Dawn is booted out

Big Brother contestant Dawn has been ordered to leave the house after breaking one of the fundamental rules of the show.

She was called to the Diary Room on Thursday and was told that communication with the outside world was strictly forbidden.

She was then informed that she must leave the house immediately through the Diary Room.

Big Brother then told the remaining housemates that Dawn had found a way to communicate with the outside world.

Lea explained to the group that Dawn had devised a plan with her family and friends so that, if there was any bad press about her, she would receive a 'your sister is ill' message.

The secret message was delivered to Dawn yesterday, but the show's producers had sussed out her plan.
