Claire King was considered a popular housemate in the show, but she has reportedly fallen ill and had no choice but to get out of the Big Brother house in order to have herself checked.

Whether the 51-year old TV personality will be returning to the Celebrity Big Brother house hasn't yet been confirmed as the production team itself wasn't sure about the matter.

Based on reports by a UK media outlet, Claire King had been complaining about feeling ill and under the weather. Due to this, she had to be taken out of the Big Brother house. The actress was then sent to a nearby medical facility to be checked.

Before she left the house, Claire King allegedly claimed that she could possibly be evicted from the house. The actress was said to have even jokingly described the situation as a 'win-win situation', saying that if she gets out of the house, she can eat steak.

Representatives of the network that runs Celebrity Big Brother released a statement saying that the actress needed to leave the house in order for her to be looked after by doctors.

Sam Faiers, who also joined the Celebrity Big Brother program, was also taken out of the house last January after he complained of being sick. He was then diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, but later returned to the house.

Another case was that of Kimberly Kisselovich who joined the program on the last season. She has also gone out of the house and was later said to have had an ectopic pregnancy.
