Leslie Jordan has become the second evictee from this season of 'Celebrity Big Brother' after he followed David Macintosh out of the house on Friday evening.
The 81-year-old American TV star told Emma Willis afterwards that he “was surprised” that Audley Harrison had nominated him, joking about their height difference, “Do you even know I’m down here?!”
Leslie Jordan is the second resident to leave the House this week
He went on to say that he was “called out for eating too much” and admitted that it “never crossed my mind that I couldn’t eat what I want".
When asked about his experience in the House, Leslie admitted that he had been naive, that he had been advised to watch the show before going in. “I thought I was going to come in and it was going to be an endless cocktail party,” he said, before saying it was more like a "boot camp".
Leslie said he had thought it was going to be one big dinner party, not boot camp
After being shown footage of him losing his temper in the House, a visibly shocked Leslie said, “That’s so hard, I could weep…that’s not me…That’s a sad little man to me.” Emma suggested that it was an adjustment period and he admitted that his life is very different on the outside world, with lots of red carpet events and slapping on the back, “I couldn’t even go into the Pod without someone irritating me,” he added.
Who's going to win this series?
'Celebrity Big Brother': Meet The Housemates
Lauren Goodger(01 of14)
The former 'The Only Is Essex' star whose rocky relationship with Mark Wright had viewers gripped, it's pretty much a given that she's going to cause some serious 'TOWIE'-style drama.A six-second sex tape of her performing a sex act on her then-boyfriend recently leaked, which she has described as a "humiliating" experience. She was later forced to deny claims that the sex tape was fake, as no one appeared to be able to find it online. (credit:Channel 5)
George Gilbey(02 of14)
George is probably better known to 'Gogglebox' viewers as 'Squeaky', thanks to his unique speaking voice when he passes judgement on the week's TV with his parents on the hit Channel 4 series.We're used to seeing him sitting in front of the telly, let's see how he fares when he's on it... (credit:Channel 5)
Angelique 'Frenchy' Morgan(03 of14)
There's one every year, isn't there? The one contestant who heads into the house to cries of "who?" from around the nation.This French former exotic dancer was discovered during her time living in Las Vegas, going on to appear on Playboy TV. She's also appeared in Oscar-nominated titles such as 'Milf School' and 'Gina's Filthy Hos', which we're sure are totally wholesome, feel-good films with an important social message. (credit:Channel 5)
Audley Harrison(04 of14)
One of two stars with a boxing history in this year's series, Audley Harrison is no stranger to reality telly, having appeared on 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2011. Despite encouragement to retire, he won his second Heavyweight title at the age of 41 last year, determination that will come in handy in the house, we're sure.He's also the first ever 'CBB' housemate to have an Olympic gold medal, which rather puts Jasmine Waltz and Casey Batchelor's achievements in the shade. (credit:Channel 5)
Claire King(05 of14)
Best known for her roles in 'Bad Girls' and 'Bad Girls', Claire describes herself as "down to earth" and a "country girl at heart". We're sure with that attitude she'll be stealing the spotlight in the 'CBB' house. (credit:Channel 5)
David McIntosh(06 of14)
Since he began romancing Kelly Brook earlier this year, David has never been far away from the headlines, including one unfortunate incident when he drove a van full of dead badgers into a bus stop.Considering his press shot sees him showcasing his impressive physique, we're thinking this former 'Gladiator' has already worked out what he's bringing to the 'CBB' table... (credit:Channel 5)
Edele Lynch(07 of14)
Fans of 90s music (we know you're out there...) will remember Edele from her days in with B*Witched. While the group were known for their double denim and perma-smiles, it seems things behind the scenes were a little more rocky, as was revealed during their stint on 'The Big Reunion'. (credit:Channel 5)
Gary Busey(08 of14)
'Point Break' actor Gary Busey has a reputation for slightly erratic behaviour, which we think is going to make him one to watch in this year's 'Celebrity Big Brother'.Interestingly, he also has a black belt in four separate martial arts. (credit:Channel 5)
James Jordan(09 of14)
James is a former 'Strictly' professional dancer, who was allegedly axed from the show this year after it's claimed bosses grew tired of his outbursts. He's since spoken negatively about the dancing show, which his wife is still a dancer on.A 'CBB' housemate unafraid to speak his mind at the drop of a hat? This should be interesting... (credit:Channel 5)
Kellie Maloney(10 of14)
Former boxing promoter Kellie made headlines earlier this month when she gave an interview revealing that she was actually a trans woman, which is the reason she left the world of boxing late last year.Having been known as Frank Maloney at the height of her fame, she was previously the manager of Lennox Lewis, helping him secure his title as Heavyweight Champion of the World in 1993. (credit:Channel 5)
