Dennis has become the second housemate to be booted from the Big Brother house for “unacceptable” behaviour.

As we reported earlier today, Dennis became involved in an argument with other housemates in the early hours of the morning, during which he spat in Mohamed's face.

E4's live streaming was suspended as BB sought to break-up the the argument.

After sending the housemates to separate bedrooms, Dennis and Mohamed were called separately to the diary room to discuss the incident.

After reviewing footage of 'spit-gate', a decision was made to remove Dennis from the house.

A Channel 4 spokeswoman said: "Spitting in someone's face is seriously offensive and Mohamed was understandably upset.

"Big Brother has very clear rules about offensive behaviour. Like all housemates Dennis was clearly informed before entering the house that he faced eviction if he acted in an unacceptable manner."

Tonight's eviction vote - involving Mohamed and Sylvia - will go ahead as planned.
