Roberto has become the fourth housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house - in one of the closest votes in the reality show's history.
The 32-year-old teacher had been the odds-on favourite for the boot, edging ahead of fellow nominee, Derek.
The Italian's obsession with food annoyed many of the housemates and his popularity plummeted further when he was caught vote-rigging.
It has been confirmed that Roberto's vacant place will immediately be taken by three new entrants.
