But despite losing two housemates in as many days, a spokesperson confirmed to The Sun Online on Wednesday night that the first live eviction would be going ahead as planned on Friday.

Ray J was up for eviction, but his departure now leaves the public to vote for either Stacy Francis, James Cosmo, Speidi, Austin Armacost and Angie Best.

The news comes just hours after Brandon, 49, quit after just a week in the house after revealing he 'wasn't feeling himself'.

He said in a statement: "I was incredibly honoured to have the experience it was wonderful, but I wasn’t feeling myself.

"May the best man or woman win."

A Channel 5 spokeswoman confirmed the news revealing more information would be revealed on tonight's episode of Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side.

It comes just days after Brandon was removed from the house for medical tests after complaining of chest pains.

At the time a source said: "Brandon wasn't well at all. It was pretty serious. He immediately saw the medics that were on standby at the house."

"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 told TMZ.
