The High Court has thrown out a libel action brought by Big Brother 4 housemate Lisa Jeynes who claimed that she had been portrayed as a man posing as a woman.

Ms Jeynes, 38, who featured in the 2003 series of the reality show, had sued over publications on the cover of Love it! magazine and in the News of the World, in May last year.

Her complaint focused on the words: "BB's Lisa 'the geezer'. My fake boobs fell out on date with James Hewitt!"
