Celebrity Big Brother confirms Ray J will NOT return to the house as housemates react with shock to news
RAY J will NOT be allowed to return to the Celebrity Big Brother house, the show has confirmed.
Producers announced the news to the remaining housemates and confirmed he would not be returning leaving them in shock at the decision.
"This is Big Brother," the producer announced: "Ray J has left the Big Brother house and will not be returning."
"Oh s***!" said Calum Best as the housemates reacted with shock at the news.
"We love you Ray J!" shouted Jedward, adding to the chorus of disappointment that the American had left.
The rapper and reality star left the Channel 5 reality show compound on Tuesday after quitting in order to seek medical treatment, and now he is demanding producers let him back in.
He is even planning to drive himself back to the compound for face-to-face negotiations in order to get himself back into the house.
"I'm going to drive myself to the dentist and get my tooth fixed and then drive up to the house and try to get back in," he told TMZ.
"I'm ready to go back into the house and they won't let me back in and I'm really hurt by it," he added.
"What's sad is I can't do the show anymore, they won't let me back in the house and it's not fair to me," he added.
When asked if he would sue producers for not letting him back in, Ray J said: "Put me back in the house and let me work. This isn't right. It's wrong bro, it's wrong."
TMZ claims the former sex tape partner of Kim Kardashian was in so much pain he had to beg to leave the house and while leaving to go to the hospital he blacked out.
The website is reporting that he is still in the hospital with severe tooth issues and won't be returning to the Channel 5 reality show.
Channel 5 confirmed to Sun Online that Ray J had left the house and said more details would be forthcoming.
The rapper became one of the highest ever paid housemates with his deal worth a reported £810,000 but whether he collects the full fee after leaving the house remains to be seen.
On Tuesday night's highlights episode of the show, Ray J was seen arguing with Angie Best after she branded him a 'f***ing slime'.
It begun when Angie was given the task of running a 'January Detox Programme' for the housemates she believes are the unhealthiest.
After choosing James C, Coleen, Ray J, Brandon and Calum, Angie pointed out their worst habits in front of their co-stars.
Embarking on a health mission with a yoga session shortly after, Angie eventually allowed Ray J to have a cigarette break
When he asked her if he can combine vaping with smoking, Angie hit back and said: "You push and push, you’re such a f***ing slime, you always get your own way.”
However, annoyed with the outburst, Ray J shot back: "I pay for everything I get.”
When Jasmine Waltz overheard the chat, she warned Angie's son Calum that she's been "hard" on the US star, and he decided to step in.
Finding his mum shortly after, Calum told her she does not need to go “in” on people, “like you would a client outside of here.”
Angie eventually agreed to calm down - but the arguments weren't through there.
Footage then showed Coleen Nolan in the Diary Room, as she said although she “admires her passion,” being on Angie’s Detox makes her turn into a “petulant five year old.”
Admitting it's stressed Calum out too, Coleen added: “Because I wanna punch his mum’s face in.”
It comes days after Coleen first joked she'd like to "smash Angie's face in" when she dished out some advice to the TV star in a clip aired on CBB's Bit on the Side.
Spotting Coleen smoking, Angie, 64, admitted it could be the reason for some of her "negativity" - and it earned a VERY surprise comeback from Coleen.
As Angie told her: "You smoke. You're putting all that toxic poison into your body and you wonder why your body can't get into a positive mode."
It prompted Coleen to joke: "I'm going to smash your face in, in a moment."
A smiling Coleen then added: "I mean I appreciate your concern but you're getting right on my t**s."
Laughing at the 'row', Angie admitted: "I'm a nag. I nag about this stuff."
The pair smiled throughout, clearly enjoying sharing the jokey banter in front of their shocked housemates.
Rylan Clark-Neal shared the clip on his spin-off show, with the full debate no doubt set to air on tonight's show.
