Big Brother have savaged Andrew Tate for the 'false reasons' he has given for his removal from the house.

The Channel 5 reality show has issued a statement over the kickboxer's claims he was removed from the house due to his 'new master plan'.

"Channel 5 and Big Brother have become aware that Andrew Tate has posted a statement on Facebook about the circumstances of his departure from the Big Brother House," the statement read.

"What Andrew says in that statement is completely false. Andrew was not removed because of his actions inside the House.

"Nor was he removed for tweets allegedly posted by him prior to his entering the House. Andrew was removed because of information which came to light today."

The four time world champion kickboxer - who entered The Others house on launch night - was removed from the house earlier today after Channel 5 became aware of 'information' that made his place in the house untenable, however Andrew has no claimed that is not the case.

In a video posted to his Facebook page, he said: "I'm no longer in the Big Brother house, I'm afraid. I had a new plan that I wanted to do which was much better than calling them all snakes.

"I had an amazing master plan and the producers of the show were worried that if i did such an amazing plan and got caught that it was going to kick off in a big way."

He went on to claim that Marco Pierre White Jr, Chelsea Singh and Jackson Blyton had all threatened to hit him and Big Brother producers had begged him not to hit them back because he would 'destroy them'.

Andrew added that the reason he was not in the house was down to this potential confrontation.

However, a statement from Big Brother read: "Due to information Channel 5 and Big Brother became aware of today, Andrew Tate has been removed from the Big Brother House."

It was previously claimed that Andrew was facing removal from the house after homophobic and racist tweets he made became public.

In 2012, the housemate sent abusive messaged to Cheryl Fernandez-Versini over her marriage to footballer Ashley Cole.

He tweeted: "Cheryl Cole is a massive w*g socket."

Shortly afterwards, he followed it up with another message reading: "@ChiaraRomano89 Chiara Romano and Cheryl Cole are both massive w*g sockets."

"The racist lady on the train is right."

He also appears to hold concerning homophobic viewers which he was more than happy to share on Twitter.

Meanwhile, Andrew's brother Tristan has come forward to defend the housemate, by revealing their father was black.

He then sarcastically added: "Andrew is well aware he won't win. He knows it's public vote and knows the public won't like him. Don't get it wrong. BBUK BigBrother.

"#Bbandew exposed. He tweeted a black joke in 2012 hes racist. We both are. Google our dad "Emory Tate" he was a Klan member. #bbuk #rip #kkk."

The tweets were then shared on Andrew's own account.

A Big Brother spokesperson said: "Big Brother does not condone any kind of racist or homophobic behaviour in the House. If offensive comments of that sort are made in the house, Big Brother will deal with them appropriately, in accordance with its long-standing protocols."
