Another housemate has quit the troubled Big Brother house. Posh George Askew, 19, walked after deciding that the idea of fame would be "too much" for him.

He said in the Diary Room: "I wanted to break the stereotypical public school view... and I think I've achieved that."

He added: "My reason for leaving the Big Brother house is the thought of fame and how I would like to continue my private life - and fame is too much for me."

Exercise scientist and yoga fanatic Dawn Blake was thrown out last week for rule breaking.

The 38-year-old was unceremoniously dumped from the show after being warned for secretly communicating with the outside world.

Her departure followed that of anguished Shahbaz, 37, a flamboyant Glaswegian who became a house pariah for his difficult behaviour before leaving the show.

The only person to leave on schedule has been part-time care worker Bonnie Holt, 20, who was evicted following the first viewer vote.
