BIG Brother loser Sezer Yurtseven suffered a second dose of rejection when he was shoved, fully clothed, into the Crouch End lido by a pack of pranksters.
Sezer turned up at the Park Road Pool on Sunday and quickly became the sensation of the hot and sunny afternoon by the pool.
He was surrounded by teenage girls eager to get close to the 26-year-old, who is a former pupil of Highgate Wood School
Sezer gave out autographs and chatted with his admirers, but a group of lads were eager to cut "Sezer the Geezer" down to size - and shoved him, complete with bag, into the water.
One on-looker said: "He was surrounded by girls and he was chatting away, but after about 15 minutes I think he must of got tired of it and started to walk away. These lads went to push him and he got away, but the second time he was in the water.
The lifeguards threatened the lads with having them evicted from the pool, and had to help Sezer out of the water. He was then escorted him out with his soaked bag. He looked visibly shocked.
"The boys were laughing at what they had done, but most people were quite shocked I think."
Staff at the pool were wondering if the whole display had been set up as a publicity stunt.
One said: "Sezer definitely wasn't trying to hide away. I'm not sure if it was a bit of fun, or a set up."
Sezer, who claims to be a stockbroker, was voted out of the Big Brother house after receiving the highest number of public votes ever.
