Tila Tequlia has addressed the controversy surrounding her exit from the Celebrity Big Brother house after just one day.
The American reality star was given no choice but to leave the show after she faced an angry backlash for posing in a Nazi uniform in front of a concentration camp. She also went on to claim that Hitler wasn't a "bad person".
After being ejected from the house the 33-year-old took to Twitter to explain herself.
In a statement Channel 5 said: “Unfortunately, Channel 5 and Endemol did not know about the views and attitudes Tila had expressed in social media postings prior to her involvement in Celebrity Big Brother. When they were brought to our attention, she was called to the Diary Room for a discussion with producers and was subsequently removed from the house."
They went on to clarify; "The views Tila had expressed, and permitted to remain uncorrected, are totally unacceptable and, accordingly, her continued involvement in the programme was untenable."
Tila had posted this picture on social media.
And wrote a blog titled 'Why I sympathise with Hitler Part 1,' where she made the claim she was Adolf Hitler reincarnated.
"He was not a bad person as they have painted him out to be. Not even close!!!
"Hitler was a good man and it takes some f*g balls for someone to say this out loud in this day and age, especially for a public figure like myself," she wrote.
She has been condemned publicly in light of these statements and it will remain to see if the public accept her apology.
