Ken Morley Removed From ‘Celebrity Big Brother' House

Ken REMOVED From 'CBB' House
|

Ken Morley has become the second housemate to be removed from the current series of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, following his use of “unacceptable and offensive language”.

The former ‘Coronation Street’ star has offended his fellow housemates on numerous occasions, and one exchange screened on Saturday, saw him make remarks about people of African heritage during a conversation with Alexander O’Neal.

A statement from ‘CBB’ bosses reads: “Ken Morley has been removed from the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house for using unacceptable and offensive language following his formal warning.

“Tuesday’s eviction is now cancelled and lines are now closed. Anyone who has already voted will be able to apply for a full refund and details will be available on the Big Brother website within 24 hours."

Ken’s comments towards the female housemates have previously been called into question a number of times, and his response to the incident between Jeremy Jackson and Chloe Goodman also shocked viewers and housemates alike.

Shortly after Jeremy “opened” Chloe’s dressing gown, a move which saw him removed from the house, Ken told her: “Jeremy’s a big film producer, don’t mess yourself up”.

Ken’s exit is expected to be aired during tonight’s (12 January) show.

It finally happened, 'CBB' finally snagged Katie Hopkins, reportedly offering her the highest fee in the show's 13-year history to get her to take part. Originally finding fame on 'The Apprentice', Katie's big mouth and strong opinions have made her a household name in the past couple of years, as she's mused on issues as varied as childhood obesity, class and - of course - the world of celebrity, all in her typically barbed fashion.

Believe it or not, despite having apparently starred on every reality series going, Calum has never actually appeared on 'CBB' before.After a few years away from the limelight, Calum is back in the UK, but insists that despite his Lothario reputation, he won't be following in Lee Ryan's footsteps and getting involved in any in-house romances. We'll wait and see if he sticks to his guns on that one... (credit:Channel 5)

WERRRRRRRRRK.If you're not familiar with Michelle Visage, then you want to get yourself on Netflix immediately and swot up on 'RuPaul's Drag Race'. As Ru's best mate, Michelle is his right-hand woman, dishing out her opinions on the participating queens week after week.But judging blokes in dresses isn't Michelle's only talent, she's a former 80s popstar who appeared on the soundtrack to 'The Bodyguard', not to mention a self-confessed 'CBB' superfan.

As soon as we heard the rumours of Cheggers going into the house, we had our fingers crossed that he'd be taking part - and our prayers have been answered.He's practically a reality TV veteran - even scooping a lifetime achievement award at the Reality TV Awards in 2012 - and famously stripped off to host the Channel 5 gameshow 'Naked Jungle'.

Answers on a postcard...No but seriously, Chloe appeared alongside Vicky Pattison and Ricci Guarnaccio in the first series of 'Ex And The Beach' and has been described as a Cheryl Fernandez-Versini lookalike in the run-up to 'CBB' (well, she's got brown hair, it's a start...).We're guessing she'll be the most likely to test Calum's "no romance" rule.
