‘Big Brother’s Anamelia Silva claims Ellis Hillon and Lewis Gregory got intimate during Ellis’ short stint in the house.
Ellis was axed from the show after just 19 hours earlier this month when racist tweets she had written in 2014 were unearthed and Anamelia – who became the first contestant to be evicted on Friday (21.09.18) – claims Ellis had time for some romance before she was ousted.
When asked what housemates were told after Ellis left, Anamelia told The Sun Online: "I was told she and Lewis were doing some things under the covers."
Meanwhile, Ellis issued a statement declaring she is "deeply ashamed" of her behaviour after she was kicked out following the emergence of her offensive tweets.
In a statement, she said: "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.
"I understand that I was totally in the wrong and I should never have said such horrible things.
"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.
"I am totally heartbroken at the fact that my dream of going on Big Brother has ended this way and I wasn’t able to show people the ‘real me’.
"If I had been given the chance I would have shown everyone that I’m not racist. I was getting on very well and interacting with the other housemates from different backgrounds and I want people to know that I’m not a bad person. I hope people can forgive me."
A spokesman for ‘Big Brother’ said: "As a result of our investigation into offensive and unacceptable posts on social media, Ellis Hillon has been removed from the Big Brother house."
Before being axed, Ellis was summoned to the Diary Room where she was handed a piece of paper with the tweets on and asked if she had sent the messages.
She said: "Yeah I did, years ago … but yeah."
Big Brother then said: "Big Brother does not tolerate offensive language. As a result we will be removing you immediately."
When asked if she had anything to say, she replied: "No. Apart from that I’m sorry. I don’t want to see anyone. I just want to go home."
