George Gilbert was removed from the Big Brother house today after ‘unacceptable language and behaviour’ – and now sources can reveal the real reason he was kicked out
Earlier today, George Gilbert has been booted out of the Big Brother house due to ‘unacceptable language and behaviour’.
Fans were left wondering what George said. It has since been announced that he has been removed from the house over language which will not air on tonight’s show.
However, he was given several warnings by show bosses for his language during his time on the series. ITV has reported that George was previously given several warnings for unacceptable language.
But, most were not broadcast as the language used was contrary to broadcast standards, but one was seen during Monday’s episode of Big Brother. George will appear in tonight’s episode of Big Brother but his comments will not be aired as they are against broadcast standards.
Now it is revealed that he was kicked out of the house due to an antisemitic comment. Insiders revealed to The Sun that George left his fellow housemates aghast after making offensive remarks which could be construed as antisemitic, and was promptly summoned to the Diary Room and expelled from the house.
It’s understood that ITV will broadcast scenes featuring George on tonight’s episode but won’t air the comments that led to his dismissal from the show.
George has since spoken out about his eviction and stated: “As a flag bearer of freedom of speech I never hesitate to discuss and question any topic regardless of how contentious it may be.”
“Sadly, the boundaries of what is deemed offensive are subjective and I evidently went too far this time by crossing their line one too many times. It is a shame that specific debate could not be had and that it has had to end like this. Infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it in for me.
“Everyone was absolutely disgusted,” a source revealed to The Sun. “Nobody could believe what he said – he was clearly out to shock people.”
This comes after George was given several warnings by the show off air over his controversial language, according to reports. Before entering the Big Brother House, the rules regarding language and behaviour are explained to all housemates and they receive training in respect, dignity and inclusion.
George was due to be up for eviction during Friday’s episode but the eviction will still go ahead despite him already leaving. He was given a formal warning earlier in the week for inappropriate language and now he has been evicted from the house.
In a statement, ITV told The Mirror : “Following repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour, George has been removed from the Big Brother House with immediate effect and will no longer participate in the programme.”
George received a warning over his behaviour earlier in the week after imitating housemate Sam during a game of Truth or Dare. He was told by Big Brother in the diary room: “At 11:26, during a game of Truth or Dare, when asked about your least favourite qualities of other Housemates, you said the following, ‘Sam, um too…’, you then went on to mimic Sam using both noises that mocked the way Sam talks and body language that included limp wrists.
“Do you understand how both your language and behaviour could be offensive to Sam, your Housemates and the viewing public?” George then said that he had apologised to Sam after making the comments.
George wasn’t the only one to receive a warning this week as Caroline received a warning after making a transphobic remark to fellow housemate Zelah.
After Nancy revealed that she found Zelah to be the most attractive in the house, Caroline said: “She’s a girl. No you’re not!” she then added: “But you haven’t got a willy. Is that really bad? But I was talking about…I’m so sorry Z. Is that bad? That was bad wasn’t it? Oh no, I’m dead now. Is that bad?” Caroline was called to the Diary Room and given a formal warning over her language.
Big Brother airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
