Overview

• ITV confirmed Gilbert was removed from the house with immediate effect and will not continue in the series.
• Gilbert had received a formal warning after mocking housemate Sam Ashby’s voice and gestures during a game, which left Sam in tears.
• Multiple additional warnings were issued off air, and the comments that triggered his exit will not be broadcast due to standards rules.
• The show closed the existing public vote that included Gilbert; a new vote will open featuring Cameron B, Elsa and Richard, with previous ballots voided.
• Gilbert will still appear in the next episode without the offending material, and the week’s eviction plans remain in place.
