Feminist writer Germaine Greer launched a scathing attack on 'Celebrity Big Brother' tonight, comparing its techniques to a fascist prison and suggesting it might be responsible for encouraging playground bullying.
She left the reality TV show earlier today after just five days, describing the Big Brother house as "a bit of a shambles".
She was also critical of her fellow contestants, bemoaning the taunting of racing pundit John McCririck, saying that Lisa I'Anson was no Greta Garbo and describing model Caprice as sweet, innocent and badly-educated.
Germaine also said that introducing Brigitte Nielsen's former mother-in-law Jackie Stallone to the show was completely irresponsible.
A statement from Channel 4 earlier confirmed that Germaine had decided to leave.
"Today at midday, she went to the Diary Room and asked Big Brother to return her suitcase, so she could pack her belongings," the statement concluded.
Greer then left the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house at 12.45pm.
