The news follows an explosive episode on Saturday night in which Carter was seen barging his way out of the house after a row – only to return by a side door minutes later.

The argument started when new housemate Isabelle Warburton made fun of Carter’s focus on his ex-fiancee, saying he never stopped talking about her.

He stormed towards the garden door and left, but was seen being shown back to the diary room a short time afterwards.

Channel 5 said the events leading up to Carter’s departure will be shown in Sunday night’s instalment.
