Big Brother contestant Joe Quaranta has become the fifth housemate to be evicted.

The nightclub owner left the show after being nominated to face the public vote alongside Charlotte Keys and Tom Barber earlier in the week.

Quaranta received the least viewer votes and left the house in Friday’s episode.

As he walked out to meet presenter Emma Willis he made rude hand gestures and blew kisses at the booing crowd.

His exit which was preceded by shouts of “Get Joe out!" from the audience around the studio is unlikely to come as a surprise to viewers.

The 57-year-old has proved to be a fairly unpopular character after having rows with several of the other contestants during his time on the show.

Speaking of his exit to Willis he expressed disappointment at having left the house, saying: “I didn’t want to go.”

However, he confessed to being very pleased to see his girlfriend.

"I knew she was gonna be here, so it’s bittersweet. I’ve been gagging to see her,” he told the presenter.

The 26-year age difference between the pair was a subject of controversy in the house and caused second-chance housemate Sue to comment that she felt Quaranta looked closer to 70 than 60.

When asked about his experience on the show, Quaranta cited his age as a factor in his unhappiness in the house and advised others not to take part saying: "Don’t go in there even for £3 million.”

Meanwhile the evictee gave the audience members short shrift, commenting: "To the silly w*****s out there, you weren’t in there, I was. And you have no idea what it’s like.”

Big Brother continues Saturday July 8 at 9pm.