Leslie Jordan(11 of14)
'Will and Grace' fans will recognise Leslie Jordan as the actor behind the sassy and fabulous Beverley Leslie, Karen Walker's nemesis in the hit series.A former journalist, he has also starred in 'The Help' and the most recent series of 'American Horror Story'.We don't mind admitting we have incredibly high hopes for Leslie. (credit:Channel 5)
Ricci Guarnaccio(12 of14)
The former 'Geordie Shore' cast member known for two things: his relationship with Vicky Pattinson and his toned body. We're guessing it won't take him long before both of them are mentioned. (credit:Channel 5)
Stephanie Pratt(13 of14)
Reality telly fans will almost certainly have seen Stephanie - if not from her original run on 'The Hills', then her recent appearances on 'Made In Chelsea', where she tore into her ex-boyfriend, Spencer Matthews.We're guessing she may have taken some tips from her brother Spencer Pratt, who was joint runner-up on 'Celebrity Big Brother' in 2012. (credit:Channel 5)
White Dee(14 of14)
One of the first rumoured 'CBB' contestants, White Dee has finally left 'Benefits Street' behind for a new abode in Borehamwood. Unfortunately for her it's a house share with 13 others...Since 'Benefits Street' became a smash hit with viewers, Deirdre (for that is her real name) has been inundated with offers from all over the world to do modelling shoots, and other reality shows.We can't wait to see how she gets on in 'Celebrity Big Brother'... (credit:Channel 5)
As for Gary Busey, who has stirred up most emotion in the House this season, Leslie told Emma, "I adore Gary now," but admitted, " He’s very difficult…but another A for effort” He added that “We had real problems with his hygiene” and suggested that he must be used to someone telling him when to clean.
As for his rollercoaster relationship with Frenchy, Leslie admitted, “There were a lot of rituals” with her. He remembered the time Frenchy “stomped all our food” and joked, “Little fatty likes his food!”
He then said that he said “horrible things” to Frenchy but “gave her an A for effort” for trying to be nicer.

Racing pundit and super-hunk John McCririck revisited reality TV when he joined the 'Ultimate Big Brother' house, and still occasionally offers his opinions on 'Bit On The Side'. (credit:Matt Cardy via Getty Images)
Dane Bowers(04 of25)
Proving you can't keep a good thing down for long, Dane had his 300th crack at a music career, as a member of 'Big Reunion' supergroup (and boy are they "super"), 5th Story, but the group soon disbanded. (credit:Ben A. Pruchnie via Getty Images)
Les Dennis(05 of25)
Les has enjoyed stints in several touring theatre productions since his slightly alarming time in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house, and landed a part in 'Corrie' as Michael Rodwell. (credit:Tim Whitby via Getty Images)
Sue Perkins(06 of25)
Forgot Sue had been on 'Celebrity Big Brother', had you? Of course, she's now best known for co-presenting 'The Great British Bake Off', cramming in as many 'soggy bottom' innuendos into an hour-long show as is humanly possible. (credit:Eamonn McCormack via Getty Images)
Alex Reid(07 of25)
Alex married - and then divorced - Katie Price soon after leaving the 'Big Brother' house. He then had a relationship with fellow 'CBB' alum Chantelle Houghton, and the pair have a daughter together. Alex is still a big name in the go-go world of cage fighting, but has also tried his luck as an actor, starring in the Oscar-worthy 'Killer Bitch' as well as playing a stripper in 'Wildboyz', alongside 'BB' housemate Dale Howard and former 'Corrie' hunk, Danny Young. (credit:Gareth Cattermole via Getty Images)
Julian Clary(08 of25)
The undisputed King of the Innuendo, Julian toured the UK on his 'Position Vacant - Apply Within' tour shortly after bagging the title of 'CBB' winner, dishing the dirt about his housemates in the show, which also saw him on the hunt for a husband. (credit:Ben Pruchnie via Getty Images)
Mark Owen(09 of25)
He probably wouldn't like you to mention it, but Mark won the second ever series of 'Celebrity Big Brother', beating Melinda Messenger to the title. He had a short-lived crack at a solo career (we maintain that his single '4 Minute Warning' was a 10/10 pop gem no matter what anyone else says) after his eviction, and is now back with Take That. (credit:Sean Gallup via Getty Images)
Luisa Zissman(10 of25)
Squeezing as much as she can out of the 15 minutes of fame she's been allocated since her eviction, Luisa has launched a line of bikinis, written a cook-book and also honed her presenting skills on the 'BBBOTS' panel. She's since married businessman Andrew Collins, and she is now expecting her second child. (credit:Tim P. Whitby via Getty Images)
Charlotte Crosby(11 of25)
Proving there's nothing that Britain loves more than a woman in her 20s wetting the bed, Charlotte landed her own TLC reality series after winning 'CBB'. She has also been a big fitness star, launching her own DVD and cookbook. She quit 'Geordie Shore' in 2016 but is never far away from the headlines, thanks to her complicated relationship with Gaz Beadle. (credit:Lisa Maree Williams via Getty Images)
