Jem quits Big Brother

Jem Palmer has walked out of the 'Big Brother' house.

The 28-year-old wrestler - who first appeared on the Channel 5 reality show halfway through the competition, joining her younger sister Faye in the infamous house - made the decision to leave the series this afternoon, claiming she was stopping her sibling from having fun.

Telling Big Brother her plans, she said: "I want Faye to go back to having fun."

This comes after Jem - who faced eviction on Friday alongside Aaron - admitted she didn't know how much longer she could go on living with Aaron, after the pair became involved in a series of clashes over his relationship with Faye.

She told fellow housemate Jay: "How would you feel if you had to live with someone you didn't like?"

After telling Faye she was going to leave the show in a sisterly heart-to-heart, both sisters ended up crying in the bedroom.

Faye said: "You do what you want to do."

Jem added: "I know it will hurt you if I go."

The blonde eventually left the house at 3.30pm yesterday.

It is not yet known how Jem's departure will affect this week's eviction, as Aaron is now the only housemate facing the public vote.
