Kellie Maloney evicted from ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house
By Josh Haggis
Kellie Maloney has become the fifth housemate to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The retired boxing manager and promoter – formerly known as Frank Maloney – was one of two housemates to be voted off last night (September 6), the other being US reality star Stephanie Pratt.
As host Emma Willis spoke to the house, the crowd was heard chanting “Get Kellie out!” and Maloney – at one point the favourite to win the Channel 5 reality contest – was met with boos as she exited.
“The first week I wanted to run out but I grew in confidence and they helped me through it,” Maloney told Willis during her exit interview.
“I’ve come out feeling completely fulfilled. I had buried a lot of Frank but I want to keep a bit of him. I’ve learned a lot about myself and learned to accept myself.”
Maloney, who is transitioning from male to female, attracted criticism recently when she said same-sex couples shouldn’t raise children – read more here.
