Celebrity Big Brother: Ken Morley removed from CBB house for “unacceptable and offensive” language

Another one bites the dust

Ken Morley has been asked to leave the Celebrity Big Brother house after a string of racist and sexist comments aimed at his housemates.

CBB bosses have released a statement, saying:

“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 within24 hours.”

The Coronation Street actor had been given an official warning by Big Brother over the weekend after first calling American R&B star Alexander O’Neal a “n***o” and then making creepy comments about following his female housemates to the bathroom because “it’s the best place in the world to look at women’s arses”.

It's the latest in a weekend of controversy for the Channel 5 show, what with Jeremy Jackson also being asked to leave on Saturday after embarrassing Chloe Goodman by exposing her boob while drunk.

The former Baywatch star had been drinking on Friday evening when he started feeling ill and went to the bathroom to be sick.

After initially being looked after by Cami Li, Nadia Sawalha and Chloe, the other two women left Chloe and Jeremy in the bathroom away from the cameras.

Viewers then heard Chloe telling Jeremy: "Seriously Jeremy, that's not OK. I'm leaving now," before running out of the bathroom in tears.

She later told the housemates that Jeremy had untied her dressing gown, exposing her boob, and Jeremy was told by Big Brother that he would have to sleep in a separate room that night.

When he sobered up the next day, he tried pushing the blame on Chloe, telling the Diary Room: “I had a few different types of alcohol... I had a young girl in there, bending over my face, boobs in my face... When I grabbed the tip of her robe, she’s naked. Why come into a private room with me naked?

“I mixed rum and vodka and it didn’t agree with my system so I ended up vomiting. While I was doing that, Chloe insisted on coming in and helping me... While I was doing that, I was dumb enough to lift her robe while she was leaning in my face," he added.
