Big Brother Season 27: Meet George Gilbert — Age, Nationality, and the Real Reason He Was Removed

Big Brother Season 27 just lost its biggest instigator. George Gilbert has been removed from the house, and no, this wasn’t a standard eviction. Producers kicked him out after what they called repeated unacceptable language and behavior. If you’ve been watching since week one, you’re not shocked — he’s been framed as the season’s villain from the jump, and very much leaned into it.

Who is George Gilbert, really?

• He’s 23, British, and the youngest parish councillor in his area, serving in Braintree, Essex.
• He’s also a working actor — supporting bits in Downton Abbey, The Essex Serpent, Everything Now — plus ad campaigns for Adidas. Yes, parish councillor by day, period drama extra by night. It’s a combo.
• Politically right-leaning, outspoken, and very open about not going into the house to make friends.
• He said his plan for the prize money was to get his parents mortgage-free.
• Early on, he came off witty and confident, with humor that flirted with the line. Later episodes pushed that line until it snapped, and the clashes with housemates stacked up.

"I applied to meet people from different walks of life and to get the opportunity to chew the fat with them. I think you’ve got to try new things, and Big Brother looks like a laugh. I think I’d be good in there so I might as well throw my name into the hat."

So why was he removed?

This wasn’t a voluntary exit. ITV made it a disciplinary call after warnings, confirming that George was ejected for repeated unacceptable language and behavior. In other words: not a storyline twist — a compliance issue.

"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."

Producers are also tweaking the edit. He will still appear in tonight’s episode, but with reduced screen time and his comments cut. That’s the part of reality TV people rarely talk about: if something crosses the line, it doesn’t just get punished in-house — it gets erased on air.

As for what crossed the line, The Sun reports he’d already been formally warned for remarks that offended other contestants. The reported final straw: mocking fellow housemate Sam, using gestures and speech patterns that were taken as derogatory and humiliating. Live-feed watchers clocked the fallout, but you won’t see the actual exchange in the episode — production kept the footage off broadcast for compliance reasons. The show is reiterating its zero-tolerance stance on bullying or discriminatory behavior.

Whether you see George as a misunderstood performer or a walking cautionary tale, his removal definitely reshapes the house dynamics. Big Brother Season 27 continues tonight at 9 pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
