The other bit from the News of the World on line Re: Emma

Loudmouth evicted after police probe

MOUTHY housemate Emma Greenwood was booted out of the Big Brother House last night as it emerged cops had quizzed her over her part in Thursday's drunken riot.



CALM DOWN: Dan talks to Emma

Officers grilled her about the violent confrontation with vile Victor Ebuwa, 23, which unfolded hours after she re-entered the TV house from a bedsit.

Channel 4 says no other housemates were questioned but detectives have watched hours of video evidence and might still want to quiz them.

A Hertfordshire Police spokesman said last night: "A 20-year-old woman from Oldham was spoken to by police in relation to incidents that occurred in the Big Brother house last Wednesday.

"She was not under arrest and has not been charged with any offences." But Big Brother chiefs decided to give her the bullet anyway after their psychologists had interviewed her.

A spokesman said last night: "We don't think Emma is any more to blame for the events of Wednesday night than anyone else, but we believe this is the best course of action to ensure the welfare and safety of all the housemates, including Emma.

Risk

"The house is calm as all the other housemates appear to be working through their issues, but we were concerned that Emma's return might have increased the risk of a repeat incident.

"Emma has accepted our decision.

"We fully co-operated with the police inquiry. No other housemates were interviewed. Who is to say that the police won't want to talk to other housemates when they come out of the house?

"Police did look at videos of the show and also spoke to producers. We gave them every assistance. They were able to view all the footage from Big Brother."

Emma had been locked in the bedsit away from other housemates since the bust-up, but a show insider yesterday revealed she had been spirited away from the house every evening.

He said: "She was so unstable that she was sleeping in the studio rather than the bedsit because we were worried about her being cooped up in there for so long."

Emma was last night re-united with her mum Karen who travelled from Manchester to a London hotel to comfort her daughter.

Emma has accepted our decision.

As if she had any choice

The question is, why was she selected?

Also, to be consistant with the "welfare of housemates" (yeah right), etc, I would suggest they extract Shell. Her panic attack indicates that there is a higher degree of fragility there and a repeat performance could occur. Panic attacks can be lethal, a boy at my old school in Tottington High school died from one brought on by the pressure of exams.

Perhaps as some have hinted elswhere, it is time to call it a day and end BB5 early.
