After just one night on the show, Tila Tequila has been thrown out of the Celebrity Big Brother house.

It's after complaints that she'd posed in a Nazi uniform in front of a concentration camp.

The 33-year-old posted a mocked up picture of herself in front of Auschwitz in December 2013 holding a gun and wearing a Nazi armband and hat.

The American glamour model also claimed to be Adolf Hitler reincarnated.

She called him "a brilliant artist" who was "ahead of his time" and added that she had "the same hopes and dreams as Hitler".

Channel 5 says neither they, nor the show's production company Endemol had been aware of her views.

A spokesman said: "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.

"The views Tila had expressed, and permitted to remain uncorrected, are totally unacceptable and, accordingly, her continued involvement in the programme was untenable."

Campaigners had started a petition to get her removed from the show.

Jonathan Sacerdoti, Director of Communications at the Campaign Against Antisemitism said: "The British public has little time for attention seeking Nazi sympathisers like "Tila Tequila".

The adult entertainer, real name Thien Thanh Thi Nguyen, became a star on MySpace, after appearing in Playboy Magazine.

She was later given her own reality series A Shot At Love.
