Wild-haired Seventies disco king Leo Sayer has dramatically left the Big Brother house - after a disagreement about underwear.
The Endless Flight singer forced his way through one of the walls with a broom after his request for more pants was turned down by Big Brother. The 58-year-old, who was the bookie's favourite for eviction on Friday night, went into the Diary Room to ask for some extra undies. "I don't wash my own clothes," he said. "Not in this house, not in front of the others. That's demeaning. It's not good enough."
Following a heated exchange, Leo stormed out of the Diary Room and told the others he was leaving.
"Don't be daft," said Geordie journalist Carole Malone, while cigar-puffing A-Team actor Dirk Benedict offered his assistance. "You can have some of mine," he helpfully suggested. But Leo didn't want to know, and became the third contestant to make an unorthodox exit from the show after Ken Russell walked out and Donny Tourette climbed over a fence.
The producers of the show have confirmed Leo's departure, and closed his voting lines. Viewers can continue to vote to evict either Carole or Dirk.
Leo's abrupt escape left the other housemates bemused. "Everyone's going mad in here," remarked former S Club Seven singer Jo O'Meara.