Preston(12 of25)
He and fellow 'CBB' star Chantelle had a short-lived time as the nation's sweethearts, before ultimately splitting. But not before embarrassing himself on national TV when he stormed off the 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' panel, after Simon Amstell poked fun at Chantelle. Awks.Bizarrely, a song written by Preston - 'Dressed To Kill' - recently cropped up on Cher's latest album. Yes, Cher. Actual. Cher, and in 2016, he appeared on Channel 4's 'First Dates'. (credit:Mark Wieland via Getty Images)
Frankie Cocozza(13 of25)
With the ever-growing list of names on his bum getting longer than our typical Nando's order - and that's saying something - Frankie tried to launch his music career after leaving 'CBB', but his debut single 'She's Got A Motorocycle' (which we can only guess told the story of someone - presumably a woman - who had a motorcycle in their possession) peaked at no. 89. Which incidentally is the same number of names he now has inked on his derriere... (credit:Fred Duval via Getty Images)
Vanessa Feltz(14 of25)
One of the most memorable - for all the wrong reasons - moments in 'CBB' history came from Vanessa Feltz, who took part in the 2014 series of 'Strictly Come Dancing', becoming the second celeb to dance away from the competition. She also continues to host shows on BBC Radio London and BBC Radio 2. (credit:Stuart C. Wilson via Getty Images)
Mutya Buena(15 of25)
Since leaving 'CBB', Mutya rang up her old mates - the original Sugababes, Keisha and Siobhan - and decided to give the old pop career another try, forming the imaginatively titled pop group, Mutya Keisha Siobhan. We've heard nothing from them since their debut single 'Flatline', but we're not giving up hope that they can still deliver a great pop album. At some point. In the next decade. (credit:Tim P. Whitby via Getty Images)
Claire Richards(16 of25)
Things may have gone quiet on the Steps front after their brief reunion, but Claire went on to serve on the 'Loose Women' panel in 2015. (credit:Stuart Wilson via Getty Images)
Lee Ryan(17 of25)
Oh dear. After poor old Lee was booted out of the 'CBB' house haven't gone too well for him in his personal life - with his ex Jasmine Waltz branding him "a damaged soul with no money or career". He later hit the road with Blue as part of 'The Big Reunion' boybands tour later in 2014. (credit:Stuart C. Wilson via Getty Images)
Jo O'Meara(18 of25)
Her treatment of Shilpa Shetty didn't exactly make her popular with the public, but Jo staged a reunion with her S Club 7 bandmates in 2014, and went on tour the nation with them the following year. (credit:Stuart Wilson via Getty Images)
Jasmine Lennard(19 of25)
'Celebrity Big Brother' catapulted Jasmine from the Z-list to... well... slightly higher up the Z-list. She is best known for her notable Twitter feuds, including with fellow 'CBB' contestant, Luisa Zissman.She also popped up in the 2015 civilian series of 'Big Brother' as part of the 'Timebomb' twist, and she quickly formed a relationship with housemate Christian MJC. Surprisingly, the pair are still together. (credit:Nat Jag via Getty Images)
Keith Duffy(20 of25)
Keith took part in the first ever 'CBB', and has since reformed Boyzone and enjoyed a long-running part on 'Coronation Street', as well as getting us all hot under the collar (or maybe that was just us?) on 'Splash'.In 2016, he also got together with Westlife's Brian McFadden to form, wait for it, BOYZLIFE (*slow clap*) for a new tour. (credit:Tristan Fewings via Getty Images)

After a brief split with her husband Doug Hutchinson, the pair soon reunited. They announced they were expecting their first child together in 2016, but Courtney sadly suffered a miscarriage. (credit:JIM WATSON via Getty Images)
Speidi(22 of25)
After capturing the nation's attention on 'CBB', Speidi became the subject of a one-off documentary, 'Scandal, Secrets & Surgery!'.Late last year, Spencer also graduated with a degree in political science from the University of Southern California. We wonder if Rylan helped him revise. (credit:Ethan Miller via Getty Images)
Pete Burns(23 of25)
After the obligatory re-release of 'You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)', following his eviction, Pete has since made a number of TV appearances, including his appearance on 'The Body Shocking Show' to discuss cosmetic surgery.We didn't even realise he'd had any, to be honest.He also pops up from time-to-time on the 'BBOTS' panel. (credit:Chris Jackson via Getty Images)
Michael Barrymore(24 of25)
We had thought 'CBB' might be a springboard for Michael to relaunch his once-glittering TV career, but aside from a role in a production of 'Scrooge', things have remained quiet for him on the career front. He recently appeared in a celebrity special of 'The Jeremy Kyle Show' to discuss his turbulent personal life. (credit:Danny Martindale via Getty Images)
Jackie Stallone(25 of25)
Whatever she's doing, we're sure she's still looking fabulous."Yeah, Yackie".Iconic. (credit:Gareth Cattermole via Getty Images)
