Charlotte Nott to leave Big Brother, ITV says

ITV says Big Brother housemate Charlotte Nott has decided to leave the reality series, with her departure scheduled to appear in the September 27 episode. The announcement came a day after Chelsey was evicted following a public vote, making Charlotte’s exit the second departure from the house in quick succession. An ITV spokesperson said Charlotte had made the decision to leave and thanked her for being a housemate. The broadcaster said viewers would see her departure in the episode airing Sunday. The supplied reports do not establish that the episode had aired or show what explanation Charlotte gave on-screen. Charlotte, 18, is from Oxford and is the youngest contestant in this season’s house. The reports describe her as a quadruple amputee; she lost the lower parts of her arms and legs after contracting meningitis as a child. Her departure follows less than two weeks in the house, although reports differ on the precise count of days. The reason for Charlotte’s decision has not been directly stated by her in the available reporting. An unnamed television source, quoted in two reports, said she felt the experience was not for her and wanted to be home with her family.
