SWINDON-BORN actress Thaila Zucchi has left the Big Brother house after completing her secret mission as a fake housemate.
Thaila, who entered the reality show on Sunday, was pretending to be Australian waitress Pauline as part of the programme's Fake Week.
In a task last night housemates had two minutes to position themselves on 12 podiums - ranging from least fake to most fake member.
Brian Belo, who had earlier been told the truth about Thaila by Big Brother but ordered not to tell anyone, appeared agonised at wanting to pass the task but not blow his secret.
In a masterstroke he said: "I think we should put Pauline at the end, because we don't know her as well, yeah? To be fair. Nothing against you Pauline."
Big Brother then instructed housemates to gather on the sofas as Thalia was called to the Diary Room.
The grand announcement followed shortly, as Big Brother revealed Pauline was not from Australia and was, in fact, an actress from Swindon and that by identifying her as the most fake, housemates had passed their shopping task.
"Well done housemates," said Thalia, appearing on the plasma screen. "You worked out that I was the fakest housemate in the House. It was so nice to meet you all and I've had an amazing time."
