Claire King will not be returning to the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house.

The former 'Emmerdale' actress was removed from the Channel 5 reality series house on Sunday (31.08.14) and taken to hospital after suffering from a mystery illness, and it's now been confirmed she won't be returning.

A statement on the 'Big Brother' website reads: "On Sunday, Claire had to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House for medical reasons.

"Unfortunately, Claire will not be returning to the House.

"Her housemates have been informed of this news. Everyone here at Big Brother wishes Claire all the best, and hopes she gets well soon."

The 51-year-old star first confessed she wasn't feeling well during a conversation with fellow housemate and boxer Audley Harrison on Sunday morning.

She said: "I should really be getting this sorted, but you've got to keep going."

Meanwhile, Claire's former housemate Lauren Goodger has come under fire for climbing into bed with married housemate and former 'Strictly Come Dancing' professional James Jordan.

Speaking about her antics on the show, James - who is married to Strictly's Ola Jordan - said: "She tried to jump into bed with me last night in her G-string and I was f***ing straight out the door."

The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star has been nominated for eviction tonight (03.09.14) alongside Kellie Maloney, Frenchy, Ricci Guarnaccio, Gary Busey and Stephanie Pratt.
