"Due to ill health Claire has had to leave the Big Brother house to receive medical attention," the show's representative said in a press statement.

It is not yet known if King will eventually return to the house or if her health crisis will necessitate a full departure from Celebrity Big Brother.

Her exit comes amid the announcement that Gary Busey, Frenchy, Stephanie Pratt, Kellie Maloney, Ricci Guarnaccio and Lauren Goodger will face the next public vote.

The past 4 Big Brother series somebody has got ill. All women. It's like a pattern. Maybe to do with wearing makeup 24 hours a day.

I don't want her to come back. Hope she gets better x

no one thought she was really in there anyway so no one will miss her ! i do hope she is fine though

Hope she is okay and gets the chance to return to the house.

I hope she gets well soon,

I reckon it is that basic food diet.
It must flare up IBS etc.

Too many fags...

..Kellie? She's not sure.

RIP

I hope she's not been in contact with the outside world!! & even if she's better I think she should have to stay out since it's been 48 hours now. I think there should be a rule that if they're gone for more than 24 hours than they'll have to leave for good.

is she still there?

Is she still on the planet?

Don't ya just love how CH5 keeps their viewers informed - its a joke they could at least update us all
