Big Brother’s Charlotte shares real reason she quit show: ‘I was in severe pain’

Big Brother contestant Charlotte Nott has revealed the real reason she quit the show early, saying: “I was in severe, physical pain.”

The 18-year-old, whose arms and legs were amputated due to bacterial meningitis and septicaemia as a baby, decided to leave the ITV2 show on Day 14. Viewers watched as she said she had “been pushed to [her] ultimate limit”, before telling Big Brother she had decided to leave the house.

Speaking after the final, which saw Rochelle Rackham narrowly beat Twinks Burnett, Nott revealed there was more to it.

On TikTok Live, Nott said: “The night before I had left, I’d gone into the Diary Room and I was being a bit dramatic, but I was like, ‘I want to go to hospital.’ I was begging. I was basically like, ‘I want to go to hospital. I need an ambulance. My legs are hurting so much,’ because my knees were hurting, because I couldn’t wear my prosthetic legs.”

‘I’m not blaming production’

The house was then transformed into the “House Of Nothing”, with the furniture being taken away, as well as other things like housemates’ wardrobes and, briefly, even their voices.

Nott went on: “When we woke up, I was in extreme pain, and obviously then there was no furniture, nowhere to sit, nowhere comfortable.

“That’s why I was like, ‘No way, I’m done.'”

She continued: “I’m not blaming production or anything like that, because they’ve got a TV show to make.

“But I’m saying, just the way that it happened, that was why I left. It wasn’t a thing of like, ‘F*** this, I’m leaving.’

“I was like, I was in severe, physical pain.”

A Big Brother spokesperson said at the time of her exit: “Charlotte has made the decision to leave the Big Brother house and viewers will see her departure in tomorrow night’s show.”

Writing on Instagram after her exit, she said: “My biggest dream has been to go on Big Brother and I’ve done just that so I’m beyond happy.”

Charlotte makes another early exit

On Friday, the Big Brother housemates reunited for a special post-series chat, hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best.

The episode, which was filmed right after Thursday’s finale, saw the housemates – apart from Philip Regan – return to the house to reflect on the series.

However, midway through, it was revealed that Nott had left the sofa.

Odudu said after returning from an ad break: “Unfortunately, Charlotte is feeling a little bit under the weather and has had to step away.”
