Batty has significant support

His secret? Complete loyalty to the Elland Road house which was only tested by Peter Ridsdale's comments about him at the club's annual meeting.

His refusal to be drawn into house arguments - in contrast to the slick charms of Terry and Peter - won him legions of admirers.

Bats made a visit to the diary room on Tuesday and let rip with his feelings about the problems within the camp.

"You hear all sorts of rumours that I've had a bust-up with so-and-so or I'm ruining things, but none of it is true," he said.

One of the main criticisms aimed at evicted Terry was that he did not do enough to get Bats involved in house games.

David O'Leary: EVICTED
Who would have believed it at the start of the week? As each day passed, the twinkle-eyed Irishman's chances of a shock Big Bother win increased.

A huge outsider just days ago, he sailed through the first three days of evictions by keeping his mouth shut while all around stitched themselves up.

David's nomination for eviction hurt him deeply

David made a huge impact in his early days in the house but, behind the scenes, things were not as rosy as they first appeared.

His old pal Peter nominated him for eviction after David's failure in several tasks - notably the "Premiership table" game - left the house budget in tatters.

David then blew huge amounts of the budget on items that Peter decided the house did not need - and the pair were still arguing about it when Peter got the boot.

But David has had the last laugh.

Lee Bowyer: EVICTED
Lee needed to win the public over with a good display in Thursday night's "Uefa Cup" task to stay in the Big Bother house.

He acquitted himself well - but his surly attitude and a number of problems away from the house left him in an impossible position, and he was duly given the boot.

Bowyer was stunned by the results of the voting

A little while ago it appeared he was determined to leave the house of his own volition, but two of the other contestants, Terry and Peter, persuaded him to stay.

Lee liked making his presence felt in the group. But after drinking the entire house supply of alcopops he was unpopular with the other housemates.

He will not be missed in the Big Bother house.

Terry Venables: EVICTED
Terry escaped eviction by the skin of his teeth on Tuesday - but the end had merely been postponed.

On Wednesday he was overwhelmingly voted out of the house, stunning the usually chirpy gaffer.

Terry wasn't smiling after eviction on Wednesday

"I've been told it's because I come from the south, that I'm George Graham's friend - which I don't understand," he sobbed as Leeds prepared to face Malaga.

"But I've no regrets. You can't go through life having regrets about what things you've done. I've always gone for what I believe is right and I've never regretted it.

"You can always say I could have done better or I should have done better, but you don't regret things you do otherwise you'd never do anything

Terry was an early favourite to win Celebrity Big Bother - but from the start he had a tougher time than anyone expected.

Charming and a natural on-screen, he nonetheless struggled to come to terms with some of the challenges that the housemates have been set.

The mess he has made of the regular "Win a Home Game" contests ultimately cost him his place in the house.

Peter Ridsdale: EVICTED
Powerful Peter was the first contestant to be voted out of the house, confirming that the public at large have gone right off him.

He was a popular individual a year ago, but since then it has been downhill all the way for this chatty character.

Ridsdale: eviction hit him hard

Whenever there was a topic up for discussion in the house, Peter had something to say - and that rankled with some of the other housemates.

Peter was responsible for nominating David O'Leary for eviction - something David did not forget - and Terry feared Peter could do the same to him.

Interestingly, the infra-red cameras in the bedroom reportedly showed Peter mumbling in his sleep about a job at the Football Association.
