Shaun Williamson has been evicted from the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house.

The former 'EastEnders' actor left the famous abode in a backdoor eviction, and though 'Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side' presenter Rylan Clark had earlier teased there'd been a shock departure, his identity was kept secret until Thursday (24.08.17) evening.

Despite not making it through to Friday's (25.08.17) final, Shaun was thankful for his time in the house.

He said as he left: "I've had a wonderful time. As soon as Jordan, then Paul and then Sandi were evicted I knew you could never second guess the public.

"I was myself, and if that's not what they want then it's all good. I'll miss you all."

Shaun's eviction came as a big shock to viewers because ghost-hunting presenter Lee Roberts of 'Haunted Live' set tongues wagging when he commented on the idea that Derek Acorah had been evicted.

He said: "Interesting that the BBBOTS panel all thought derek_acorah would be leaving via the backdoor...I love it when people are wrong CBB (sic)."

He later claimed he had "no idea" who had left the house and just likes to cause confusion.

He added: "FTR, I have no idea who has left the @bbuk house I never said @derek_acorah was still in, just i'd like to see people proved wrong #CBB

"As much as I hate backdoor evictions, it certainly gets people talking about @bbuk. I can't wait for tonight's show. #CBB (sic)."

But Derek's wife also caused a stir when she said she didn't know who had been kicked out.

She wrote on Twitter: "Does anybody know what's going on with CBB because I sure as hell don't! Who's in and who's out? (sic)."
