George previously received a warning from the ITV show after mocking 27-year-old LGBTQ+ rights activist Sam Ashby.
This took place during a game of truth or dare in which he was asked his least favourite quality about his peers on the show.
George then imitated Sam's hand gestures and voice, a move that was shown to have upset Sam.
In addition this he reportedly received several other warnings which were not aired.
Though he previously received a warning George has been booted from the show for a separate incident.
Whilst he will appear in tonight’s episode his comments will reportedly not be aired by ITV.
An ITV spokesperson said in a statement to Metro: “Following repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour, George has been removed from the Big Brother House with immediate effect and will no longer participate in the programme.”
A longer statement provided to The Tab said: "George will appear in tonight’s episode of Big Brother but his comments will not be aired as they are contrary to broadcast standards.
“George was previously given several warnings for unacceptable language.
"Most were not broadcast as the language used was contrary to broadcast standards, but one was seen during Monday’s episode of Big Brother. Before entering the Big Brother House, the rules regarding language and behaviour are explained to all Housemates and they receive training in respect, dignity and inclusion.
"Friday’s eviction will continue as planned – details of which will be explained during tonight’s episode of Big Brother: Late & Live.”
George had also gone viral for a discussion around unhoused people amongst housemates in which he suggested ‘everyone is responsible for their own choices’ when discussing the prevalent use of drugs in homeless communities.
Whilst George initially presented himself as a Parish councillor it was later discovered by the internet that he was also an actor, having appeared on shows such as Heartstopper and the movie follow-up to Downton Abbey.
