Speaking to The Sun, Levi said that his perception of his housemates had not changed since leaving the house but admitted he still has reservations over the authenticity of some of his co-stars.

He told us: "I don’t think it’s fair to base my thoughts other than when I was in the house with the people and how they were with me, because it can be a little bit not right to base upon what knowledge I have now or what I’ve seen on social media. I think that’s wrong.

"I’ll always have to imagine and talk about them within the brackets of being in the Big Brother house.

"My views have not changed on anyone. I still respect those who have always respected me within the house and still have a little bit of reservation for those who I had reservations for in the house.

"I don’t think it’s fair to call names, but it was more about groups.

"I think it was very clear there was a divide in the group, some were sitting on one side and some were sitting on the other.

"It became a football match – one side knew how to play the game really well and I thought they were playing blinder.

"But some on the other side, including myself, had not a clue about how to play the game and were just being totally honest about their responses and were not playing a game.

"There was a clear divide in the house and I think it was led by the younger housemates as opposed to us on the other side."

Levi also admitted that he's rooting for Louis Walsh to win - despite them being this year's most controversial housemate.

The Dragons Den star said he's fed up of "liars" and branded Louis honesty as "refreshing".

Levi said: “Deservedly, I’m rooting for Louis.

"When somebody can be themselves totally and be truthful in every single way, including if it puts someone nose out of joint.

"In this world when people play games and lie to others and not show their true feelings, it’s refreshing when you meet somebody who tells you as it is. We’re always crying out that for people to be honest, including politicians, we blame them for telling lies.

"So when we meet somebody who tells it how it is, why should we vilify them.”

Louis was previously labelled as the 'laziest' housemate for not helping out with the washing and cleaning up.

Levi was the first housemate to be axed by the public on Friday, alongside Love Island star Ekin-Su.
