Former Big Brother housemate Emily Parr is furious with BB bosses after they retracted her invite to the Big Brother final.

She told The Sun newspaper:

“One of the promises made to me was that I would be there on the final night.

“But, at the last minute, they inform me they have changed their minds on this.

“I have followed the Endemol/Channel 4 ‘party line’ since my removal but they have not kept their promises.”

Emily Parr, the Big Brother housemate who was kicked out for making racist comments, has started a campaign to keep Charley Uchea in the BB house.

Speaking to The Daily Star Newspaper, Emily said:

“Losing Charley would be a disaster for the show. It’s true that people hate her right now. But the tide is turning and people will soon love to hate her. Read more & comment »

Former Big Brother housemate, Emily Parr has admitted today that she thinks this years series of BB is fixed for Charley to win.

“There were five birthdays in June in the house, but Charley had the most massive birthday party” Emily told the Star newspaper “It’s definitely BB fixing how people are seen. And everybody is edited into a caricature of themselves”

The Bristol teen also says she was the producers’ original favourite, but had to be kicked out so BB could save its reputation after the Jade Goody race incident on Celebrity Big Brother.

Speaking on Big Brother’s Little Brother, Emily said, “This is not an excuse this is an explanation. I would never try to excuse what I said. I said something awful and I’m so sorry.”

Channel 4 have received more than 1000 complaints that housemate Emily Parr was wrongly evicted.

On the Channel 4 discussion forum one person said:

“Emily has been used as a scapegoat due to the reprimanding of C4 by Ofcom for Celebrity Big Brother.

“A formal warning would have been severe enough.

Family members of disgraced Big Brother housemate, Emily Parr have expressed their disgust today at Emily’;s use of racist language.

Emily’s uncle James Coughlin, 42, told The Sun newspaper:

“I think what she said is terrible. It is completely disgusting and distasteful. I thought that word had been stamped out years ago – it is deeply offensive.

“Her parents will be devastated. I didn’t know those words could come out of her mouth. I can’t believe it’s the Emily I know.”

The following transcript has been provided by Channel 4 as an explanation for why Emily Parr was, this morning, removed from the Big Brother house.

Emily: (referring to Charley dancing/pushing her hips forward) You pushing it out you nigger.
Nicky: (shocked laughter) Em, I can’t believe you said that.
Charley: You are in trouble.
Emily: Don’t make a big thing out of it then. I was joking.
Charley: I know you were… but that’s some serious shit, sorry.
Emily: Why? Read more & comment »

I woke up this morning to the shock news that Emily Parr had been removed from the Big Brother house during the early hours. When I heard that Emily had used a racist term towards Charley I was shocked and sure that she deserved the punishment, now I’m not so vehement.

I know that the Big Brother team had no choice. After the racism fiasco in January’s Celebrity Big Brother, they couldn’t risk another racism scandal.

Yet one has to have some sympathy for Emily, it almost feels as if she is paying for Jade Goody’s mistakes.

Emily should never have used the word “n**ger”, it cannot be excused in anyway, and yet it was not meant to be offensive as far as I can ascertain. It was said during a period of dancing and was not intended to be derogatory. Big Brother had to remove Emily, I believe they had no other choice unless they wanted OFCOM to come down on them like a ton of bricks, however I do have a small amount of sympathy for Emily who will now emerge to a public who hate her.

Move 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.” Read more & comment »

The first Big Brother 2007 evictions will take place this Friday, and Ziggy was given the unadmirable job of nominating the two candidates.

Unsurprisingly Ziggy chose Shabnam, due to her lack of contribution to the household tasks and Emily, mostly due to the row he had with her the previous evening.

When Big Brother announced the results today Emily looked unimpressed, while Shabnam said: “I knew it’d be me. And now I’m going.”

Big Brother’s only pair of hair straighteners caused a huge row between Chanelle and Emily last night.

Big Brother allocates only one gas cannister for the housemates per day for the single pair of straighteners. It was only a matter of time before war broke out!

“There was no need to be so defensive about the straighteners,” accused Chanelle. “It took me two seconds. All I wanted to do was use it on this side of my hair and this side of my hair, so why was it like that?” Read more & comment »

Big Brother housemate Emily Parr has found herself growing more and more attracted to fellow housemate Ziggy as the days have gone by.

“You know, I was so set on not caring that there weren’t any men in here, but I really want some men now,” she explained to Nicky today.

She added:

“Even though I don’t fancy Zac, I find myself looking at him.”

Nicky nodded. “Yeah, me too.”

“Man’s back, man’s body, man’s eyes, man’s smell,’ Emily sighed wistfully.

It has almost been a whole week and we have had no really bad arguments in the Big Brother house…surprising. This could all be about to change though as fiery Charley and Emily begin to express their dislike for each other. Watch the camps form!

In the bathroom last night Shabnam whispered, “That Emily’s a real snob.”

Charley quickly put a finger to her lips to say ’shush’ but added, “You’re not wrong though babes.”

Earlier in the day Emily disclosed to Ziggy that if she could nominate anyone she would choose Charley.
