Producers of Celebrity Big Brother have confirmed that R&B singer Alexander O’Neal has walked out of the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The shocking exit comes just hours after he was given a formal warning by Big Brother for using a homophobic slur towards housemate Perez Hilton.
Both Alexander and Perez have locked horns several times in the house, with Perez being accused of ‘harassing’ the musician.
Following Alexander’s use of the derogatory word, Michelle Visage stopped him and told him not to use language like that.
Katie Hopkins leapt to Alexander’s defence, dramatically smashing the head off Perez’s personal mascot, a bunny statue which he found in the house.
Alexander later apologised for using the shocking slur.
He said: “I shouldn't have said that. It was totally unacceptable.”
Perez has also threatened to walk out of the Big Brother house, asking Big Brother to leave several times.
