BB girl kicked out for racism

The 19-year-old called Charley Uchae a "n*****" as they danced together in the living room of the house last night.

And she was woken up in the early hours of today and removed from the show for breaking the rules over her comments. It is the second time the programme has been embroiled in a race row after the Shilpa Shetty controversy on Celebrity Big Brother in January, which sparked outrage across the world.

The latest outburst came when Emily was dancing with Charley and Nicky Maxwell, when she pushed her hips forward and said: "Are you pushing it out you n*****?" A shocked Charley and Nicky immediately told her the word was unacceptable, and Emily insisted it had been a joke.

Nicky said: "Em, I can't believe you said that", and Charley added: "You are in big trouble."

Emily urged them not to "make a big thing out of it" but the girls continued to discuss the issue with Emily, insisting she is "friendly with plenty of black people".

Channel 4 bosses decided to remove her from the house, and woke Emily up at 3.28am by calling her to the Diary Room to break the news. She was not allowed to contact other housemates and was escorted from the house. The rest of the housemates were told about her eviction at 9.30am today.

Housemate Lesley Brain, 60, read a statement aloud saying: "Emily has been removed from the house."

Charley broke down crying and said: "You wouldn't ever hear something like that coming out of my mouth."

Emily, a drama student from Bristol, is a Tory voter and admits to being right wing. She lists benefits cheats as among her pet hates and predicted that the public will want to "be her friend".

She lives with her parents - chemical worker Roger and mum Mandy - at their £350,000 large detached modern house in the city along with her twin sisters Jessica and Alice. Angela Jain, who heads the Big Brother commissioning team at Channel 4, said: "I think people watching the show tonight will agree that Emily spoke carelessly rather than maliciously. She understands why her involvement in Big Brother has had to come an end."

But Channel 4 faced further controversy as it was revealed the footage will be broadcast tonight with the N-word featured for the first time and then bleeped for its subsequent use.

The eviction planned for tomorrow night - which Emily was up for - has been cancelled.

Earlier this year, the celebrity version of the programme sparked outrage across the world when Jade Goody, Jo O'Meara and Danielle Lloyd made disparaging remarks about fellow housemate Shilpa Shetty. Comments directed at Shetty included "Shilpa Poppadum" and Lloyd saying she should "f*ck off home."

It became an international row, with effigies of Goody being burned in India and sparked a police investigation.

Ofcom ordered Channel 4 to make a series of on-air apologies for its failure to act, including an announcement before the new series began last week.
