Billi is third Big Brother evictee

The 25-year-old model was odds-on favourite with the bookies to follow Shabnam and Seany out the door.

Billi, from Middlesex, had rubbed a few housemates up the wrong way since he entered the reality programme two weeks ago.

When the show's host Davina McCall announced the result of the public vote the 25-year-old shrugged his shoulders before being hugged by the other contestants.

Long-haired Billi Bhatti has modelled for three years, including at London Fashion Week and recently appeared in the video for Jamelia's single Beware of the Dog.

He said before entering the house that he suspected he would be nominated for being two-faced, arrogant and vain.

Ziggy in particular did not warm to the model - who received 55.1% of the total votes cast - and ended up dumping his in-house girlfriend, Posh Spice wannabe Chanelle, after she and Billi appeared to be openly flirting.

The pair eventually reconciled, but Ziggy still nominated Billi for the chop, saying: "He's played some games, he's trying to play people off each other."

The model probably gained some points on Wednesday night, however, when he faced up to two-faced Charley. The pair started bickering and Billi told her she was going to be the "most hated contestant ever" when she leaves the house.

She countered with a jibe about his teeth, to which he replied: "You look like a horse, mate" and sarcastically added: "Yeah, you're a big star Charley, you're a big star. You should have been on Celebrity Big Brother."
