Big Brother's George Gilbert has been removed from the house following the 'repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour' towards Sam Ashby, from Skipton.
Sam Ashby is a Zumba teacher from Skipton, known also as musician, Smashby, who performed at recent Skipton Pride events in the town.
Sam entered the Big Brother house last month alongside actor-turned-parish councillor George, 23, from Braintree.
He was left upset by comments George made during a game of truth or dare.
George listed reasons he disliked his fellow housemates. When he got to Sam, he said:
"Sam is too... urm..."
While mimicking Sam's voice and body language, mocking the way he spoke and acted around the house, including making a deliberate limp wrist.
Sam, known to many around Skipton, was seen crying and said:
"The whole George situation, I think basically I think it all just came to a bit of a head.
"And that impression - it was him doing it - mocking me as if I have some kind of disability or something, which is just like rude anyway.
"The boys laughing, it just felt like I was back in school again, I think."
Sam later wiped away tears as he mentioned feeling "isolated" in the situation.
George has since been removed from the house after further offensive comments were aired in Monday's episode.
Sam remains in the Big Brother house, with many of the other contestants coming to his defence.
