George Gilbert, a former contestant on this year's Big Brother, has claimed he was fired from a job as a school cleaner after being removed from the show for offensive language. The 32-year-old parish councillor from Essex said he was told not to return to the position after just two shifts.
Gilbert was ejected from the ITV reality programme for what producers described as “repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour”. He had previously been given a formal warning after doing a homophobic impression of fellow housemate Sam Ashby, and was later removed for making anti-semitic remarks.
Speaking on Andre Walker's TalkTV show, Gilbert alleged that a teacher contacted the agency he was working for and said: “We don’t want George back on the school premises because of his offensive language used in Big Brother.” He added: “I got sacked, Andre. Cancelled from the show for some b******* reason, pardon my French, and now I can’t even be a b***** school cleaner.”
Gilbert, who frequently clashed with housemates over his support for Nigel Farage and Reform, also posted a clip of the interview on Instagram with the caption “I've been cancelled again”. He had earlier claimed on his YouTube channel that he received a verbal warning after describing Adolf Hitler as “misguided” and another for telling a housemate he did not want a child with a Black woman because “the gingerness would die a death”.
Big Brother 2025 concluded with Richard Storry, a 60-year-old composer and author, becoming the oldest winner in the show's history. Gilbert did not appear on the spin-off programme Big Brother: Late and Live after his exit.
