Pinder first evictee on Celeb BB

Lucy Pinder was evicted at the first public vote

Model Lucy Pinder is the first evictee on reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother after losing a public vote in a head-to-head with Ulrika Jonsson.

The pair were in the running for eviction after their fellow housemates chose to save former boyband star Ben Adams from the vote.

All three were nominated by the head of the house, Terry Christian.

He accused Jonsson of having a big ego and said Pinder was the least talented of the celebrities.

Former weathergirl Jonsson shored up her place in the house when her duet with actor Verne Troyer proved a surprise hit on the show's website.

Bookmakers slashed the odds on glamour model Pinder being voted out after she failed her part of the house shopping task.

As part of the task, Big Brother set Jonsson and Troyer the challenge of performing Lionel Ritchie and Diana Ross's classic Endless Love for the housemates, and getting 10,000 web views of the video.

The pair's rendition proved a huge hit - with 81,483 views by the end of the challenge.

After the eviction announcement by host Davina McCall, Pinder and Jonsson embraced and Jonsson burst into tears.

Pinder promised: "I'll see you all again," but added: "I'm so glad I'm going home."

She received 57% of the total votes cast by the public.

Meanwhile the remaining celebrities failed a paparazzi-style shopping task when they did not spot the former Celebrity Big Brother finalist Michael Barrymore waving at them.

Coolio, Pinder and Shameless actress Tina Malone were told to stake out the garden to photograph non-housemate celebrities.

Pinder's friend and fellow glamour model Michelle Marsh was lifted above the wall in a cherry-picker as the stars snapped away.

But only Malone and rapper Coolio were in the "press pen" when Barrymore was lifted over the wall.

They did not notice him waving and failed their part of the shopping task.

Pinder declared her wish to leave the Big Brother house after being driven to distraction by Coolio's incessant rapping.

Jonsson found her sobbing in the toilet having left the press pen in tears. Pinder told her: "I'm just really tired. I really want to go home tomorrow."
