Who quit Big Brother and when will viewers see it?
According to Digital Spy, Charlotte — an 18-year-old from Cowley, Oxford — elected to leave the house of her own accord. Metro.co.uk and The Sun identified her as student Charlotte Nott.
A Big Brother spokesperson told outlets: "Charlotte has made the decision to leave the Big Brother house and viewers will see her departure in tomorrow night's show. We thank her for being a fantastic housemate." The on-screen exit is set for Sunday's (27 September) episode on ITV2 and ITVX.

Why did Charlotte decide to leave the house?
A TV source told The Sun the timing followed "an absolutely crazy few days with the tennis balls, then chicken gate, then the eviction." The source said Charlotte "woke up this morning and decided the experience just wasn't for her, and she'd rather be at home with family," adding she was "so grateful for the chance" but chose to go home.
The Sun also reported she had told housemates she felt a bit lost amid the madness. No further official reason beyond her own decision has been published by the show.
How does her exit fit this chaotic Big Brother season?
Her premature exit comes merely 24 hours after a live eviction that saw 29-year-old Chelsey Amari pack her bags after receiving more votes than fellow nominee Pauline. Fans on social media voiced shock and sadness, with some saying Charlotte could have gone far and others noting she had not seemed to be enjoying the experience.
Charlotte, who lost her hands and feet aged three to meningitis, won attention from launch night when her heel snapped and she removed her prosthetic legs with help from co-host Will Best, later saying it may have been "fate." She was also widely supported after co-star Rochelle Rackham said she had felt a "fear" of people with "no arms" and later described herself as ashamed. Big Brother continues on ITV2 and streams on ITVX.
