She's gone and, unlike last week's evictee, she managed to leave all the living room furniture where it belonged.

Following the past few weeks' evictions, housemates' reactions have been fairly tame and largely short-lived but Lydia's absence is going to be felt.

When the call from Brian came, housemates listened to the crowd's reactions outside. Becky said: "She's strong, she's full of success. She can do it."

Lauren appeared to be fighting back tears but Shievonne showed herself to be firmly in camp Deana saying, "Big up to all my homies, they would have voted for Deana. My people were on that phone. They know we would be friends on the outside."

Deana had domestic matters on her mind, "Oh my god," she said, "I actually have to wash my clothes. I thought I would be out tonight. I am going to use this opportunity to learn how to cook."

Both Conor and Arron were looking forward to tonight's party and were more concerned by the locked store cupboard. Arron revealed he was going to give Deana a second chance saying: "Me and this girl are going to start afresh."

Lydia may have thought she took one thing with her from the House - the secret identity of her famous fiancé - but that wasn't the case.

Conor revealed his name minutes after her departure - and Luke S explained who he was.
