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.The Celebrity Big Brother contestants were reduced to five tonight after the surprise eviction of two housemates.
Calum Best, Keith Chegwin, Katie Hopkins, Michelle Visage and Katie Price will compete to be named the winner of the show after Manchester-born pop singer Kavana and celebrity blogger Perez Hilton were voted off.
Hilton, who has clashed with fellow housemates, told host Emma Willis: “I am so happy to be out of the house. I dreamed last night that I was leaving today, and every single person said 'You're not going', but I said 'My dream was so real' - my hope got me out.”
Asked if he had any regrets, he said: “Yes, I regret entering the house, because it has been a traumatic experience for me, I've suffered so much pain in that house, I know what I experienced in that house.”
He denied that Hopkins had been his rival in the show.
“She was not my rival, my rival was my brain, and me trying to keep my sanity.”
He thanked show organisers for letting him see a doctor, who prescribed sleeping pills for him.
Viewers are voting for the winner of the series, who will be crowned on Friday.
