5 most scandalous Celebrity Big Brother removals – from Tila Tequila’s pro-Hitler views to Jeremy Jackson’s groping
EVEN he mighty fall when it comes to being under the spotlight 24/7 – and these Celebrity Big Brother housemates were given the harshest reality of all when their actions saw them removed from the show.
Here’s the most scandalous removals from the CBB house, and why they were given the axe…
Tila Tequila – revealed to be a Nazi sympathizer
Controversial glamour model Tila was removed from the CBB house less than 48 hours after entering in summer 2015.
It had emerged that the Vietnamese-American was a Nazi sympathizer, with shocking comments on social media referring to Adolf Hitler as “a kind and sweet kid”.
A string of anti-Semitic and racist slurs also caused her online accounts to be suspended at different times.
In one shocking 2013 photoshoot, she even referred to herself as “Hitila” and posed in front of a concentration camp in a sexed up Nazi uniform.
After discussing the dictator and his beliefs in the house, she was immediately brought into the diary room and was told she could no longer participate.
Announcing the removal, bosses said: “Unfortunately, Channel 5 and Endemol did not know about the views and attitudes Tila had expressed in social media postings prior to her involvement in Celebrity Big Brother.”
“The views Tila had expressed, and permitted to remain uncorrected, are totally unacceptable and, accordingly, her continued involvement in the programme was untenable,” they added.
She lasted less than 48 hours in the house and was later seen performing a Nazi salute at an alt-right rally in Washington, which got her suspended from Twitter.
Ray J – mystery toothache
Easily the least shocking on the list, but one of the most mysterious, the rapper and sex tape co-star of Kim Kardashian was removed from the house after having "toothache".
He was actually an early favourite of the January 2017 series, with a cheeky chappy persona and a dedication to his wife that saw him sleep on the communal sofa after refusing to share his bed with anyone else.
So it came as a shock when the news broke that he had been removed from the house and wasn’t to return after less than a week in the compound.
His removal was later blamed on a crippling tooth pain so severe that he blacked out in agony, and bosses reportedly refused to put him back in.
However, he has suggested there was “more to it” than that, and reportedly offered to share “the truth” in exchange for £53,000 – which no one appeared willing to do.
He later threatened to sue the show after it was revealed he wouldn’t get his $1million payout.
Ken Morley – inappropriate racial and sexual comments
Coronation Street star Ken Morely appeared in the January 2015 series of the show – and was eventually removed due to a never-ending string of inappropriate comments.
Seemingly unaware of how offensive he was being, he was also completely unapologetic as he objectified the women in the house.
These included leering at the women and referring to them as having “some of the best looking a**es he’d ever seen” and how he would go into the bathroom to look at them as “it wouldn’t cost him a penny.”
Ken also later told Chloe Goodman that she had inadvertently encouraged Jeremy Jackson to pull open her robe and try and grope her for wearing it in front of him.
He was eventually removed for referring to Frank Bruno as a “n***o” during discussion.
On Loose Women shortly after his ejection, he apologised for the racist comment – calling it an “outdated” term that he didn’t mean to use as a term of offence.
However, he refused to say sorry for his comments on the women in the house.
Christopher Biggins – inappropriate comments
Christopher Biggins was the runaway favourite to win CBB 18 in August 2016 as one of the most loved entertainers in the industry.
However, fans were outraged when the star was removed with seemingly next to no explanation.
He had made some shady comments ahead of his removal, claiming that bisexual people were “the worst” as they were “people not wanting to admit they were gay”, and claimed that members of the LGBT community were using the term to appear “trendy”.
A spokesperson said at the time: “Big Brother has taken the decision to remove Christopher Biggins from the Celebrity Big Brother house.
“Since entering Big Brother, he has made a number of comments capable of causing great offence to housemates and the viewing public.
“Big Brother does not tolerate offensive language capable of causing widespread offence. “Christopher Biggins has left the house.”
It was later alleged that he was removed due to a “Nazi joke” made in front of Jewish co-star Katie Waissel.
Jeremy Jackson – tried to open Chloe Goodman’s dressing gown without her consent
In the same series Ken Morley was removed for comments, Baywatch star Jeremy went one step further and tried to pull away Chloe Goodman’s bathrobe while they were alone in the bathroom together.
Chloe was left in tears as a drunk Jeremy exposed her breast by pulling open her robe while she was helping him after he was sick.
MORE CBB NEWS
Cami-Li, Alicia Douvall and Nadia Sawalha jumped to her defence and tried to console the shocked star.
When taken to the diary room the next day, he apologised and said that he would “accept all the ramifications” for his behaviour, and as a result was removed.
Later that year, he was sent to prison after stabbing a woman during a street argument, and was sentenced to 270 days in jail.
