Billi: I was axed to save Charley - -July 19 2007 Big Brother evictee Billi has apparently claimed that he was booted out - to save Charley. The model also said that Fake Week was a stunt - with the sole intention of prolonging the wannabe's stay in the Channel 4 house, according to the Sun. The 25-year-old was due to face the public vote against Charley - but she escaped after Billi was punished for letting the other's know he had put her up. He said: "It has become more and more obvious that I was sacrificed to keep Charley in." Billi added that whilst all the others had been talking about nominations, he was the only one who was penalised. "Fake Week was also invented to keep Charley in. Everybody knew she'd had a really bad week and nominations were going her way." A spokesperson said: "This is ridiculous. Housemates are the ones who decide who is up for eviction and it's down to the public who they vote out of the house. Billi received seven nominations - the highest so far - and faced Carole and Tracey to become the 4th evicted housemate. "Each year, Big Brother spends a lot of time planning a number of twists and surprises for the housemates. Viewers were completely in with what Big Brother planned for Fake Week and the 'fake' eviction last Friday week, prior to nominations even taking place." Billi evicted from BB house - June 29 2007 Big Brother contestant Billi has become the third person to be booted out of the reality show. The 25-year-old model was odds-on favourite with the bookies to follow Shabnam and Seany out the door. Billi, from Middlesex, had rubbed a few housemates up the wrong way since he entered the reality programme two weeks ago. When the show’s host Davina McCall announced the result of the public vote the 25-year-old shrugged his shoulders before being hugged by the other contestants. Long-haired Billi Bhatti has modelled for three years, including at London Fashion Week and recently appeared in the video for Jamelia’s single Beware of the Dog. He said before entering the house that he suspected he would be nominated for being two-faced, arrogant and vain. Ziggy in particular did not warm to the model - who received 55.1% of the total votes cast - and ended up dumping his in-house girlfriend, Posh Spice wannabe Chanelle, after she and Billi appeared to be openly flirting. The pair eventually reconciled, but Ziggy still nominated Billi for the chop, saying: "He’s played some games, he’s trying to play people off each other." The model probably gained some points on Wednesday night, however, when he faced up to two-faced Charley. The pair started bickering and Billi told her she was going to be the "most hated contestant ever" when she leaves the house. She countered with a jibe about his teeth, to which he replied: "You look like a horse, mate" and sarcastically added: "Yeah, you’re a big star Charley, you’re a big star. You should have been on Celebrity Big Brother."

	A model with a penchant for Page 3 Girls, Billi has appeared in several music videos including one for Jamelia’s Beware of the Dog.  Hailing from Uxbridge he is obsessed with wrestling, plays football and admits to being vain. July 2007
