Celebrity Big Brother: Omarosa returns to house after seeking medical treatment

UPDATED, 8:22 p.m. ET Omarosa is back in the house.

After seeking treatment for her asthma, CBS has confirmed that the former White House aide was back in the game as of Saturday afternoon.

CBS released this statement: “Omarosa has returned to the Celebrity Big Brother house after receiving medical attention last night and today for an asthma attack. This development will be addressed on the Sunday night broadcast.”

“Is she somewhere overnight somewhere?” Mathews asks. “How is that possible?”

Winokur then reminds Mathews of Christmas Abbott, last season’s player who left the house because of a leg injury. She returned to the house in a cast but voted from the hospital.

“It doesn’t seem fair,” Winokur says.

In another development, it seems that Meeta World Peace briefly left the house, prompting Winokur to say, “He escaped. That’s not like the rules. You can’t like walk out the exit door and win $250,000.”

Mathews and Winokur then revel in their performance at the HOH competition.

“Ross, all I’m going to say is, this is hilarious that you and I knocked out those people,” Winokur said. “I put her [Omarosa] in the hospital! She’s gonna be okay.”

On Friday, mixed martial artist Chuck Liddell was evicted from the house. For more about his short experience in the house, click here, and for host Julie Chen’s reaction to the first episodes, click here.
