Who left Celebrity Big Brother? Gary Goldsmith is kicked out of the house in first live eviction as the public vote to save Lauren Simon
In a surprising turn of events, Gary Goldsmith, the millionaire businessman and uncle of Kate Middleton, was the first housemate to be evicted from the ITV revival series of Celebrity Big Brother. The live eviction took place on Friday, and the public voted to save The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lauren Simon, resulting in Gary's departure from the show.
In his first interview on Late & Live, Gary expressed that he had an incredible time during his five-day stint on the show. He stated that he went into the house with a specific agenda, and he believes he achieved it. Despite his connection to a famous celebrity, Gary emphasized that he does not consider himself a celebrity and wants to change people's perception of his personality.
During the interview, Gary addressed his previous claims about not being interested in fame, confirming that he genuinely has no desire for celebrity status. He expressed his frustration with people referring to events from 20 years ago that are not entirely accurate, leading to derogatory labels like "buncle" being thrown at him. Gary also revealed that he believes Levi Roots deserves to win the show and would use the victory to bring about positive change.
In a surprising moment on the show, Gary displayed his emotional side and acknowledged that he hasn't experienced true peace since admitting to assaulting his wife. During a task at a celestial retreat, Fern Britton asked Gary about finding inner peace. He responded by stating that he believes peace is something to always strive for. He shared his journey, saying that he thought he had a great life until something happened, turning him into a perceived national villain. Reflecting on his personal growth, Gary admitted that he is uncertain of what true peace entails.
Gary's inclusion on the show drew criticism from Women's Aid, a charity that works to prevent domestic abuse. They expressed concerns that featuring men convicted of abuse in entertainment programs sends the message that such crimes are not taken seriously. The charity advised the program to consider the implications of Gary's appearance. In response, Gary stated that he is not perfect and made a mistake in a personal argument seven years ago. He has since worked tirelessly to make amends, although he continues to regret the incident.
ITV reportedly faced the challenge of carefully editing Gary's remarks about Kate Middleton and King Charles on Celebrity Big Brother. Jennie Bond, a former royal correspondent, suggested that any comments Gary makes about the royal family are bound to generate headlines and publicity for the show. However, she acknowledged the need to protect the health and well-being of individuals involved, including the royal family. Therefore, it is likely that the show's lawyers will review and edit any potentially sensitive content related to the royals.
During Thursday night's episode, the housemates discovered that Lauren had received the most nominations from her fellow contestants. Sharon Osbourne, as the celebrity lodger with nomination powers, chose Gary to face the first live eviction. Lauren received six nominations, while Gary was nominated by Sharon herself, among others.
Throughout his time on the show, several housemates questioned Gary about his motives for participating. Sharon, in particular, questioned his true intentions. During Wednesday's episode, Gary found himself in the "danger zone" alongside David Potts and Zeze Millz. Sharon had the authority to select one of them for elimination.
When Sharon confronted Gary about his decision to join the show, he expressed his desire to change the public's perception of him as the "black sheep" of the family. Gary emphasized that he is a normal person and that his connection to Kate Middleton, who married Prince William, is just a coincidence.
With Gary's departure from Celebrity Big Brother, the show continues with the remaining contestants as they navigate the challenges and dynamics of the house. As the series progresses, viewers can expect more surprises, conflicts, and personal revelations from the diverse group of celebrities vying to win the competition.
