Big Brother announced this weekend that new housemate Ellis Hillon had been removed from the house following theirinvestigation into 'racist' tweets she'd posted before entering.
The 20-year-old was called to Big Brother's Diary Room in last night's episode (16th Sept) and was presented with the tweets on a piece of paper.
Big Brother then asked her to confirm whether she'd written the tweets, to which she replied, "Yeah I did, years ago... but yeah."
She was then told, "Big Brother does not tolerate offensive language. As a result we will be removing you immediately."
Ellie responded by muttering "F--- sake", and shaking her head.

When asked if she had anything to add, Ellie said, "No. Apart from that I'm sorry. I don't want to see anyone. I just want to go home."
Big Brother have confirmed that Ellie's stay has been the shortest of any housemate in the history of the show. She lasted 19 hours in the Borehamwood Bungalow.
The tweet, which circulated online after the show's launch on Friday, was posted in 2014, and reads: "Oh f--- aye its 9/11!! RIP to everyone who died n f--- they smelly p--- terrorist b-------!!!"
Several other tweets that are said to have been from her account allegedly used the N-word. These tweets have now been deleted.
Big Brother confirmed that it launched an investigation into the tweets soon after they began circulating, telling The Sun, "We are currently investigating the authenticity of a number of historic social media posts."
This comes after the news that this series of Big Brother would be the last, after the production company behind it and CBB confirmed that Channel 5 hadn't renewed their contract.
Big Brother continues tonight at 9PM on Channel 5.
