Ken Morley Thrown Out of Celebrity Big Brother House
He's the second housemate to be removed
Former Coronation Street actor Ken Morley has become the second housemate to be removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The 71-year-old has been kicked out following his use of "unacceptable and offensive language" on the Channel 5 reality show.
A statement read: "Ken Morley has been removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house for using unacceptable and offensive language following his formal warning.
"Tuesday’s eviction is now cancelled and lines are now closed. Anyone who has already voted will be able to apply for a full refund and details will be available on the Big Brother website within 24 hours."
Ofcom has revealed that 233 viewers lodged complaints when Ken called his fellow contestant Alexander O'Neal a "n***o”.
A clearly angry O’Neal told the actor: "I'm just giving you some information - it's just 'black', we don't use 'n***o' any more."
Ken also riled his housemates and viewers alike with his use of sexual remarks, including the comment: “I don't really want to have a shower, but I'm going into the bathroom because I know it's a great place to look at women's a**es.”
When he urged Michelle Visage to have a “violent f***” with Calum Best, this caused Perez Hilton to have a heated argument with Ken (pictured above) – an incident Ken claimed to have no recollection of the following day.
Over the weekend, 34-year-old former Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson was ejected by Big Brother when he pulled Chloe Goodman’s bathrobe open while vomiting in the bathroom.
Hertfordshire police are now working with the show’s producers to investigate the circumstances behind incident.
