It's official, there is now one less Palmer sister in the Big Brother House as Jem has followed Mark in becoming the second housemate to walk out of Big Brother this year.

After days of weighing up her options, and many talks with Big Brother in the diary room, Jem decided that her time was up and made the choice to leave the House. She admitted to her fellow housemates that telling Big Brother she wanted to leave was the hardest thing she's ever had to do, but in the end she couldn't cope with how her presence was affecting Faye's Big Brother experience and the mood of the House in general.

As expected, Faye took the news particularly hard and was in floods of tears as Jem explained her reasons for leaving to her in the bedroom. Younger sister Faye sobbed that she couldn't cope with all of this drama and said that she is seriously considering leaving the House herself.

Alex, Jay and Louise all told Jem that they didn't want her to leave but that they respected her decision and would definitely meet up with her in the outside world.  Aaron took his usual approach to situations of this nature, remaining silent and sitting in isolation in the garden away from it all
