Big Brother shock: Emily is booted out of house

After racist remark, she's off the show

Emily Parr left the Big Brother house in the early hours of this morning after using a racially offensive work to a fellow housemate Charley.

The two girls were dancing with Nicky in the living room last night and Emily - who claimed it was just a joke - was heard to say, 'Are you pushing it out, you nigger?' to Charley.

Charley and Nicky said they weren't personally offended, although both were shocked at the use of such an offensive word.

Senior executives at Channel 4 the made the decision to remove Emily, 19, from the house on the grounds that she had broken the rules governing contestant behaviour.

The BB House Rules

Unacceptable behaviour includes: behaving in a way that could cause serious offence to either their fellow Housemates or members of the viewing public including serious offence based on the grounds of race.
