Big Brother housemate George kicked out of house over ‘unacceptable language and behaviour’
He is still expected to appear in tonight's episode.
Big Brother housemate George Gilbert has been kicked off the show.
The 23-year-old parish councillor from Essex signed up to Big Brother ‘to meet people from different walks of life and to get the opportunity to chew the fat with them’.
Prior to appearing on the show, he’s also featured in the Downtown Abbey movie, The Essex Serpent, and Netflix’s Heartstopper, as well as EastEnders.
An ITV spokesperson confirmed the news of his exit in a statement to Metro, sharing: ‘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 is understood he will appear in tonight’s episode of Big Brother but his comments will not be aired as they are contrary to broadcast standards.

He had previously been given several warnings for unacceptable language. Although most were not aired, one was seen during Monday night’s episode of the series.
During a game of truth or dare, he was asked to give the qualities of each of his peers that he didn’t like.
He then imitated the hand gestures and voice of 27-year-old Zumba instructor, singer and LGBTQ+ rights activist Sam Ashby, who became visibly emotional over the incident, later telling Big Brother that he felt mocked ‘as if [he has] some kind of disability’.
He also explained that the laughter that followed from the other male housemates reminded him of homophobic abuse he faced at school.
The following night, George was handed a verbal warning for discriminatory behaviour.
