Celebrity Big Brother UK contestant Ray J rushed to hospital

Cape Town – Reality star Ray J is across the pond competing in Celebrity Big Brother UK.

The R&B singer was reportedly promised a $1m pay cheque to appear in the reality show.

However, his participation has come to an abrupt end after he was forced to leave the house for a dental emergency.

According to TMZ Ray was in extreme pain and producers initially ignored his complaints. They eventually got him help when the rest of the housemates refused to participate in tasks. 

After receiving medical attention from a dentist on set his condition however worsened.

Before he was escorted to hospital he passed out. 

Ray's dental woes include a abscessed tooth, a cracked filling in another tooth, and a severe gum issue.

In a twist it seems that the star has reportedly been kicked out of the show.

During a FaceTime call with TMZ he said, “What’s sad is I can’t do the show anymore, they won’t let me back in the house and it’s not fair to me."

He further revealed that he is going to the dentist to have his teeth fixed.

Meanwhile, UK fans have come out in full support for Ray to return to the house.
