Emily Parr Removed From Big Brother House

Big Brother 8: Emily ParrMove over Jade Goody, someone needs to join you on the BB rejects bench!

Emily Parr was removed from the Big Brother house at 3.30am this morning for using a racist term when addressing fellow housemate Charley.

Emily said: “Are you pushing it out, you nigger?” to Charley Uchea, while they were talking in the garden on Wednesday evening.

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.”

The incident was not broadcast on the live streaming but was reported to senior production staff who took the decision to remove Emily immediately.

Angela Jain, head of the Big Brother commissioning team, said: “The word nigger is clearly racially offensive and there was no justification for its use.”

The housemates learned the news from a statement left by Big Brother

She added: “She [Emily] understands why her involvement has come to an end and she very much regrets what she said.

“I think people watching the show tonight will agree that Emily spoke carelessly rather than maliciously – certainly Charley and Nicky, the two housemates most directly involved in the conversation with her, seemed to accept that she did.”
