Celebrity Big Brother’s Gary Goldsmith became the first housemate to be evicted from the show’s ITV revival series on Friday.

The millionaire businessman, 58, who is Kate Middleton’s uncle, faced eviction over The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lauren Simon.

In his first interview on Late & Live, Gary said: ‘I had the best time, I went in with one agenda and I achieved it in five days.

“I don’t consider myself a celebrity, I’m just related to someone who is a big celebrity.”

Gary previously claimed he has no interest in being a celebrity, and when presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best asked if that was true, he said: ‘100% totally. I want to change what people think of my personality. It hurts when people refer to things from twenty years ago that are not all true, they call me a bunch.’

During Thursday night’s episode, the housemates learned that Lauren had received the most nominations of her housemates this week.

Meanwhile, Gary was previously nominated by celebrity tenant Sharon Osbourne, who had the power to nominate one housemate to face the first live eviction.

Lauren received six nominations from Bradley Riches, Colson Smith, Gary Goldsmith, Marisha Wallace, Nikita Kuzmin and Zeze Millz.

Gary’s nomination comes after several housemates wasted no time in asking Kate Middleton’s uncle about the reasons why they were in the house.

Sharon took a swipe at Gary during Wednesday’s episode as she questioned his true intentions for being in the house.

Gary was one of three housemates in the ‘danger zone’ and was at risk of being picked up by Sharon, 71, as one of the stars about to be eliminated.

Gary, David Potts and Zeze Millz were all given the chance to explain why they had to stay in the house as they begged her to keep them inside.

Kate Middleton’s uncle admitted he wants the chance to change the public’s perception of him after always being known as the ‘black sheep’ of the family.

Sharon said, “So we’re going to have a nice chat, Gary. Tell me, why did you accept the offer to enter the house?’

Gary said he has no interest in becoming famous, to which Sharon replied: “Why don’t I believe you when you say that?”

Gary said: ‘It does bother me what the public perception of me is. The black sheep of the family. I’m a normal guy. Coincidentally, my niece married Will.”

The businessman then insisted that he has no interest in being a celebrity himself.

He said, “If I could just show people that I’m not that person. I really put myself out there because this is not my world. At the end of the day, I’m not a celebrity. I don’t want to be a celebrity, I don’t want to walk that path.

But Sharon was immediately skeptical of this claim, replying, “Why don’t I believe you when you say that?”
