The parish councillor had previously been given several warnings about his language on the show, one of which featured in Monday\u2019s episode (6 October).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing 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,\u201d said a spokesperson.<\/p>\n<p>Gilbert will still appear in Wednesday\u2019s episode of Big Brother, but his comments will not be aired due to them violating broadcasting standards. <\/p>\n<p>He had previously received several warnings for his unacceptable language, which appeared to mock fellow housemate Sam Ashby. A tearful Ashby later told Big Brother that Gilbert\u2019s impression was \u201crude\u201d and that it felt like he was \u201cback at school\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Gilbert was summoned to the Diary Room due to his language towards Ashby, where Big Brother told him: \u201cGeorge, before you entered the Big Brother House, the rules regarding unacceptable language and behaviour were explained to you. Big Brother needs to talk to you about a conversation at the dining table last night.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/georgemockssam.jpeg\"  loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"George Gilbert mocks Sam Ashby on the latest season of \u2018Big Brother\u2019\" class=\"sc-1mc30lb-0 ggpMaE inline-gallery-btn\"\/><\/p>\n<p>open image in gallery<\/p>\n<p>George Gilbert mocks Sam Ashby on the latest season of \u2018Big Brother\u2019 (ITV)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring a game of truth or dare, when asked about your least favourite qualities of other housemates, you said the following, \u2018Sam, um too\u2026,\u2019 you then went on to mimic Sam using both noises that mocked the way Sam talks and body language that included limp wrists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you understand how both your language and behaviour could be offensive to Sam, your housemates and the viewing public?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gilbert said that he had spoken to Ashby about his behaviour and had apologised to his fellow contestant. \u201cI don\u2019t want to make anyone feel like that, so I will be walking on eggshells around Sam from here on in,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Apple_TV_Plus.png\" width=\"112\" height=\"52\" alt=\"Apple TV+ logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-118zqaw-6 Ewzp\">Watch Apple TV+ free for 7 day<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-118zqaw-7 kxJQLw\">New subscribers only. \u00a39.99\/mo. after free trial.
