Brentford BB star Marcus Akin begs for the boot

10:02am Wednesday 12th August 2009 in News By Lucy Buckland

Hairy Big Brother trouble maker Marcus Akin told housemates he wants to leave on Friday after finding out he is facing the public vote against posh toff Freddie.

Brentford bad boy Marcus received seven votes, with Siavash being the only person not to put the window fitter's name forward.

Meanwhile, student Freddie was handed five nominations - from Charlie, David, Sophie, Lisa and Rodrigo.

This comes after Big Brother announced that the housemates were free to discuss the eviction process, following persistent rule-breaking.

On hearing about the change, Marcus revealed that he was keen to leave and urged the rest of the group to vote for him.

But the tough 35-year-old broke down in the house after spotting his publicity shot for a task.

The mullet lover said: "I looked at the picture quickly for two seconds and it's made me go like this. I honestly feel like crying, I really do. After all the things in this house, I've never thought about crying but looking at that picture makes me wanna cry."
