Rik Waller's the latest housemate to evicted from the Back to Reality house
Former Pop Idol contestant Rik Waller last night became the sixth person to be evicted from the Back To Reality television show.
The would-be singer was voted out of the film studio mansion by his housemates after he and Josie D'Arby proved the least popular with the public.
Sensitive Rik has had a testing time during his stay on the Channel Five show.
Within a matter of hours of his arrival he was interrogated by fellow contestant Jade Goody as to why he was overweight and lazy.
Squabbling about Rik also reached fever pitch during the last 48 hours with some contestants claiming that he had been playing up to the cameras during eviction time in order to win the sympathy vote.
Yesterday Jade, who shot to fame as the foot-in-mouth blonde from Big Brother, returned to the house after she was rushed to hospital with a burst cyst on her ovary.
The 23-year-old told fellow contestants: "It burst. I don't know what happened. It might come out in my wee."
The five remaining guests have been in the house since February 14 and the winner will leave on March 5.
They are Josie D'Arby, Jade Goody, James Hewitt, Craig Phillips and Maureen Rees.
The final contestants are battling it out to be crowned Britain's top reality TV star, along with a potential prize fund of £75,000 to donate to their favourite charity.
