Dawn leaves the house as others awake

Dawn has made good her promise to leave the Big Brother house, taking her final stroll into the Diary Room at midday.

It had not been the most sociable of mornings to send her on her way, since she was the only housemate to rise before midday. She spent her final two hours pacing around the bedroom, exercising and dancing to herself before her roommates finally awoke.

"Just be nice to anyone who comes in," Dawn told the others as she was called to the Diary Room and said farewell. "You take care of yourself," Richard called after her, as Nikki thanked her for "everything".

Once she had gone, the housemates wasted little time in discussing her departure. "I don't even understand why she's going," said Grace.
