Details have been released as to what 'racist slur' Emily Parr said to get kicked off Big Brother this morning.

According to 24dash Emily called fellow housemate Charley "nigger" while dancing with her in the living room.

A Channel 4 spokesman said she was heard to say: "Are you pushing it out you nigger?"

The images were not broadcast as part of E4's live Big Brother feed, but will be shown on tonight's Big Brother highlights show.

Here's Channel 4's statement:
"Emily immediately made clear that she had not intended to offend and that the comment had been meant as a joke. In discussing what she had said, Charley and Nicky agreed that they were not personally offended, although both did express shock at the language she had used. In the ensuing discussion, Emily acknowledged that she should have been more careful with her words"

"The comment was not screened as part of the 'as live' streaming on E4 and was immediately reported up to senior production staff at Brighter Pictures, the Endemol UK subsidiary that produces the show. In consultation with senior executives at Channel 4, the decision was taken to remove Emily from the house on the grounds that she had broken the rules governing contestant behaviour" the statement continues.

Soon we'll wonder what Big Brother was like without racism...
