Celebrity Big Brother contestant Alexander O'Neal has decided to leave the house.

A Channel 5 spokesperson refused to confirm whether Alexander's shock exit was sparked by his huge bust up with Perez Hilton, shown in last night's episode.

The celebrity blogger was goading the chart star, who caused outrage when he angrily called Perez a "f****t a**".

O'Neal was called to the diary room over his offensive language, where Big Brother warned if it happened again he would be removed.

A Big Brother spokesperson simply said: "Alexander O'Neal has chosen to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House."

The telly house exploded with rage after Alexander lost his cool.

Rising to the US drama queen, he jibed: "I know what you want but you're not going to get it.

"You're going to sit there with that silly f****t a** look on your face."

Michelle Visage - who is an LGBT icon after her work on RuPaul's Drag Race – immediately told him the term was completely unacceptable, but also berated Perez for provoking the row.

In the diary room Alexander apologised for his language and admitted it was "unacceptable".

He explained that because of Perez's behaviour, he "did not feel comfortable in any corner of the house."

Channel 5 can not yet confim if Alexander's exit will alter next week's planned eviction.

Despite the departure not yet being televised, CBB viewers have been quick to side with Alexander and many are condemning Perez for taunting him until he felt he had to leave.

Ex-CBB star Nicola McLean said: "I think it's disgusting that because of Perez's [behaviour] Alexander has left."

Another fan tweeted: "There will be nobody left (except Perez) in the BB house at this rate.

"Sad that Alexander was made to feel he had to leave #cbb #getperezout".

It's the third time a housemate has left in an unscheduled exit – Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson was removed by Big Brother after he opened Chloe Goodman's robe, exposing her breasts without her consent.

Ken Morley was told to leave after he refused to adhere to a warning about racist and sexist language.
