'Big Brother' contestant Keeley has broken her ankle and may have to quit, show bosses have said.
The housemate is being treated in hospital and will need an operation to mend the fracture caused as she tackled a task in the Channel 4 show.
Bosses decided yesterday to axe this week's eviction after the programme suffered the double blow of Keeley's injury and Caoimhe quitting the show.
Travel agent Keeley had to leave the house for treatment following a nasty fall during the weekly "save and replace" task in which nominated housemates take part.
Keeley had been dressed as a spider and was trying to climb out of a giant bath for her task when she suffered her injury. At first she was treated on the spot but her injuries were more severe than first thought and she was later taken to hospital. She will spend at least two more days in hospital and it is not clear whether she will be able to return to the show.
A statement from Channel 4 said: "Keeley has fractured her ankle and is in hospital receiving treatment.
"She will remain in hospital for a couple of days as she needs an operation to mend the fracture.
"Together, Keeley and 'Big Brother' producers will discuss whether she will return to the show once she is feeling better. We all wish her a speedy recovery."
This week's nominations on the Channel 4 show were cancelled following the setbacks.
