Celebrity Big Brother Summer 2018

Day 10: Rodrigo has been Removed

Channel 5 said that Rodrigo was removed from the house following a "further incident".   Rodrigo was put on a 'final warning' just 24 hours into the series after his use of the 'N word'. Big Brother announced: "After a further incident, Rodrigo has been removed from the Big Brother House and will not be returning. #CBB" However, Rodrigo claimed he wasn't removed but quit after he "demanded to leave" when pal Natalie Nunn was evicted in Friday night's live show. In an interview with The Sun, Rodrigo said: “I was not coping very well to be without my mobile phone and not being in contact with my family and friends. After Natalie left I felt very upset because she was the life and soul in the house and got very much misunderstood." He concluded: “I’m no longer interested in the show or anything to do with it. Simply because it wasn’t for me.” In Saturday's show, Rodrigo was shown entering the Diary Room before Big Brother cut back to the housemates. His chat with Big Brother was not aired. Now insiders have claimed that Rodrigo allegedly had an 'hysterical meltdown' in the Diary Room in scenes cut from the episode.   A source shared with the Daily Mail newspaper: "He started screaming and shouting in the Diary Room and became rather paranoid and hysterical. "Despite this happening late at night, producers rushed to the studio to talk to him and arranged for the on-call psychologist to speak to him via the Diary Room. The psychologist advised him to think twice about wanting to leave but his mind was made up and he demanded to leave right away." According to The Sun, bosses decided not to air the scenes due to "the outrageous nature of his actions" in the Diary Room. "They told him he was on a final warning when he used racist language and this was the final straw. They had to boot him out quickly" a source claimed. Housemates were not told of Rodrigo's reasons for exiting, with Big Brother simply announcing that he had left and would not be returning.
