Tila Tequila was kicked out of the Celebrity Big Brother house after just one day but will still receive her full £100,000 fee.

It was discovered that the US reality star, 34, had made comments sympathising with Adolf Hitler which caused an immediate backlash and led to her being kicked out by Channel 5 bosses.

However, it's now been reported that despite her racist views, Tila - born Thien Thanh Thi Nguyen - didn't 'technically break any rules' of her appearance contract.

It was thought originally that Tila may have to return the sum but according to the Daily Star a 'contractual loophole' means she will keep the cash.

A source told the paper: "Channel 5 has tried to get the money back but can't because on paper it's her money. Technically she didn't break any rules in the house, so she hasn't voided her contract."

It's a disappointment for the Jewish watchdog Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, who exposed the star in the first place.

A spokesman said: "It is unfortunate if Channel Five now has to pay a Hitler sympathiser a large sum under the terms of her contract.

"This should be a lesson to producers who make the mistake of casting an anti-semite in their programmes."

The controversial American star, known for her reality series A Shot at Love , posted the image of herself standing in front of Auschwitz back in December 2013, holding a gun and wearing a Nazi armband and hat.

She then continued to spark controversy with further anti-semitic rants and claimed to be Adolf Hitler reincarnated.

Tila also called Hitler “a brilliant artist” who was “ahead of his time” and then said she has “the same hopes and dreams as Hitler”.

Tila spoke out about her regrets saying: "I have made many mistakes that I am definitely not proud about, but I am only a flawed human who is trying my best to be a better person than I was in the past."

Channel 5 at the time released a statement claiming they did not know of her past, which read: "Unfortunately, Channel 5 and Endemol did not know about the views and attitudes Tila had expressed in social media postings prior to her involvement in Celebrity Big Brother.

"When they were brought to our attention, she was called to the Diary Room for a discussion with producers and was subsequently removed from the house.

"The views Tila had expressed, and permitted to remain uncorrected, are totally unacceptable and, accordingly, her continued involvement in the programme was untenable.”

Reps for Tila Tequila have been contacted and Channel 5 declined to comment.
