Housemate Eugene Sully today entered his final day in the Big Brother house.

The 27-year-old from Pound Hill, Crawley, will go head to head with the three other remaining housemates - Kinga, Makosi and Anthony - in a live final tonight on Channel 4.

The self-confessed nerd survived a surprise eviction on Wednesday night when hairdresser Craig Coates, 20, from Norfolk, was booted out after winning the least number of public votes.

In another shock twist, Big Brother called one of the remaining housemates into the diary room for an unenviable choice: Take half the £100,000 prize money or double it for the eventual winner.

Unlucky Eugene - told of the halving option but unaware of the potential £200,000 prize pot - admitted he had made a "schoolboy error" in sitting in the hot seat.

He chose to become £50,000 richer after a tense minute in which he decided to take half the jackpot, admitting: "It is probably a bad one (decision) but by doing this I suppose at least there is two winners, one with £50,000 and the other with £50,000."
