Lee Ryan has become the sixth housemate to be evicted from Celebrity Big Brother.
The Blue singer was evicted following tonight's surprise twist, which saw Emma Willis enter the house to announce who had polled the fewest votes to win.
Willis entered the house for the final part of the 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' task and admitted that she had been lying to the housemates when she told them on Friday that they had all made the final.
Lee exited the house with Willis immediately to the surprise of the remaining housemates.
Asked if he was surprised to leave the house, he told Willis: "No, I knew something was happening. I hoped that it was me and I'm really happy that it is."
He admitted that Big Brother had been "very kind" by giving him the chance to leave the house without being met by a hostile crowd.
Asked what he thought the nation have been saying about him while he has been in the house, he said: "I think it's probably goes something like 'Lee from Blue is a love rat'."
He added: "Okay, let me explain. I'm a single man, I've always said that I'm a single man. I've always said to Casey that I'm in it to have a laugh and have fun. I'm single and I don't want a relationship.
"When I first sat down with Casey and tried to tell her, she said 'You're embarrassing me' and I was like 'sh*t'. I really didn't know what to do and she said 'well, you should have thought about that first', and I honestly didn't know what to say."
"I'm not responsible for Casey's feelings. She is very full on. It's very difficult in there," he continued. "Casey has said by her own admission that when you're in the house it is nice to have someone to cuddle. She'll say let's have a cuddle and there's nothing in it.
"If it's an open and honest thing we do, then why am I being scrutinised for it? I'm not a mind reader. She's told me she likes me but then she's like 'it's cool, we're friends'."
The singer described the moment Jasmine returned the house as "horrible".
Asked why he lied about kissing Casey in the toilet when Jasmine confronted him, he said: "It was a really intense situation. I suppressed all my feelings for Jasmine to be honest.
A day is like a week in there, so it's hard to get perspective on things. Emotions run high and you feel one way one minute and the house messes with you the next. Obviously when I saw Jasmine it killed me. I hated it."
Lee explained that he intends to speak to Jasmine now he has left the house, but is unsure about their future together.
"She's beautiful and amazing. I do really like her and she gives me these feelings I haven't had in a long time," he said.
Celebrity Big Brother continues tomorrow night at 9pm on Channel 5.
