From blushing bride to tearful evictee: Stephanie is voted first out of the Big Brother house

The 19-year-old blonde's prediction she would be the first to go was realised as BB host Davina McCall announced her name during the live Friday night show.

After hearing her name, a tearful Stephanie said: 'Told ya.'

As she started to her hug her fellow housemates, Stephanie said: 'Can I go now, I just wanna go.'

As she prepared to leave the house by hugging all her housemates, Jennifer and Kathreya openly sobbed.

The first person to be evicted from Big Brother is... Stephanie

During her post-eviction chat with Davina, Stephanie admitted she was gutted to leave and had a crush on 24-year-old chef Rex, despite him having a girlfriend in the outside world.

When asked by Davina how she felt leaving, Stephanie said: 'I’m gutted, I’m absolutely guttered.

'You don’t expect to be first out. A week is not enough to show what you’re all about.'

Stephanie was up for eviction alongside Lisa Appleton, Mario Marconi and Luke Marsden after they failed their secret wedding task.

The blonde beauty was the second favourite to go with odds of 13/8 only behind Mario at 4/9.

For the task, real-life couple Lisa, 40; and Mario, 42; had to disguise their relationship from their housemates, with the latter attempting to convince the BB inmates that he was dating Stephanie.

Alongside Lisa, student Luke had to try and convince the rest of the house that Stephanie and Mario were a real couple.

Last Sunday, Stephanie 'wed' Mario in front of the housemates, but their faux relationship was soon exposed by Big Brother after just 90 minutes of wedded bliss.

Discussing the task with Davina, Stephanie said: 'That was the most horrendous task because I didn’t get on with Mario.

'It was awkward. He was 43. I couldn’t sleep in the same bed with him.

'When everyone said why didn’t you kiss him, I felt completely cornered. He was trying to make me look ‘that’ big.'

When asked about her feelings for Rex, Stephanie said: 'I did (fancy him), but he was more my friend... I hope I stay in touch with everyone.'

Davina praised Stephanie for standing up for Rebecca during the argument with Big Brother baddie Alexandra.

Stephanie said: 'I didn't feel nervous (around Alex). I had a big argument with her the other night.

'She’s a bully. When she wasn’t arguing she just sat there with a face on her. She’s having a negative effect on the house.'

Stephanie believed Sylvia was being led astray by Alexandra because they had made friends in the early days of the show.

She explained: 'I think she's intimidated by Alex. She's a nice girl. She doesn't mean any harm.'

When asked to predict who would be up for eviction next Friday, Stephanie answered Alexandra or Mario.

She also predicted a romance between Jennifer and Dale, dubbing the latter 'good looking'.

Stephanie admitted she wanted Thai masseuse Kathreya - who was her maid of honour at her 'wedding' - to win the show.

'I love her, I want her to win. She’s brilliant.'

Summing up her time in the house, Stephanie said: 'It was an amazing experience, I wouldn’t change it for the world. I was gutted it was only a week.

'Maybe I should have tried harder with the wedding task. It was weird. It freaked me out.'
