Big Brother’s Anamelia Silva has claimed Ellis Hillon and Lewis Gregory became intimate during their time in the house.

Ellis had a remarkably short stint in the house after being axed after a mere 19 hours, following an investigation into racist tweets she’d written in 2014.

Anamelia, who became the first contestant to be evicted, has since claimed housemates Ellis and Lewis didn’t waste any time during her brief stay.

Speaking to The Sun Online, Anamelia said: ‘I was told she and Lewis were doing some things under the covers…’

Ellis recently spoke out following the her removal from the house, expressing how she was ‘deeply ashamed’ of the tweets.

‘I want to stress how sorry I am about any offence and upset that was caused due to what I have said on social media.

‘All the comments were from my teenage years and I am deeply ashamed of them. I didn’t stop to think how they could be so hurtful at the time.’

Fans had discovered the tweets after she entered the Big Brother house, with one from September 2014, reading: ‘Oh fuck aye its 9/11!! RIP to everyone who died n fuck they smelly p**I terrorist bastards.’

Ellis was confronted with the tweets in the house after being summoned into the diary room, where Big Brother handed her a piece of paper with the tweets.

Asked if she’d written the messages, Ellis said: ‘Yeah I did, years ago… but yeah.’

Big Brother replied: ‘Big Brother does not tolerate offensive language. As a result we will be removing you immediately.’

Asked if she wanted to say anything, Ellis said: ‘No. Apart from that I’m sorry. I don’t want to see anyone. I just want to go home.’
