Alex's Early BB Exit

Alexandra De-GaleIf you were looking forward to Friday to see who got the Big Brother boot...

You won't have to wait any longer.

Big Brother has spoken and decided to send someone home early.

That person is Alexandra De-Gale.

Channel 4 has said that Alex, who was facing the public vote this Friday alongside Mario Marconi, has allegedly engaged in threatening behaviour towards her fellow housemates.

During a conversation with housemate Darnell Swallow she's believed to have made references about punishment from her "ganster friends" outside the house.

Transcripts from the conversation say Alex told Darnell: "I'm not throwing water at anyone. It's bigger than that...personal offence is never forgotten, do you know what I mean?"

The head of E4 and Big Brother at Channel 4, Angela Jain, has said in a statement: "Alex's comments will be widely interpreted as having been intended to intimidate.

"Other housemates have said they found her comments to be threatening and we believe that is the reasonable conclusion for them to have reached given the way Alex has behaved previously.

"Big Brother has very clear rules about housemates' conduct and that kind of behaviour is not acceptable.

"She has already been spoken to twice about her behaviour and, like all housemates, was clearly informed before entering the house that she faced eviction if she acted in an unacceptable manner."

As a result of Alex's early exit, this Friday's eviction has been cancelled.

We'll keep you posted on any more developments.
