He's cooked, counselled and calmed his fellow housemates, but now Gos has left the building.

His quiet presence in the House will be sorely missed by all - his female housemates adored him for his gentility, and the lads took to his humour, his geezer speak and his amiability.

Gos' popularity in the House was indisputable. He didn't receive a single nomination until week five. The chef, who finds Big Brother's nomination process particularly painful, was surprisingly jovial when he heard he would face the public vote this week. "Five weeks without being nominated is a good stint," he said.

"I've enjoyed it. I've had my bad times, don't get me wrong, but this is the edge," he also admitted.

Gos' best friend in the House was the other big man, Cameron, whom he missed terribly during the Scot's South African adventure.

But he didn't let his sorrow stop him from being a complete gentlemen, the affable chef welcomed newcomer Gae into the fold, chatting to him about reggae and life.
