BB Jonathan announces plans to quit show

Big Brother contestant Jonathan reduced the normally boisterous housemates to silence and tears by pouring out his heart about his plans to quit the show.

Big Brother contestant Jonathan reduced the normally boisterous housemates to silence and tears by pouring out his heart about his plans to quit the show.

The 49-year-old Londoner told Big Brother he plans to sleep it over but will make his exit tomorrow morning.

The shock move came following a conversation in the Diary Room, in which Big Brother suggested to the self-made millionaire, who runs a media agency, that he discussed his feelings with fellow contestants.

Jonathan listed a number of items that he had put on hold or “risked” to join the house, adding: “I’ve been so reckless to do this”.

Jonathan continued that being in the house had made him realise that he’d been looking for acceptance.

He said: “I’m alright so I can stop doing this...No complaints. I’m very happy it’s taken me 30 years to get there.

“It’s not to do with the house... this journey is all about me... I don’t regret any of this.”

Jonathan also assured his housemates it was not to do with any of them.

He added: “I feel like I’ve won Big Brother because I’ve got something out of it.”

By the end of his heart to heart talk the usually noisy housemates both Carole and Charley were crying.

Jonathan describes himself on Big Brother’s official website as the “luckiest f***** on the planet” and a “lazy git”.

Model Billi, youth health worker Carole and raver Tracey are facing eviction from the Big Brother house this week.

Two-faced Charley, 21, escaped yet again, despite her own vote being discounted as punishment for discussing nominations.

Billi, 25, from Middlesex, received seven nominations, while Tracey, 37, and Carole, 53, received four each.

Bookies make Billi, a newcomer to the house whose votes were also discounted for discussing the nominations, favourite to get the boot on Friday.
