Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Former Big Brother winner Brian Belo has quit the show just over a week after he rejoined the programme with two other former housemates.
Belo, who triumphed in 2007 when he picked up almost two thirds of the votes in the final, was brought back earlier this month with fellow ex-contestants Nikki Grahame and winner Helen Wood.
A Channel 5 spokesman confirmed Belo had left the house of his own accord and said more details would be revealed on tonight's show.
Belo, who hit the headlines in his first stint in the show when he asked his fellow housemates "Who's Shakespeare?", appeared in Harry Hill's TV Burp after making his name on Big Brother and performed Shakespeare scenes in Stratford-upon-Avon in 2008.
Speaking before he entered the house a second time, he described it as "like a home away from home".
He said: "I need to remember to just enjoy it, I'm more grown up and I've scratched up on my literature this time, so I know who Shakespeare is.
"I have been watching the Australian Big Brother and the guy that won it was 27, which is the same age as me, and I wondered what would it be like for me to be in there in my mid-20s."
