While tucking into a plate of food, the Dragons' Den star admitted he 'misses his family' and wants to leave.

In a sneak peek of tonight's episode, Zeze asks him: "Are you alright, Levi?"

Looking at her, Levi replies: "No."

Zeze continues: "You're looking a it deflated."

Levi - who is up for eviction - tells her: "I am. I want to go home. I really do. I want to be voted out.

"Yeah, I miss my family."

Zeze sympathises: "I think it's getting to that point now where it's getting hard."

It's been a tough week for dad-of-eight Levi after his fallout with Coronation Street star Colson Smith.

In a brutal game, Levi was asked who he thought was the most "boring" housemate and he picked Colson.

Colson, 25, was so upset with Levi for giving him the unfortunate title that he ended up breaking down in tears.

Levi was then later accused of stabbing another of his pals in the back following a very tense round of face-to-face nominations.

It all kicked off when Ekin-Su, 29, became upset and cried after being unexpectedly nominated by Marisha Wallace, 38.

The Love Island star insisted she needed "space" from the theatre performer and ended up talking privately with Levi in the lounge.

Levi told Ekin: "People are jealous of you because you're an amazing person.

"You are a star and that's why people will always gravitate negatively to you. A shining light, that's what I mean."

But fans were left baffled, as Levi and Marisha appear to have a friendship that goes back further than CBB.

One viewer fumed on Reddit: "He told Ekin that Marisha was jealous of her - everyone is confused because why would you say that about a friend?"
