Mario booted out of Big Brother

Mario Marconi tonight became the fourth housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house.

On the 37th day in the house, the 43-year-old gym fanatic lost out to 21-year-old nursery nurse Rebecca Shiner after he got 77% of the public vote .

Earlier today, while Mario and his girlfriend Lisa Appleton were discussing the prospect of his eviction, Mario – real name Sean Astbury – said to her: “I’ll still be here, mate.”

Mario, looking surprised when he heard his name announced, said to the rest of the housemates: “It’s a bit of a shock isn’t it?”

Lisa said to him: “We’d better get used to it haven’t we? It’s a long time before we come out.”
