Departure:\u00a0The shocking historic tweets refer to minority groups and make homophobic, racist and ableist comments<\/p>\n
Trish broke her silence after the scandal on Sunday morning, posting an apology statement to her social media feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ex housemate said:\u00a0‘I’m aware that some very concerning old tweets of mine have re-surfaced, and I would like to sincerely apologise for the harmful stereotypes I perpetuated and the pain I have caused to the marginalised communities and groups of people mentioned.<\/p>\n
‘There are no excuses for the ignorance that I showed and I am deeply disappointed, embarrassed and ashamed that I once made such comments. I have come a very long way since by educating myself and being educated by others on the impact and harm those views cause.’<\/p>\n
The comments were especially impactful to viewers as Trish accused the other housemates of micro-aggressions during her time in the house.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
She added in the statement: ‘It is part of the reason why I am so passionate about standing up for others and holding myself to a high standard of responsibility and accountability for my actions.<\/p>\n
‘I appreciate the support you’ve all given me on the show and I understand you feel disappointed. I know apologies can seem convenient but I mean it from the bottom of my heart: I am truly sorry. I hope it is possible for you to offer me grace and believe people can change.<\/p>\n
‘I am committed to being the person I am now, the person you have known my as \u2013 someone who speaks up, stands for what they believe in and always open to growth and accountability.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The posts from 2012 were only discovered following Trish’s exit as during their time in the house all contestants set their social media profiles to private.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since leaving, Trish has been active on social media, meaning the tweets were uncovered by fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wrote following her exit: ‘Going on big brother was actually one of the best decisions I’ve made. That experience has taught me soooo much.’<\/p>\n
Her original Twitter account has since been deleted – although the statement has now popped up under another username as has been posted to her Instagram profile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the tweets were uncovered, one Big Brother viewer wrote: ‘I’ve just seen the Trish tweets that have come to light. We all rooted for her…’<\/p>\n
Another said: ‘That was a rollercoaster of a night, first trish got applause, then she got BRUTALLY evicted, then not even 5 hours later she got cancelled for racist, homophobic and ableist tweets.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Regarding their decision to pull Trish from the show, ITV said: ‘This weekend, we have been made aware of concerning historical tweets.<\/p>\n
‘We are currently looking into why they were not identified by the independent supplier we engage to review the digital footprint of potential Housemates as part of our pre-checks.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking on Late & Live following her eviction, she said: ‘I’m still a bit shocked. At the same time, there was a part of me that thought, this is my third nomination.’<\/p>\n
Trish also spoke about some of the disagreements she had in the house, particularly with the group of Chanelle, Jenkin, Tom and Olivia.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Full statement: Trish has since apologised for her past tweets in a lengthy statement, saying she is ‘always open to growth and accountability’<\/p>\n
She said: ‘I felt there was a lot of micro-aggression, judgement. It was quite constant. Before Chanelle, it was someone else.<\/p>\n
Asked if she ever expected an apology from Chanelle after the disagreements they had, Trish said:\u00a0‘I started to understand that with Chanelle, Tom and Jenkin, they had lost so many people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘When I spoke to Olivia, she was so sincere, there was a lot of reflection. With Chanelle it was like mmm, no. I’m not really feeling the sincerity.’<\/p>\n
