Singer quits Celebrity BB house | |
(about 4 hours later) | |
Ex-Sugababe Mutya Buena has walked out of the Celebrity Big Brother house just hours after Tina Malone was evicted. | |
Mother-of-one Buena, 23, left after saying she did not want to spend another day away from her family. | |
She had been nominated for eviction, along with outspoken Liverpudlian Malone and had threatened to go anyway if she were not picked. | |
But the "Shameless" actress was ousted by the public after receiving 39% of the vote. | |
Family reasons | |
The pair, along with TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson and former Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton, had faced the chop. | |
But when they found out Malone was leaving, Buena said: "No way am I staying a day longer, I've already told them I don't care what I lose. | |
"If they want to fight me they can. I'm not unpacking my suitcase and that's it. I'm going." | |
Afterwards she went to the Diary Room and said she had been thinking about leaving for several days. | |
Buena, who has a three-year-old daughter Tahlia-Maya, left at 2338 GMT on Friday. | |
She said: Thank you for the experience and making me realise what is important.Malone was described as "intimidating" by one housemate | |
"I'm after a good night's sleep and want to go home." | |
Malone, who plays Mimi Maguire in the Channel 4 drama, screamed "Yes!" when her name was announced. | |
The 46-year-old told presenter Davina McCall the experience had been "cathartic" and she had been brought in to play the role of the "fat bird". | |
Malone said she was "incredibly relieved" that she was out and admitted she was fond of using strong language - something she gained a reputation for in the house. | Malone said she was "incredibly relieved" that she was out and admitted she was fond of using strong language - something she gained a reputation for in the house. |
