Bespectacled Wimborne ‘maths genius’ Andrew Edmonds finished fifth in the final Channel 4 Big Brother series last night and walked out to deafening screams from the audience.

After his exit, he told host Davina McCall about his fondness for eventual winner Josie who “made me so comfortable with myself”.

McCall asked Andrew whether his ‘geek’ persona had been an act, as some housemates had speculated, to which he replied: “I am one hundred percent a geek, I hate to admit it. Why would I lie about that?”
