Chanelle Hayes

Profession: Big Brother 8 Contestant
Place/Date of Birth: 11 November 2020
Associated with: Big Brother 8, Ziggy Lichman

The move follows days of deliberation, during which the Posh wannabe actually left the house, only to return minutes later.

Chanelle left a note for the housemates, which read "Sam, Mand, Brian, good luck, luv you, see you soon, Chan". She then took her suitcase into the diary room, without saying goodbye.

She was in the diary room for around half an hour when the door flashed from red to green and the housemates realised she was no longer in there.

Chanelle has had a string of rows with fellow housemate Ziggy over their on-off relationship.

The former boybander said he questioned their relationship "every day", adding: "It’s your character. You like the attention. You’re way over the top, a hypochondriac, you crave attention, not just from me, from everyone."

He added: "On a daily basis I’m depressed in here. And I’m afraid to say it has something to do with us. And it’s not you, it’s me and that’s it."

Stunned Chanelle shrieked: "Oh my God, you just said, ’It’s not you, it’s me’ on national TV. Oh my God, how embarrassing is that?"

"She couldn’t live with Ziggy, but she couldn’t live without him. I think she was quite jealous," mused Carole, wisely.

"Both of them have been getting more and more unhappy and lonely."

Unhappy Chanelle to leave BB house - July 29 2007
Victoria Beckham fan Chanelle Hayes has become the latest contestant to walk out of the Big Brother house.

The 19-year-old student from Wakefield, left the Channel 4 show after saying she was "not happy".

Her departure comes after Ziggy, with whom she had been having an on/off romance, ended the relationship.

In the early hours of this morning the former boyband member split up with Chanelle telling her: "It’s not you, it’s me."

Chanelle, who wants to be a professional Victoria Beckham look-a-like, left the house saying: "It’s not a goodbye, it’s a see you later."

So far the couple’s tempestuous relationship has dominated the show and drawn criticism from other contestants.

The 26-year-old ex model and the Posh Spice wannabe got together within days of him entering the house.

At first the lovebirds were tolerated by their fellow housemates but soon their trysts began to grate on everyone else’s nerves.

Chanelle announced her decision to the rest of the housemates, declaring through her tears: "I’m going home. I want to go home."

However all hope may not be lost as Chanelle was later called back to see the show’s psychologists with Channel 4’s website hinting that she may change her mind and return to the house.
