As the excited spectators chanted his name those remaining inside the house thought that he must have won.

But as reality dawned they slipped into a state of shock.

"What's going on, man? What are the public watchin'?" asked a perplexed Jay.

Bookmakers will also be surprised.

Even yesterday morning Shell was odds on favourite for the boot, with Stuart a mile behind a 3/1 against.
