Leo, having been refused a supply of clean underpants by Big Brother, started beating a two-way mirror before grabbing a broom, prising a wall open, and making his escape. The incident was not shown on E4 or the internet live feed.
It is understood that Leo's actions provoked crisis talks among show producers. There was some confusion between 2pm and 2:30pm as to the status of the voting lines; for a short time, voting was suspended but Channel 4 reinstated the voting lines for Carole and Dirk shortly before 2:30pm.
In a short statement, Channel 4 said: "Big Brother can confirm that Leo has left the Celebrity Big Brother house.
"The housemates have been told that he will not be returning to the house.
"Leo's voting line has now been closed.
"Viewers can still vote to evict either Dirk or Carol [sic] in tonight's show."
