Tila Tequila has been removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house following the discovery she had previously posted comments showing her sympathising with Hitler.
Channel 5 had been placed under increasing pressure to eject the 33-year-old following reports that she posted an image of herself in an SS uniform hat and swastika armband to her Facebook page in 2013.
The Photoshopped image featured Tila posing in front of a backdrop featuring Auschwitz concentration camp.
Tila had also caused controversy with online postings in which she claimed to be ‘Hitler reborn’ and said that she ‘sympathised’ with the Nazi leader.
A spokesman for Channel 5 and Endemol told metro.co.uk they had been unaware of the postings before Tila entered the house.
