Big Brother 2010: Housemate Keeley needs operation on broken ankle and may have to quit show

Friday's eviction cancelled after her accident
Host Davina McCall is stranded in France
Big Brother contestant Keeley has broken her ankle and may have to quit, show bosses have announced.
The housemate is being treated in hospital and will need an operation to mend the fracture caused as she tackled a task in the Channel 4 show.
Bosses decided earlier today to axe this week's eviction after the programme suffered the double blow of Keeley's injury and Caoimhe quitting the show on Tuesday.
Distressed: Keeley grimaces and cries in pain as she waits for medical treatment for her broken ankle. She is now in hospital and needs an operation
The travel agent from Manchester had to leave the house on Tuesday for treatment following a nasty fall during the weekly 'save and replace' task in which nominated housemates take part.
Keeley had been dressed as a spider and was trying to climb out of a giant bath for her task when she suffered her injury.
After damaging her ankle, she was carried to the diary room by fellow contestants Dave and John James.
Painful: An ice pack is applied to Keeley's foot to try and get the swelling down. The travel agent may be forced to quit the programme, show bosses said
At first she was treated on the spot but her injuries were more severe than first thought and she was later taken to hospital, where she spent the night.
She will spend at least two more days in hospital and it is not clear whether she will be able to return to the show.
A statement from Channel 4 said: 'Keeley has fractured her ankle and is in hospital receiving treatment.
'She will remain in hospital for a couple of days as she needs an operation to mend the fracture.
'Together, Keeley and Big Brother producers will discuss whether she will return to the show once she is feeling better. We all wish her a speedy recovery.'
