UPTON-upon-Severn Big Brother contestant Tim Culley has been given the thumbs-down by viewers - who rate him bottom of the pile of housemates.

A viewers' poll, run by Channel 4 on the cult programme's website, has placed former Malvern College student Tim in 14th place - even behind housemates who have been evicted or who have "walked".

The Durham graduate has received around 14,000 votes on the site, but still languishes at the bottom of the pecking order.

Tim has also been given the thumbs-down by female viewers in another Channel 4 website poll.

When asked if Tim was a hunk, nearly 80 per cent said no, with only four per cent saying he was "a looker".

But bookmakers Ladbrokes are still offering odds of 10-1 for Tim to bag the £70,000 prize money in the show.

Housemates Spencer, Alex, Jonny and Adele are all being tipped more favourably than him.

The 23-year-old seems to be going down well with his housemates, despite picking up a nasty case of sunburn.
