VOTING to eliminate a housemate on Big Brother this week has been suspended in the wake of the sad exit of Josh Moore following the sudden death of his older brother, Toby.

Producers have moved swiftly to unite the remaining contestants who were told of the tragedy by the devastated 28-year-old in an off-camera meeting inside the house this morning.

Series psychologist Dr Sarah Angel was rushed to the Gold Coast production to help housemates affected by news of the death and departure of one of the show's favourites.

Tonight's episode will not feature any footage of Moore being told the news by his parents, Carolyn and Terry, who were allowed into the Captain's Quarters to tell their son about his only sibling's death, at the age 32 from a suspected heart attack.

The aspiring musician stayed with his parents at a Gold Coast hotel overnight, but informed network and production staff this morning he planned to quit the series and return home to Adelaide to support his family at this sad time.


BB host Sonia Kruger offered her condolences: "I am devastated to hear of the sad loss of Josh's brother. Along with the rest of the Big Brother crew my heart goes out to Josh, his parents Terry and Carolyn and their family. I wish them all the strength during this difficult time.''

The competition has also been halted, with eviction nominees Sam, Angie and Estelle, to stay in the house and live nominations to resume from next Monday night. BB will run extended house coverage on Sunday in lieu of an elimination and a tribute to Josh's time in the series.

Proceeds from voting so far this week will be donated to the Salvation Army, as a bequest welcomed by the Moore Family.

Live video updates have also been paused while housemates deal with the immediate shock, with producers also cancelling the "divided house" task so the remaining eight contestants could come together and support each other.

A statement on the Big Brother website read: "in light of recent events, Live Updates have been temporarily paused to give Josh time to say goodbye to the Housemates in private and allow them to process the news.

The Southern Star production team and the Nine Network wish to express their sympathy to the family and ask the fans of Big Brother and the media to allow them privacy at this time. Further announcements about the Big Brother shows will come later today.''
