India Willoughby has become the first contestant to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The Channel 5 newsreader said she felt she had a ‘feeling’ she would be the first to leave.

“I had so much more to offer. But that’s the way the cookie crumbles. I had a feeling and you always trust your gut,” she commented.

“It’s like a hurdles race and there are obstacles you have to jump over”.

During her time in the house Willoughby came to blows with contestants Amanda Barrie and Ann Widdecombe after they misgendered her.

She was also branded a hypocrite by viewers after she admitted she had a fear of drag queens to Ru Paul’s Drag Race star Courtney Act, real name Shane Jenek.

When asked by host Emma Willis if she thought she could have handled the confusion around her gender differently, Willoughby said: "I should have just kept my gob shut and waited for the questions to come and answer them one by one"

During Friday’s show, Willoughby admitted she’d ‘c***** it up’ while chatting to Big Brother in the diary room.

Celebrity Big Brother continues Saturday, December 13 at 10.30pm on Channel 5.
