COVENTRY MESSAGE BOARD

… and he wasn't even up for eviction!



The first housemate to leave Celebrity Big Brother this season is… Christopher Biggins?!

Even though the comedy legend is not even up for tonight's first eviction of the series - Channel 5 has revealed that Biggins has been thrown out of the house for good.

A spokesperson for Channel 5 told Digital Spy: "Big Brother has taken the decision to remove Christopher Biggins from the Celebrity Big Brother house.

"Since entering Big Brother, he has made a number of comments capable of causing great offence to housemates and the viewing public.

"Big Brother does not tolerate offensive language capable of causing widespread offence. Christopher Biggins has left the house."

Emma Willis will reveal the shocking reason for Biggins's removal on tonight's live eviction special - with the offending scenes themselves airing during Saturday's Celebrity Big Brother episode.

Biggins was accused by some Celebrity Big Brother fans of biphobia on social media earlier in the week for a bizarre exchange with fellow housemate Renee Graziano about the LGBT community.

"When you're gay you're gay. And I think it's beautiful because I think it's who you are and it's natural," Graziano told Biggins. "But I think today in society they kind of force things on people and they confuse you."

Biggins - who is himself gay - chimed in that it's "trendy" to be LGBT before complaining: "I think the worst type though is, I'm afraid to say, the bisexuals. What it is is people not wanting to admit they are gay."

"That upsets me," Renee agreed. "You have to pick a team."

If those biphobic comments weren't even the cause of Biggins' ejection from the Celebrity Big Brother house, we can't even imagine what he's done now.

Formal warnings have been handed out like candy by Big Brother this week - first to Aubrey O'Day for spitting in Stephen Bear's sandwich and then to Bear himself for tearing the house apart while rowing with Heavy D.

Neither O'Day or Bear are up for tonight's live eviction of the series, with their housemates Grant Bovey and James Whale facing the public vote instead.

Celebrity Big Brother's live eviction show kicks off at 9pm on Channel 5- and it's bound to be controversial.
