Viewers have been left outraged after Austin was given the boot in a shock eviction on last night's Celebrity Big Brother.
I'm out now and have ALL the water I need!
Big thanks to everybody who supported me. Didn't wanna go this way but that's #CBB â¤ðŸ˜‰ pic.twitter.com/Xzb03laZ1x— Austin Armacost (@austinarmacost) January 14, 2017
The eviction has been called rude by viewers after housemates barely batted an eye when he was asked to slip out a side door.
The star became the second to be evicted after he was voted the dullest housemate by the other celebrities. The title carried a severe consequence; eviction.
The bomb was dropped after Emma Willis had introduced three new housemates, Chloe Ferry from Geordie Shore, Kim Woodburn of How Clean is Your House fame and Jessica Cunningham from the latest series of The Apprentice UK.
Viewers were particularly peeved that they had spent money voting for Austin to remain in the house, only for Big Brother to remove him through other means.
#CBB #CBBUK Who goes, you decide? No we didn't. I think evictions should always be public vote. Austin shouldn't have gone.

I don't think the nominated housemates who people voted(PAID) to save should have had to take part in the dullest vote. #CBBUK #CBBAustin 😦

There are of course the few that just love the drama, at whoever's expense...
that was the best shock eviction I've ever seen. he walked out so beaten and deflated - the other housemates didn't even care #CBBUK
