Brian Belo leaves the Big Brother House

Brian Belo has left the Big Brother house.

Channel 5 confirmed today that the ‘legendary’ housemate – who entered the show a week and a half ago with Nikki Grahame and Helen Wood – has chosen to leave.

Further details have not yet been confirmed, but his exit will feature on tonight’s highlights show.

However, a Big Brother spokesperson did tell Digital Spy: “He left of his own accord.”

Belo – who won Big Brother 8 – had a difficult time during his return to the show and had previously threatened to quit in protest at the behaviour of Wood and his fellow Bunker housemate Marc O’Neill.

Big Brother continues tonight at 10pm on Channel 5.
