Celebrity Big Brother's Jeremy Jackson pictured leaving UK hours after being removed from house for 'groping Chloe Goodman'

Jeremy Jackson was spotted looking downcast as he puffed on a cigarette on his way to the airport today, just hours after being removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The former Baywatch star was told he must leave the show when Chloe, who had gone to his aid as he threw up in a bathroom in last night's episode, complained that he had touched her inappropriately.

Spotted leaving his London hotel following the shock exit, Jeremy was dressed smartly in black trousers, a loose grey shirt and a black coat, as he towed his silver suitcase behind him.

He was on his way to the airport to catch a flight back to the US.



Wearing huge sunglasses, the actor looked downcast as he kept his head lowered and was surrounded by his team for the outing.

He was seen getting into a silver car waiting nearby and avoided looking at the cameras throughout the brief appearance.

Channel 5 bosses pushed last night's episode back to the later time of 10pm so the edited scenes, described as some of the most explosive in Celebrity Big Brother history, could be shown.





After a heavy night of drinking, Jackson, began vomiting. But when Chloe – star of MTV’s Ex on the Beach – went to check on him, it is claimed that he assaulted her

When Big Brother called Jeremy into the diary room shortly after, he attempted to explain his motives - insisting his actions were not aggressive.

"It seemed like flirtation to me," Jeremy attempted to explain to Big Brother, after claiming his behaviour wasn't 'groping'.

"I ended up vomiting, while I was doing that, Chloe insisted on coming in and helping me," he said.

"Potentially because of the alcoholic beverages, and potentially out of innocence, curiosity, I was silly enough or bold enough or dumb enough however to lift her robe as she was leaning in my face. It seemed like flirtation to me."

When Big Brother asked if he thought his actions were acceptable, he replied: "When you say it like that it sounds disgusting. It wasn't a lift of a robe but... Yes. It's not acceptable. And I made a mistake and I'm now in boiling water for it."

He added: "Believe it or not I'm just being silly. I'm too emotionally wounded to really even engage in any relationship type flirtation. I'm just not that guy."

"I know my heart, I know my intentions, and no matter how much I explain it, it doesn't matter," he said as he began to cry.

Speaking to Jeremy, Big Brother then said: "The rules of unacceptable behaviour were explained to you. Last night while alone in the toilet you deliberately opened Chloe's dressing gown."

Asked whether he had anything to say, the actor replied: "Besides apologising and insisting it was not a 'ripping open' or aggressive move, no there is nothing. I accept all ramifications."

Big Brother then made it official, saying: "As a result of your actions, BB has no choice but to remove you from the house. You must now leave via the door to your left."

A CBB source said: “She made a complaint immediately. The decision was taken that Jeremy should be removed.” Sources say Chloe is still considering whether she should report the incident to the police.
