Perez Hilton had his revenge after he was allowed to nominate one of his Celebrity Big Brother housemates for eviction.

The controversial star staged a fake walkout in front of his housemates but is actually secretly living in a neighbouring room and watching events in the house.

Celebrity blogger Perez, 36, has clashed with housemates on the Channel 5 show including outspoken columnist Katie Hopkins and model Camila “Cami Li” Figueras.

His apparent departure caused confusion for the remaining contestants who were asked to nominate who should face the axe, with Michelle Visage saying: “90% of us were going to vote for him, so now everybody has to re-evaluate”.

At the end of the nominations, Katie, Patsy Kensit and Nadia Sawalha all faced the public vote and Big Brother told Perez he could choose another celeb to face the axe from singer Kavana, Katie Price and Cami Li.

He chose the American model, telling Big Brother he did it because she “despises” him and is “boring”.

He said: “She only gets a little excitement and vigour after she has had a few drinks … Perez doesn’t need alcohol to be fun.”

On Friday, Alicia Douvall, the glamour model known for having undergone a string of cosmetic operations, was evicted.

It was only the second proper eviction of the show, with former Page Three girl Chloe Goodman the first to be booted out after a public vote.
