Film director Ken Russell has become the second celebrity to leave the Big Brother house in just two days.

After having a row with the intellectually challenged, Jade Goody, Ken decided he had had enough and asked to leave the house.

Ken said some of the surprises were “a little too much to take” and called himself a “fuddy duddy”.

Ken and Jade’s row broke out because Goody told the veteran film-maker off for helping himself to food, instead of getting a “servant” to give it to him.

Altohough he a dn Jade called a truce, Ken still decided to quit the Channel 4 show.

Housemates were told of Russell’s departure earlier today, when journalist Carole Malone was handed a laminate revealing his exit.

Malone said: “He was a lovely old man, I shall miss him.”
