Big Brother housemate George speaks out after being kicked out for ‘unacceptable’ language

Big Brother housemate George Gilbert has spoken out after being 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’.

Now, having been ousted from the house for ‘unacceptable language and behaviour’, George has spoken out.

‘As a flag bearer of freedom of speech I never hesitate to discuss and question any topic regardless of how contentious it may be,’ he began in a statement provided with Metro.

‘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.’

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.

George had been one of the three housemates who was set to face eviction via the public vote on Friday,

It will still go ahead with new details expected to be shared on tonight’s Big Brother: Late & Live.

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.
