Luke S has left the Big Brother House, claiming fifth place and losing out on the 50k cash prize - Again.

His last couple of weeks in the House have been unforgettable. From scraping survival the last time he faced eviction,  to spending four days in The White Room, from hearing a hail of boos following his name to standing on a box for countless hours, from maddening punishments to being separated from his lady, the Stoke boy has had to channel super-human reserves of endurance. And we shan't talk about the money - we fear it may be too raw (Also Deana managed to cover this topic quite well).

As well as wooing the Essex girl in the early weeks, Mr Lover Man has shown himself to be a balls-y team-player. He gave everything in tasks, worked out daily and always mucked in on the domestic and grooming fronts.

Applying this much energy took a lot of calories, and one particular food group was critical to maintaining Luke S's routine. Never has protein meant as much to one individual, and never has protein been used by cheeky Big Brother and even cheekier housemates as such a tool for comedy.

The sight of Luke S straining to keep his eyes trained on protein powder while a burlesque dancer sensually danced was roundly amusing. How cruel therefore that this hard-won protein got contaminated with chilli powder by a playful Benedict. The usually collected Luke S began to bark.

The other time we saw Luke S's animal side (outside of his nightly shenanigans with Ashleigh) was when Arron's rogue behaviour caused the Green Team to be confined to the bedroom during Task Wars. Pent up in this small stretch of ground, Luke S paced and growled like a caged and angry beast. Thankfully there were suitcases around to weight lift. Always showing ingenuity, that Luke S.

The kitchen was the only arena in which Luke S lost his king of the hill status. The other Luke, Luke A, whipped his muscled ass in the Potat-Off - but then he is a professional chef.

Trying has characterised this housemate. Luke S has epitomised Shievonne's words to Chris, "keep it cute and keep it mute", favouring committed action over casual conversation. From bench-pressing Lauren to spending hours grooming Conor to waking up early every day to wipe down the kitchen, all the while rocking the shirtless 'check out my six-pack' look, Luke S has made his mark with sheer ferocious activity.

Of course, the large question dangling over Luke S is what will become of Lushleigh? Despite a few domestics, they've been a consistent feature of 70 House days. Yet - duh duh dah - during the Talent Agent task, Luke S revealed that he's still interested the bachelor life. Hmmm. With accusations of show-mancing facing the couple, we're going to have to keep a beady little eye on Luke S's moves after the House.

But until then, we bid a fond farewell to the muscles from Stoke-on Trent. We'll always remember him as a slick team player who knew how to treat a lady.
