John Barnes has been evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house by the female housemates.
The girls were told by Big Brother to make the decision between former footballer John and Daniel O’Reilly, aka Dapper Laughs, after they won the Battle Of The Sexes task.
The eviction was one of the show’s infamous backdoor evictions, in which the celebrity does not get a welcome from the public and host Emma Willis is not on hand to discuss their time in the show.
‘I have to speak for the women,’ said Malika Haqq, ‘and this is not easy for us to do at all and with the heaviest heart we have to say goodbye to John.’

‘As much as they’re all likeable, it’s getting to them now – you’re starting to see [the cracks],’ she added.
‘You can either produce things to happen and make them crack or let them live in this really unreal environment and see what it does to people.’
