Fans call for Ryan Ruckledge to be removed from Big Brother house after transphobic tweets to past winner Luke Anderson
BB13 Winner Luke called the current contestant out on Twitter for his rude remark
BIG Brother has been dealt ANOTHER blow after it was revealed that Ryan Ruckledge has been the latest housemate to send offensive tweets.
The 24-year-old, who was booted off of X Factor last year after getting drunk during the judge’s houses, sent a series of transphobic and racist messages to the 2012 Big Brother winner, Luke Anderson.
The public was made aware of the tweet by Luke himself, who reposted it and wrote: “There you have it… What an absolute disgusting imbecile”
Ryan’s message read: “Luke A i really hope you make the most of your m**** while you’ve got it coz we all no you gonna buy urself a black **** with your winnings!”
"In previous shows housemates using derogatory racial terms had been ejected immediately. Transphobic hate speech is no different. There is a growing LGBT community who will be offended.”
Luke won the heart of the nation and became the first trans-man to win Big Brother despite getting nominations throughout his time on the show.
He was the second transgender contestant to win after Nadia Amala won the show back in BB4.
Luke has also appealed for the opportunity to confront Ryan over his tweets on Big Brother’s late-night spin-off show, Bit on the Side.
A representative for Big Brother has said: "Big Brother does not condone any offensive behaviour in the House.
"If offensive comments of that sort are made in the house, Big Brother will deal with them appropriately, in accordance with its long-standing protocols."
The person currently running Ryan’s Twitter account has since deleted the message.
Ryan has become the THIRD set of housemates to get caught up in a discrimination row, only EIGHT days since the show officially began.
Natalie Rowe and Jayne Connery got into a spat in the ‘Others’ house after Natalie overheard Jayne talk about her mother’s abusive ‘black carer’.
Natalie, who used to run a-list escort agency Black Beauties, was quick to jump into the discussion and said: "F***ing weird conversation. We're not aliens. Jesus!"
Jayne later defended her actions to The Others and said: “There is one thing I ain't, I ain't a f***ing racist.
“I've got a f***ing black carer and I love her and she gave me my f***ing life back."
Andrew Tate, who has since been removed from the show after a scandalous video obtained by The Sun saw him whipping a woman with a belt, also caused controversy with tweets sent to singer Cheryl.
Posted in 2012, he dubbed her a ‘w** socket* for being married to black football player, Ashley Cole.
The Sun Online has contacted Ryan’s representatives for comment.
