Ray J, one of the highest-paid guests in Celebrity Big Brother history, has left the reality TV show.
The singer and actor was reportedly being paid $1m (more than £820,000) plus expenses to appear on the programme, but has lasted just one week in the house.

There was a mixed reaction to his exit, which was initially shrouded in mystery.
While he earned himself some fans during his time on the show, some had grown tired of his tendency to…well…grow tired.
oh no! Who we will watch sleep all day now? 😴😴
