Alexander O'Neal has chosen to leave the Celebrity Big Brother house after he was given a formal warning from producers for using a homophobic insult to describe gay celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.
In the kitchen, Perez was seen blowing kisses to the singer before following him into the lounge.
O'Neal responded: "I know what you want but you're not going to get it ... you're going to sit there with that silly ass faggot look on your face."
At that stage, Michelle Visage intervened to tell Alexander that this was not okay and he should not make any further insulting remarks.
Called into the diary room, show bosses went on to give Alexander a formal warning for unacceptable language.
Apologising for his behaviour, O'Neal blamed his uncomfortable feeling in the house.
He has now become the third housemate to leave the process not by way of a public vote.
Jeremy Jackson and Ken Morley were ejected earlier in the series for unacceptable behaviour and language.
