Too nervous: Konnie HuqToo nervous: Konnie HuqBlue Peter presenter Konnie Huq has become the third student to be voted off Celebrity Fame Academy.

As she left the show, the 29-year-old TV presenter said she was glad to be leaving and admitted that she was not a great singer.

She said: "I can't sing, let's face it. I just think I am really nervous, I don't know why. I can do it in a room but when I get out there and see all the faces I just go to pieces."

She added the whole experience had been "nerve-wracking" and urged Blue Peter viewers to carry on voting despite her exit from the show.

In the first vote since the students moved into the academy house Konnie became the third of 13 celebrities to be voted off the BBC show.

Casualty star Christopher Colquhoun also faced eviction following the public vote but was saved by his fellow contestants who picked him to remain in the competition.

Comedian Jenny Eclair was the second celebrity to be expelled after losing out to Top Of The Pops presenter Reggie Yates.

The other students in the two-week charity show for Red Nose Day include EastEnders actress Kim Medcalf, former Young One Adrian Edmondson, Coronation Street actress Debra Stephenson and Radio 1 DJ Edith Bowman.

Other names in the line-up include Monarch Of The Glen actress Dawn Steele, DIY SOS host Nick Knowles and comedian Gina Yashere.

The nightly expulsions will continue until the March 11 final on Red Nose Day.
