Emily kicked out of house [press reports updated - 8 June 2007]

Emily kicked out of house
EMILY has this morning sensationally been kicked out of the Big Brother house after using racist language.
The blonde was removed from the Big Brother house in the early hours of this morning after dancing with Charley and asking: "Are you pushing it out you n*****?"
The comment was not screened and, although she immediately said that she did not intend to offend, Channel 4 and Endemol executives made the decision to remove her.
In a statement read to the house by Lesley, at 9.45 this morning, BB blamed unacceptable behaviour including "offences on the grounds of race."
The housemates were told that "Emily has broken fundamental rules" and has "behaved in a way that Big Brother considers unacceptable."
Channel 4 are eager to avoid another race row after their criticism following Shilpa Shetty's treatment in the house.
Angela Jain, who heads the Big Brother commissioning team at Channel 4, said: "I think people watching the show tonight will agree that Emily spoke carelessly rather than maliciously .
"Certainly Charley and Nicky, the two housemates most directly involved in the conversation with her, seem to accept that she did.
"She understands why her involvement in Big Brother has had to come an end and she very much regrets what she said.
"In the wake of Celebrity Big Brother we must consider the potential offence to viewers regardless of Emily's intentions and her housemates' response."
The incident will be screened on the Channel 4 show tonight.
Tomorrow's planned eviction has been cancelled.
