Gae has left the building.

The African temp left the house through the reward room at 1.55pm, and was promptly whisked away to the airport.

"It's been fantastic," he told the group as they drunk a toast with cider moments before he went.

After receiving a farewell card from Steph, he gave lollipops to each of the girls, as well as a photo of himself.

The gang walked him down the corridor to the reward room, applauding and cheering.

"Thanks, I really enjoyed myself," he said, before the door closed.

Farewell, Gae!
