Emily is removed from Big Brother Emily is a drama student from Bristol Emily Parr has been removed from the Big Brother house for using a racially offensive word to another housemate. The 19-year-old from Bristol was taken out of the compound at 0330 BST and was forbidden from having any further contact with the 11 other contestants.
This week's eviction vote has been suspended, in which Emily was nominated along with Shabnam Paryani.
A spokeswoman for Channel 4 said that the decision had been taken because "such behaviour won't be tolerated".
Regret
Channel 4 said the offensive term was not broadcast in the programme during a live stream, and was immediately reported to senior production staff.
Emily said: "Are you pushing it out, you ******?" to Charley Uchea, while they were dancing in the living room on Wednesday evening.
In consultation with broadcast executives, the decision was taken to remove Emily from the house because she had breached rules governing contestant behaviour.
Charley Uchea is the cousin of Manchester United star Kieran Richardson
This includes causing serious offence based on the grounds of race.
Angela Jain, head of the Big Brother commissioning team, said: "The word ****** is clearly racially offensive and there was no justification for its use."
She added: "She [Emily] understands why her involvement has come to an end and she very much regrets what she said.
"I think people watching the show tonight will agree that Emily spoke carelessly rather than maliciously - certainly Charley and Nicky, the two housemates most directly involved in the conversation with her, seemed to accept that she did."
Ms Jain said that the decision had been taken in the wake of the alleged racist bullying of Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.
The broadcaster was censured by media watchdog Ofcom and ordered to make a series of on-air apologies for the incident which prompted a flood of complaints.

In full: Transcript of Emily's racial slur
DS:BB presents, in full, the transcript of the conversation between Emily, Charley and Nicky in which Emily uttered a racial slur leading to her eviction from the house.

The transcript, which is provisional and provided by Channel 4, now follows.

Emily: (referring to Charley dancing/pushing her hips forward) You pushing it out you ******.
Nicky: (shocked laughter) Em, I can't believe you said that.
Charley: You are in trouble.
Emily: Don't make a big thing out of it then. I was joking.
Charley: I know you were... but that's some serious shit, sorry.
Emily: Why?
Charley: Oh my god. I'm not even saying it.
Nicky: Just don't talk about it anymore.
Emily: I was joking
Charley: Do you know how many viewers would watch that?
Nicky: Okay, don't make a big deal out of it.
Charley: Fancy you saying that. I can't believe you said that.
Emily: Somebody has already used that word in this house.
Charley: No way. (Pause) Yeah, me. I'm a ******.

Nicky laughs.

Charley: I am one. Fancy you saying it. I know maybe you see it in a rap song. Maybe you and your friends sit there saying it.
Emily: I'm friendly with plenty of black people.
Nicky: And you call them ******s?
Emily: Yeah and they call me ******s. They call me wiggers as well.
Nicky: I'm quite shocked.
Charley: I'm ****ing in shock.
Emily: It's not a big deal though is it?
Charley: Not for us it ain't. **** me.

Now then, which premiership footballer classified as "black" will be boning this biach before the summer's out? Amongst all the calls to cancel big brother, notice as the ratings sky rocket, Wouldn't be surprised if she's a plant, an agent provocateur of sorts. Also I don't think anyone in the Country is actually surprised at this, Behind a majority of doors in Britain this is the kind of langauge they use about as.

True @ blackpower

But still. In light of GoodyGate that is an incredibly stupid thing for her to to stay

Whether it was said with racial malice or not is neither here nor there

To be honest i think its plain racism. Out of everyone in the house, emily is least qualified to claim ignorance, she knows what she is doing and its bourne out of a disrespect for african people. After shipwrecked & the shilpa incident....

I wonder if channel 4 will actually broadcast the comment tonight?

I would air more towards ignrance than racism if that transcript is anything to go by

But like I said,, its neither here nor there. She said it, she has to go

I think Channel 4 should make a programme where a team of undercover reporters go into the workplace, Schools, universities and streets andthey will see real racism in Britain today.

A different view coming up: I don't think that kicking this girl off the show was the right thing to do, personally i would rather C4 use this occurance as a learning point to highlight the negativity of the word. I suspect that Emily who got kicked off doesn't know why it happened, Charley definately doesn't have a clue and i suspect the wider audience will instead of seeing this as a positive will instead view this as political correctness gone mad..

So i would argue that the whole thing is counter productive,....

Can you really see that happening?

Lets be honest @ kunjufu

Until rappers stop using the word you are gonna cut slack to any person who uses it, regardless of their race. Apologies if I'm making the wrong assumption

Not saying that is wrong but when I heard what she said I was anticipating your response

I can see your point but BB and Education is possibly the biggest oxymoron in society at the moment
