We are only 1 week into the Big Brother show and already we have lost two housemates.

There have been no official evictions but Tuesday saw Shahbaz Chauhdary leave the house volunatrily, and earlier today Dawn Blake was forcibly removed by Big Brother.

When I first heard the news I was sure that Big Brother was trying to protect the rest of the housemates from Dawn’s pungent body odour, but actually the reason for her removal was due to her obtaining and using information from the outside world using a form of code.

Channel 4 issued this statement to summarise the reasons for Dawn’s exit:

“Before all housemates enter the house, Big Brother asks them whether there are any circumstances of a personal nature that they wish to be informed of, whilst in the house. Yesterday, a member of Dawn’s family contacted Big Brother with a confidential message, which Dawn had stipulated she wished to be informed of, should the situation arise. This message was delivered to Dawn by Big Brother, in confidence and in good faith, in the Diary Room yesterday.”

“Last night Dawn revealed to the housemates that the message Big Brother delivered contained a pre-arranged code from her sister. As this is a fundamental breach of the rules, Big Brother removed Dawn from the house this afternoon.”

The message that was supposed to mean that Dawns sister was ill, actually meant that Dawn was receiving bad press on the outside.

Despite the unexpected exits of both Dawn and Shahbaz, tomorrows eviction will go ahead as planned. What excitement!
