Geordie Shore’s Gaz tricks people into voting for Scotty T to win Celebrity Big Brother

Gaz posted a picture on Snapchat with what looked like his phone number, telling fans to give him a phone.

Little did they know that it was instead the CBB voting number for his Geordie Shore co-star Scotty, who is in the running to win.

Channel 5 were not impressed with his antics and Gaz was quickly forced to remove the post.

It may be too little too late, however, as Scotty T is now the bookies favourite, with Tiffany 2nd and Stephanie 3rd.

In a statement on the Celebrity Big Brother website, the producers said: "We've been made aware of an individual's post on Snapchat which may have led people to unwittingly call the phone line to vote for Scotty T. The Snapchat user has no connection with the Celebrity Big Brother production team or Channel 5.

"We contacted the poster in question to demand the post is removed. If any voters have inadvertently called the Celebrity Big Brother voting lines as a direct result of this post, we would ask them to get in contact with us before midnight tonight (Thursday 4th February 2016)."

The Celebrity Big Brother final will air tonight (February 5) at 9pm on Channel 5.
