Kenneth escapes from Big Brother house

Kenneth followed through on his plot to escape the Big Brother house this morning.

"I came in here a legend, I’ll go out as one," he exclaimed, before escaping over the roof.

He was assisted by Marcus, who accompanied him onto the roof but returned to the house after Big Brother threatened him with expulsion.

The pair had spent an hour or so talking about Kenneth’s possible escape and checked out the fire exits in the house before Marcus gave him instructions on the best route to take once he got onto the roof.

While all the other housemates were sleeping, Kenneth told Marcus he had to go because his "heart wasn’t at peace" in the house.

Kenneth’s escape leaves this week’s eviction in question as the self-proclaimed "international playboy" was one of the favourites to be voted out by viewers.
