Luke Valentine has been removed from the Big Brother house after saying the n-word in shocking scenes.<\/p>\n
Shortly after the competition kicked off for season 25, it was thrown into chaos in the early hours of Wednesday morning when the 30-year-old had a conversation with co-stars Jared Fields, Cory Wurtenberger and Goueli.<\/p>\n
In the footage, which has been shared across social media, Valentine said the n-word, before laughing the incident off \u2013 leaving viewers furious.<\/p>\n
CBS confirmed news of his exit in a statement to Metro.co.uk<\/strong>, with his absence set to be addressed in tonight\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n \u2018Luke violated the Big Brother code of conduct and there is zero tolerance in the house for using a racial slur,\u2019 the statement read.<\/p>\n \u2018He has been removed from the house. His departure will be addressed in Thursday night\u2019s show.\u2019<\/p>\n It is not clear whether Valentine\u2019s housemates have been made aware of the slur, or whether he will be replaced in the house.<\/p>\n The livestream footage aired earlier this morning, showing the moment the former contestant had a bizarre conversation with his co-stars.<\/p>\n \u2018We were in the f**king cheese room, n****,\u2019 he said before quickly correcting himself, laughing: \u2018Dude\u2026<\/p>\n \u2018Anyways, we were in the f**king cheese room.\u2019<\/p>\n A baffled castmate replied: \u2018Yo, you\u2019re off the f**king ledge,\u2019 as others urged him to go to sleep.<\/p>\n Attempting to clarify his comment, he added: \u2018It wasn\u2019t what you thought. I was going to call him a narwhal.\u2019<\/p>\n Those watching the livestream were shocked by Valentine\u2019s actions, and quickly took to Twitter to discuss the scenes.<\/p>\n Many called for the star to be eliminated from the series, pleading with CBS to take action.<\/p>\n One said: \u2018This shouldn\u2019t even be up for debate, Luke should be immediately expelled for saying that & the fact he was able to stay there over night is ridiculous! #bb25 [sic].\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019m really not going to focus on anything else until Luke gets expelled. Period,\u2019 a Twitter user fumed. \u2018He laughed off saying the n word and does not seem remorseful at all about it.<\/p>\n \u2018Get him out so we can focus back on the game. #bb25.\u2019<\/p>\n A follower added: \u2018Expel Luke Now his behavior is unacceptable every season this happens there has to be consequences. #BB25.\u2019<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/metro-parent\/img\/fallback.png\")
