CELEBRITY Big Brother star Daley Thompson branded his housemates “rats” moments after leaving the house.
The Olympic athlete was evicted on Friday night after being nominated by his housemates, facing the vote alongside EastEnders’ Patsy Palmer.
However, speaking to AJ Odudu and Will Best after his elimination, he praised his “funny, revealing, great” housemates and said he would have liked to stay longer.
But he quickly changed his tune when he was shown who voted for him and why.
In a quick roundup, Daley discovered he had been nominated four times – once by fellow nominee Patsy, as well as Angellica Bell, Chris Hughes and Donna Preston.
While viewers couldn’t hear what he said, he got visibly annoyed and spoke to the audience as Patsy and Chris argued that he didn’t chip in enough around the house.
He then calmed himself and told AJ and Will: “None of them surprised me because they’re all rats.”
Daley then swore on his son’s life that he did do the washing up and his share of the household chores, pointing at his kid from the audience as he did so.
As well as that, Daley would later take another shot at his housemates, saying: “In there, all you can do, I think is, all I could do is just try and be the person that I am.
“Whereas all the people in there – they’re all performative artists, there are some people who are professional reality stars, if you do that all the time, you know how to play the game.”
Despite admitting being a competitive person naturally, he also said that he didn’t go in with a gameplan himself.
“No, it’s absolutely out of my control. I’d have been happy to come out first or last, on that boy’s head,” he added, pointing to his son.
Daley was the third to be evicted from the house, and fourth star to leave the series so far.
While Mickey Rourke was removed from the house, he followed Michael Fabricant, who went first, and Trisha Goddard who left on Tuesday night.
Daley immediately ran into trouble, later trading jabs on spin-off show Late and Live with guest Tiffany Pollard, saying she ‘had no friends’ for talking as outlandishly as she does.
She later branded him “rotten”.
Celebrity Big Brother airs weeknights at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
