George has been removed from the Big Brother house
Big Brother has confirmed that George has been removed from the Big Brother House with immediate effect following repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour.
In a statement, a Big Brother spokesperson said:
“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 will still appear in tonight’s episode of Big Brother, however his comments will not be broadcast as they are contrary to broadcast standards.
It’s understood that George had previously been issued with several warnings over his conduct in the House. While most incidents were not shown due to the nature of the language used, one warning was broadcast during Monday’s episode.
Before entering the House, all Housemates are made aware of the show’s strict rules on language and behaviour, and receive training in respect, dignity and inclusion.
Despite George’s removal, Friday’s live eviction will go ahead as planned, with further details set to be revealed during Big Brother: Late & Live tonight on ITV2 and ITVX.
Update:-
Big Brother calls George to the Diary Room.
Big Brother says, “Hello George… George, before you entered the Big Brother House the rules regarding unacceptable and offensive language and behaviour were explained to you.”
George says, “Yeah. What was it?”
Big Brother says, “Big Brother has warned you on several separate occasions about language, including issuing you with a formal warning. Despite this, at 6:22pm, in a conversation about conspiracy theories, the words you used broke the rules regarding unacceptable and offensive language on multiple occasions.”
“George, Big Brother thinks that your repeated use of offensive language in the house including during yesterday’s conversation is unacceptable. Big Brother cannot permit you to use language in a manner which is likely to be considered offensive by Housemates or the viewing public.”
George responds, “Understood.”
Big Brother continues, “Despite the prior warnings and the opportunities we have given you to adjust your language in the House, you have persisted in using offensive language. And as a result, Big Brother has no choice other than to remove you from the House.”
“George, is there anything that you would like to say?”
George says, “I always want to question any theory, any movement, I just like to, I just want to know the truth about things and I’m sorry.”
“So I’m really gutted but if that’s what you want to do then I’m sorry it’s ended like this.”
