Beauty Queen Jade is the first to be booted out the Big Brother house

A former beauty queen from Essex became the first evictee from the "gifted" Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack house.

Jade Eden, a 21-year-old former Miss England, wept as she found she had been chosen by E4 viewers to leave the house.

Jade, who has been a member of Mensa since the age of four, was put up for eviction after receiving five nominations from her fellow housemates.

She was up against circus performer Victor Arata and racing driver Jeremy Metcalfe for the public vote.

Jeremy, 19, also received five votes from the other talented young people in the house, while Victor proved the least popular with eight votes.

She said: "I had so much fun, I really didn't want to go.

"It was like the most amazing period. I had a great time."

Asked about about her feelings towards fellow housemate, boxer Anthony Ogogo, 19, who admitted last night to being attracted to her, Jade said: "Me and Anthony had the most fun, he's the coolest person in there.

"I thought he was really good looking, but I fancy someone who is not in the house."

Jade, who won a scholarship to a school for gifted individuals, recently graduated from the Urdang Academy in London's Covent Garden, and is an international competitor in artistic gymnastics.

She attracted criticism in the house for her upbeat attitude and habit of singing early in the morning, with 19-year-old fashion designer Jay Wilson saying: "She's just too much."

Earlier in the week the 12 contestants explained the reasons for their nominations to guest hijacker Kelly Osbourne.

Emilia Arata, sister of Victor, nominated Jade, saying that her experience as a as a beauty pageant contestant did not equal the talents of the other housemates.

Anthony, singer-songwriter Calista Robertson youth politician John Laughton, and Jade were among those who voted for Victor.

Jade, from London, said she chose to nominate him because she did not like the way Victor talked about women.

The latest hijacker, Janet Street-Porter, spent time asking the housemates to commentate on each other, and host a fake chat-show in which she was the main guest.

Other guest Big Brothers in the series have included actor Alan Cumming, former footballer Ian Wright, and television presenter Russell Brand.
