Former Big Brother contestant George Gilbert has disclosed the specific remarks that resulted in his ejection from the ITV programme, appearing on YouTube broadcasts on Monday evening to detail conversations he claims were never aired.
The 23-year-old parish councillor featured on YouTube, where he criticised what he termed "woke" culture before Mr Gilbert revealed his controversial statements.
Mr Gilbert claimed his removal followed a discussion about geopolitics in which he expressed belief in theories linking Israel to Jeffrey Epstein's private island.
He also stated that "the world's wisest men have antisemitic views in their writing, and there can't be smoke without fire", which he maintains prompted his departure from the reality television programme.

During the controversial conversation, Mr Gilbert told housemates he believed there was merit to scepticism about Jewish conspiracies at high levels of power.
He referenced Shakespeare, Henry Ford, Cicero, and Roald Dahl, arguing these "intellectual men" had included antisemitic elements in their writings, questioning whether this indicated "no smoke without fire".
The discussion occurred at 6:22pm during a conversation about conspiracy theories, according to Big Brother's statement to Mr Gilbert during his removal.
ITV bosses determined these comments breached broadcasting standards on multiple counts, despite Mr Gilbert's claim that he was attempting to address rising antisemitism in London.

The broadcaster has not publicly detailed the specific remarks, stating only that Mr Gilbert was removed for "repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour" following multiple warnings.
Mr Gilbert had received multiple warnings before his final removal, including one on his first night after discussing his belief that nobody is "intrinsically good or evil", using Adolf Hitler as an example.
He explained Hitler acted on false information about Jewish people, believing he was helping Germany, which he said producers interpreted as Holocaust justification.
A third-day warning followed comments about refusing to have children with Black women, stating he would feel he was "betraying my kind" and wanted to preserve his "gingerness" through procreation with someone similar-looking.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
The only broadcast incident showed Mr Gilbert imitating housemate Sam, an LGBTQ+ activist, using exaggerated gestures and voice during a truth or dare game, prompting Sam to later tell Big Brother the mockery reminded him of school bullying.
Following his fourth incident, Mr Gilbert was summoned to the diary room the next morning, expecting routine information about house challenges.
When the door locked and Big Brother began referencing his pre-entry conduct briefing, he realised the gravity of the situation.
He was instructed to exit through the opposite door, where production staff escorted him to a converted office unit for debriefing with show executives.

Mr Gilbert refused to apologise during the meeting and was eventually transported home by taxi after housemates packed his possessions.
In his YouTube video, he stated: "I didn't know what to do or what to think. From that moment on life would never be the same."
