The Big Brother housemates were left emotional when they were told that Lewis Flanagan was removed for the house.
Lewis F was removed from the house after making a remark reportedly about Auschwitz
On Friday, Lewis was ejected from the Elstree compound after using inappropriate language, although bosses insisted the incident would never make it to air.
In a preview for Sunday nights episode, the remaining housemates were seated in the dining area as Big Brother made the announcement.
This is Big Brother. Housemates Lewis has been removed from the Big Brother house and will not be returning, the voice said.
Cameron immediately began to cry as the housemates struggled with the news and were overwhelmed with shock.
Shortly, Big Brother will place his suitcases in the storeroom. Will one housemate ensure that all of Lewis stuff are packed and placed in the storeroom, Big Brother continued.

Cameron and Brooke were embraced by fellow housemates being the closest to Lewis F as the others muttered a chorus of oh my god, wow, and I cant believe that just happened.
I just want to see him, Cameron wept in the preview clip.
According to The Sun, a Big Brother insider claimed the comment was a slip of the tongue.
They said: Lewis was talking to Cameron and told him, “When we get out of here, well sort you out with some Auschwitz.”
He said he was supposed to say outfits. Hes told people it was a slip of the tongue and he didnt know why he said it.
Big Brother will air the moment Lewis left the house, and he has since apologised for his words, but insisted he wasnt ashamed.
He said: I would say Im devastated. I didnt mean to offend anyone, it was a slip of the tongue. I never once tried to offend anyone or hurt anyones feelings. Its unacceptable.
He continued: Im not ashamed of myself because I didnt try to offend anyone, it was just a slip of the tongue.
Unfortunately for me my bad language and misuse of certain phrases and certain words has exploded in my face. I would apologise to anyone who Ive upset.
