Big Brother contestant Eugene is convinced he will be waving goodbye to his fellow housemates.

The 27-year-old from Pound Hill, Crawley, conceded he had little chance of defeating former Tory speech writer Derek when the pair go head to head in tomorrow's eviction.

The contestant saved by the public will rejoin Anthony, Craig, Makosi and new housemate Kinga for the final week of the Channel 4 show.

Eugene, an electrical engineer, told the diary room he wasn't surpris-ed to be nominated and understood he was probably a "slightly dull character".

He said: "I've probably got a few annoying niggles as well, like my rubbish jokes, going off and doing my own thing, going to bed early and not being one of the lads."

He said he wanted Derek, favourite to be booted out, to win.

Eugene, known to his family as Genie, arrived at the house in a pair of fig leaf pants halfway through the series. He has since been seen bursting into tears after failing a task.

The former Sussex University student, who used to throw televisions from the top floor flats of the Lewes Court campus to record the sound they made, is the son of Janet Sully, West Sussex county councillor for Bewbush, Gossops Green and Southgate.
