Outspoken racing pundit John McCririck is the second evictee to be booted from the Celebrity Big Brother house.

McCririck survived eviction last Friday after viewers voted for Sylvester Stallone's mother, Jackie.

Not so last night.

The 64-year-old was 1/3 favourite for a swift exit from Channel 4's voyeur show.

Clearly anticipating the outcome, he had his coat on and was at the door before Davina announced the result.

Whence outside, expressed relief, saying: "thank God I'm out".

Speaking with Davina, he blasted the other housemates as "desperate and pathetic" in their hunt for victory.

Outlining his judgement of the contestants, he slammed Bez as "simple", Brigitte Nielsen a meringue "so in love with herself" and Jeremy Edwards as a "nice chap but no depth".

Kenzie was labelled lazy, idle and "plays on the little boy thing though".

In another pointed attack, Caprice was labelled "cash register limited", obsessed with her "grubby little company and bras".

Former Happy Mondays dancer Bez survived the stand-off.

McCririck was nominated for the chop by four of his housemates.

The bookies have made Kenzie odds-on favourite to win at 4/5 while Bez's chances have slumped to 8/1 from 10/1.

He is 8/11 favourite to be the next evictee.
