Big Brother fans call for housemate's removal over homophobic and racist past

Big Brother fans have called for kickboxing housemate Andrew Tate to be removed from the house over past racist and homophobic comments.

According to Digital Spy, Tate used offensive slurs on social media and in one tweet called Cheryl Fernandez-Versini a “w*g socket”.

Other tweets include insulting US rapper Drake, who “looks like he has down syndrome.”

And another read, “They are teaching gay issues to 7-year-old kids. BY LAW. A pure homosexual can not reproduce, so they need your children for new partners. OK.”

Every single girl will sleep with you for money. They just have different prices.

A Channel 5 spokesperson addressed the tweets and said: “Big Brother does not condone any kind of racist or homophobic behaviour in the House. If offensive comments of that sort are made in the House, Big Brother will deal with them appropriately and in accordance with its long-standing protocols.”

But Andrew’s brother Tristan has jumped to his sibling’s defence, implying that Andrew cannot be racist because he’s mixed race himself.

I hope they kick Andrew out for being racist. It will be hilarious. #mixedrace #bbuk #blackdad @Cobratate pic.twitter.com/6hAxYaYvnr

And then explaining that the kick-boxer is “just ‘playing” on the show.

#BBUK #BBandrew is just “playing” to get out of the crappy others house. Once he is in he won’t give a fuck. Trust me. I know him a bit.

And what are Channel 5’s protocols?

Well, last year Tila Tequila was removed from the house for comments she made before the show even started, after claiming that Hitler wasn’t a bad person and dressing in Nazi gear while standing in front of the Auschwitz death camp, so watch this space…
