It has been discovered that Andrew has also tweeted several other offensive messages from his social media account.

“F**K running the final if I wanted to see black people running id just threaten them with jobs,” he wrote in one tasteless tweet.

Later adding his support for a woman that he described as “racist”, tweeting: “The racist lady on the train is right.”

After facing accusations of racism, his response at the time was that he ‘hates white and black people the same.’

Now that the messages have resurfaced, with many reporting him, Andrew’s brother Tristan has come forward to defend him, saying he and Andrew are mixed race and therefore cannot be racist.

However, Andrew has also used the platform to share comments of a homophobic nature.

He wrote in one tweet: “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.”

In response to the situation, a Big Brother spokesperson has clarified: "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, in accordance with its long-standing protocols.“

Last summer, Tila Tequila was famously booted out of the Celebrity Big Brother house after only one night, since it was discovered that she had made shocking comments about Hitler before the start of the series.

With Andrew’s position in jeopardy, tune in to Big Brother tonight at 9pm on Channel 5 to follow all of the latest developments.
