Coolio comes third in big Brother

Troyer (r) had been the favourite to win the show

US rap star Coolio has become the latest contestant to be voted out of the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Actor Verne Troyer and former boy band star Ben Adams were also evicted during Friday's live show.

Troyer, best known for starring in the Austin Powers films, had been favourite to win the series. As he left the house the crowd began chanting his name.

Fans are still voting to decide on who wins between TV presenters Terry Christian and Ulrika Jonsson.

Troyer, 40, came fourth in the competition, with 27-year-old Adams coming fifth.

Eleven housemates entered the show's compound three weeks ago and the public have whittled them down to the final five by voting out the others.

They have all returned for the live show to celebrate the end of the series.

Singer LaToya Jackson and politician Tommy Sheridan were both booted out of the house on Wednesday in a surprise double eviction.

Glamour model Lucy Pinder was the first housemate to be sent home and former Sugababe star Mutya Buena walked out in the second week.

The winner of the series will be announced in the second episode of the night at 2200 GMT.
