BREAKING: ITV Big Brother evicts George over ‘unacceptable language and behaviour’
Big Brother has given controversial star George the boot from the house due to “repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour”. The housemate had previously received a formal warning for his inappropriate language, leading to his eviction.
ITV released a statement, which read: “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.”
It’s been reported that while George will feature in tonight’s episode of Big Brother, his comments won’t be aired as they breach broadcast standards. Contestants were briefed on the rules regarding language and behaviour before entering the Big Brother house, receiving training in respect, dignity and inclusion.
Earlier in the week, George was warned about his behaviour after he mimicked housemate Sam during a game of Truth or Dare. Big Brother reprimanded him in the diary room, saying: “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 confirmed that he had apologised to Sam after making the comments, reports the Mirror.
It’s also reported that George received several warnings for inappropriate language, which were not aired due to broadcasting standards.
George was among the celebrities up for eviction, having received the most nominations alongside Elsa and George. In a twist, Richard also faced eviction after receiving the cursed eye.
Friday’s eviction is set to go ahead as scheduled, with more details to be revealed in tonight’s episode of Big Brother: Late and Live.
But George wasn’t the only one to receive a warning this week. Caroline was reprimanded after making a transphobic comment to fellow housemate Zelah.
After Nancy confessed she found Zelah the most attractive in the house, Caroline retorted: “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 summoned to the Diary Room and given a formal warning over her language.
