Big Brother contestant Makosi Musambasi could be deported from the UK as immigration officials assess whether she has broken the terms of her visa.

Police and the immigration service questioned the Zimbabwean, 24, after she was initially stopped in a car for not wearing a seatbelt.

Ms Musambasi had permission to work in the UK as a cardiac nurse but left her job to enter the Big Brother house.

She came third in the reality show behind Anthony Hutton and Eugene Sully.

Operation

It is reported that Ms Musambasi reapplied for her visa after leaving the Big Brother house earlier this month.

Ms Musambasi, of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, was quizzed at Staines police station in Middlesex after she was pulled over on the M25 in Surrey while travelling as a passenger in her sister's car.

A spokesman for Surrey Police said: "Police stopped a car on the M25 near Stoke D'Abernon at 5pm yesterday on a driving matter.

"A 24-year-old Zimbabwean was then questioned by the immigration services which is now dealing with the matter."

Her sister, Veronica, said Ms Musambasi entered the show in the hope of flying their mother to South Africa for a life-saving operation on a tumour behind her eye.
