Rebecca booted off Big Brother

Nursery nurse Rebecca has become the sixth person to be evicted from the Big Brother house.

The 21-year-old from Coventry was voted out by the public ahead of Mohamed and Darnell.

As host Davina McCall announced the result to the housemates, Rebecca was embraced by a dismayed Luke, with whom she had enjoyed a brief if rocky romance in recent days.

Earlier, viewers had seen the couple cavorting in the pool before Rebecca upset the 21-year-old from Wigan by kissing Mohamed during a drinking game.

Luke later told her: "It bothered me. I know it shouldn't have. I'm just disappointed."

The result was a relief for Darnell, a 26-year-old London-based songwriter, who had earlier clashed with fellow nominee Mohamed, claiming he persistently badgered him for cigarettes.

Darnell had received the most nominations - six - while the others received five each.

Mohamed, meanwhile, was pleasantly surprised by the result.
