IPSWICH-born Big Brother contestant Darnell Swallow was the first housemate to be evicted from the show's grand final tonight.

The 26-year-old albino had been backed by his nephew, former Ipswich Town legend Jason Dozzell, to go all the way in the reality TV show.

But the songwriter, who now lives in London, was the first of five to leave the Big Brother house tonight.

He polled nearly 15% of the public's vote for the winner of the Channel 4 show and left the house wearing a white skirt.
