FIVE weeks ago most of the world, apart from his fan club of millions, had never heard of Mario Marconi.
But after his stint on Big Brother he is now known across the country as a facilitator of people.
And now he's out and is about to chat to Davina.
10.35pm - Davina welcomes us back by telling us that all health and safety checks have been done and it is safe for Mario to come out in honour of the man's obsession with all things safety.
10.37pm - Showing us what happened after Mario heard the news and Lisa says that the universe is just calling Mario and he is needed - does she actually think he is THE Super Mario and has to go and defeat Bowser (he's a villain in the Super Mario Bros games for those who don't know).
10.40pm - Davina is coming to get himmmmm! He gives Lisa one last kiss before running up the stairs. After hearing the crowds chants he puts a thumbs down to his housemates who then close their door. And the the doors open. And he is greeted with resounding boos. I'm sure if a Labrador puppy walked out it would get booed.
10.45pm - Mario is now in the studio with Davina and a much more friendly crowd and the first thing that Mario says about being out is that it's a relief.
10.49pm - After showing him who nominated for Mario Davina tells him that his huge fan club had one special celebrity member in Ricky Gervais. Cue a sequence of clips aimed at making the 'Italian stallion' look like David Brent. Though he can't see it himself.
10.51pm - Cue a montage of clips of him and Lisa in the bath exfoliating, squeezing each other's spots and fake tanning together.
10.54pm - Davina asks him about how he and Lisa managed to avoid rowing for so long. But then when asked about their little spat earlier this week Mario says: "I'm protective over her and I can see things that she cannot see. People [are] making life difficult for her."
10.56pm - Mario desribes his stay in the house as fantastic, adding that it was interesting emotionally and for his character.
10.57pm - And with that Davina introduces Mario's best bits by saying he has been a 'legendary housemate'.
10.59pm - And so that is the end for Mario's time in the house. Though I'm sure his spirit will linger long after he has gone. Davina finishes with an interesting aside to tell us that this weekend a head of the house will be picked who will control everything. The house will also be split into two with one side as heaven and one side as hell! Can't wait!
