Ray J has quit Celebrity Big Brother after just one week in the house due to a tooth abscess.

The American musician, best known for his relationship with Kim Kardashian, left the show on Tuesday after suffering ‘unbearable pain’.

Currently in hospital and receiving treatment, the 35-year-old has claimed that CBB bosses ignored his requests for medical treatment, saying that he ‘blacked out’ en route to hospital.

In a statement published on Twitter on Tuesday night, Big Brother producers wrote:

“Ray J has left the Celebrity Big Brother house and you are no longer able to vote for him. Those who have cast votes will be entitled to a refund.

“Details will be published on the Celebrity big Brother website tomorrow.”

According to TMZ, Ray J started suffering the tooth pain three days ago and complained to fellow housemates and producers.

Despite leaving the house, the hip hop star hinted that he was keen to re-join the show in a series of re-tweets on Tuesday evening.

The star, or someone on his team, posted messgaes from fans calling for him to be put back in the house.

“Everyone hashtag #CBB #CBBUK and help us petition to get the homie @rayj back in the house!!! They can't kick him off for medical emergency,” wrote one person.

“If its only cause he needed a doctor I insist @bbuk #cbb2017 let @RayJ back in. So much potential #dotherightthing,” wrote another.

Ray J had a bust-up with fellow housemate Angie Best during Tuesday’s show after she called him a ‘f****** slime.”

The star, who was up for eviction this week, was reportedly paid a staggering $1 million to take part in the show.
