Big Brother has pulled controversial star George out of the house over “repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour”. The housemate 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.”

The Mirror understands that while George will appear in tonight’s episode of Big Brother, his comments will not be aired on the show as they are contrary to broadcast standards. Contestants were told the rules regarding language and behaviour ahead of entering the Big Brother house, receiving training in respect, dignity and inclusion.

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.

However, The Mirror understands that George was given several warnings for unacceptable language which were not broadcast as they were contrary to broadcast standards.

George was one of the stars who was up for eviction, having received the most nominations alongside Elsa and George. Meanwhile, Richard was up for eviction after receiving the cursed eye in a twist.

Friday’s eviction is set to continue as planned, with more details being revealed in tonight’s episode of Big Brother: Late & Live.

George wasn’t the only one to receive a warning this week, with Caroline receiving 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.
