The German version of the reality show Big Brother has seen the early exit of one contestant, Horst, a 41 year old tattoo artist from Otzberg after a gay couple, Carlos and Harald entered the house.

Saying he didn’t want to have deal with living with people who had a serious medical condition (both Carlos and Harald are HIV positive), Horst told fellow contestants that it was not a HIV issue, and that he would have felt the same, and come to the same decision for any serious medical condition such as cancer.

Fellow competitors did attempt to get Horst to change his mind and stay but the tattoo artist made it clear that he had only come into the Big Brother house to have fun, and that the addition of the HIV couple, Carlos and Harald had acted to make it a much more serious issue.
