"The 23-year-old parish councillor was issued several other warnings for unacceptable language during his time in the house, but the content of what he said was not aired due to British broadcasting regulations. On Monday (6 October), viewers did see George being warned about his actions during a game of spin the bottle, during which he mocked the voice and physicalities of queer housemates Sam, making him cry."
"As a flag bearer of freedom of speech I never hesitate to discuss and question any topic regardless of how contentious it may be," he said, the publication reports. "Sadly, the boundaries of what is deemed offensive are subjective and I evidently went too far this time by crossing their line one too many times. It is a shame that specific debate could not be had and that it has had to end like this. Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me."
George, a 23-year-old parish councillor and occasional actor, was removed from the Big Brother house on 8 October after repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour. He received several warnings; some offending comments were not aired because they breached British broadcasting regulations. During a spin-the-bottle game he mocked the voice and physicalities of queer housemate Sam, causing Sam to cry. His removal followed remarks deemed antisemitic that prompted immediate ejection. George described himself as a 'flag bearer of freedom of speech' and acknowledged having crossed subjective boundaries.
