Overview
- ITV confirmed George Gilbert was removed with immediate effect for repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour, without airing the specific comments that triggered his exit.
- Earlier in the week, George received an on‑air Diary Room warning after mocking housemate Sam by mimicking his speech and using limp‑wrist gestures.
- Caroline Monk was called to the Diary Room and issued a formal warning after misgendering trans housemate Zelah during a spin‑the‑bottle exchange, with producers cautioning that a repeat could lead to removal.
- Zelah described the comment as hurtful in his Diary Room reflections, and a follow‑up clip on companion show Late & Live showed Caroline apologising and the pair discussing the impact.
- Viewers have urged tougher sanctions and clarity over unaired footage, while some outlets reported claims that George’s unseen remark was antisemitic, which ITV has not confirmed.
