Big Brother 2016: Andrew Tate Is REMOVED From The House

It’s been a week since this year’s Big Brother housemates moved into their new humble abode (with launch night kicking off on June 7), and what a first week it’s been.

From Victoria Jensen walking out, to Marco Pierre White Jnr and Laura Carter getting x-rated, Big Brother has seen it all - Or so we thought, until producers made the decision to REMOVE Andrew Tate from the house.

On Monday (June 13), Big Brother announced that, days after he’d won his way into the main house after initially entering as an ‘Other’, Andrew was being kicked out.

Channel 5 said: “Due to information Channel 5 and ‘Big Brother’ became aware of today, Andrew Tate has been removed from the ‘Big Brother’ house.”

Andrew then took to Facebook to post a now-deleted video, in which he alleged that his ‘new plan’ was to blame for his removal: “I wanted you all to know I’m no longer in the ‘Big Brother’ house, I’m afraid. I had a new plan that I wanted to do - which was much better than calling them all snakes.

“I had an amazing masterplan, and the producers of the show were worried that if I did such an amazing plan and got caught, that it was going to kick off in a big way… They decided that my new plan was just too risky, and I had to leave. So, enjoy the show without me.”

Andrew later took to Twitter, writing: “If I stayed too many people would have walked out cause my plans are too good and they were afraid I would ruin the show [sic]”.

He added: “THEY WERE AFRAID MY NEW PLANS WOULD UPSET EVERYONE SO MUCH THEY WOULD LEAVE OR **TRY** AND FIGHT ME. I WAS TOO GOOD AT THE GAME [sic]”, before claiming that a video ‘to be released by The Sun’ shows him ‘hitting a girl with a belt’, but that the paper ‘edited out ALL of the laughing and joking’.

Andrew also tweeted: “They edited a video of me to make me look bad when im not. they’re afraid of my MASTERPLAN. [sic]”

Andrew hints that this video is the alleged reason Big Brother gave him the boot.

In a later statement, Channel 5 said: “Channel 5 and Big Brother have become aware that Andrew Tate has posted a statement on Facebook about the circumstances of his departure from the Big Brother House. What Andrew says in that statement is completely false.

“Andrew was not removed because of his actions inside the House. Nor was he removed for tweets allegedly posted by him prior to his entering the House.

“Andrew was removed because of information which came to light today.”

Some viewers had previously pushed for Andrew to be evicted after homophobic and racist comments he made in the past on social media came to light.
