BIG Brother housemate Andrew Tate has been removed from the house
The 29-year-old kickboxer has been asked to leave the house immediately
A statement from the Channel 5 reality show said: "Due to information Channel 5 and became aware of today, Andrew Tate has been removed from the Big Brother House."
It’s not yet known why he has been removed but there were calls last week from angry fans for him to leave after a series of racial and homophobic tweets were found on his Twitter account.
In a tweet posted in 2012 he wrote: "Cheryl Cole is a massive w** socket."
He also posted: "@ChiaraRomano89 Chiara Romano and Cheryl Cole are both massive w** sockets."
This isn’t the first time he used social media to make racially motivated statements.
Another tweet posted from his account says: "F**K running the final if I wanted to see black people running id just threaten them with jobs."
He also in one tweet: "The racist lady on the train is right."
In another twitter rant he targeted gay people: “They are teaching gay issues to 7-yr old kids. BY LAW. A pure homosexual cannot reproduce, so they need your children for new partners. OK."

Not only has he tweeted racist and homophobic remarks, he has also posted messages that are offensive to women, with one saying: “Every single girl will sleep with you for money. They just have different prices.”
He also wrote: “When a girls entire night is in her snapchat story, rest assured her life long quest for attention had undoubtedly turned her into a hoe.
Andrew's brother Tristan leapt to his siblings defence and said he said that he can’t be racist as their father is black.
He tweeted: "#Bbandew exposed. He tweeted a black joke in 2012 hes racist. We both are. Google our dad "Emory Tate" he was a Klan member. #bbuk #rip #kkk."
He also said: "Andrew is well aware he won't win. He knows it's public vote and knows the public won't like him. Don't get it wrong. BBUK BigBrother.”.
Meanwhile, on tonight’s show he had a rant in Diary Room about his
“Others” task, he said:
“Ryan is not loyal to the cause
“Ryan is of no use to me or the others
“We have one soldier here capable of doing anything and that is me.”
