Daley Thompson with AJ Odudu and Will Best

Former Olympian Daley Thompson was the third housemate to be evicted from this year’s Celebrity Big Brother series.

Last Friday (April 11), former conservative MP Michael Fabricant became the first star booted off. Meanwhile, iconic chat show host Trisha Goddard was evicted on Tuesday (April 15).

However, during tonight’s (April 18) live show, EastEnders legend Patsy Palmer and Daley faced the public vote after receiving the most nominations. With fans choosing to save their favourite, Daley received the least amount of votes and walked out the door.
