Emily thrown out of Big Brother
Emily Parr has been removed from the Big Brother house for using a racially offensive word to another housemate.
The 19-year-old from Bristol was taken out of the compound at 0330 BST and was forbidden from having any further contact with the 11 other contestants
spokeswoman for Channel 4 said that the decision had been taken because "such behaviour won't be tolerated".
This week's eviction vote, in which Emily was nominated along with Shabnam Paryani, has been suspended.
Regret
Channel 4 said the offensive term was not broadcast in the programme during a live stream, and was immediately reported to senior production staff.
The incident will be aired as part of the Big Brother highlights show on Channel 4 on Thursday night.
The broadcaster has said the word will not be bleeped out the first time it is used to give the context of the conversation, but will be cut thereafter.
Emily said: "Are you pushing it out, you hahahahahaha?" to Charley Uchea, while they were dancing in the living room on Wednesday evening.
Indian-born Nicky Maxwell, who was also present, said to Emily: "Erm, I can't believe you just said that."
Charley said "You are in trouble", adding she was "in shock".
Emily replied: "Don't make a big thing out of it... I was joking."
In consultation with broadcast executives, the decision was taken to remove Emily from the house because she had breached rules governing contestant behaviour.
