Steve became the first of four housemates to be booted out of the Big Brother house tonight as the 11th series enters its closing stages.
The audience gave the ex-serviceman a resounding cheer as he left the house and gave the crowd the thumbs-up.
Steve was injured by a bomb in 1989 while on patrol in Belfast.
He lost both of his legs as well as an eye. He now wears a black glass eye which he says his kids love as he "looks like a pirate".
Despite his disability, sporty Steve is a transatlantic yacht racer and recently took part in the Royal Ocean Yacht Race with an amputee crew of ex-service personnel, even though he cannot swim.
He is also a volunteer coach for wheelchair basketball.
Andrew was also told he had secured a spot in the final.
