Big Brother News Flash! Emily Kicked out - time for a new bet

Big Brother has been hit by another racism incident - but this time they acted quickly and booted out posh girl Emily

Emily was already one of the favourites for eviction, but this premature eviction has put Shabnam into clear favourtism

But Paddy Power are going onen step further. They're refunding all bets made on Emily to be the first eviction - all bets on Shabnam will stand, but if she isn't the first evicted, Paddy's will refund all bets placed on her before 3am this morning - effectively giving a bunch of punters some freebie bets.

The incident is expected to be aired tonight and Paddy Power have reacted quickly to a flurry of betting activity, including odds that Big Brother could be scrapped before the end of the series - those odds were slashed from 10/1 to 9/2.
