Luke Valentine was kicked out of Big Brother after using the n-word in horrific moments.
The season 25 competition was thrown into pandemonium in the early hours of Wednesday morning when the 30-year-old had a talk with co-stars Jared Fields, Cory Wurtenberger, and Goueli.
Valentine shouted the n-word in the video, which has now gone viral, before laughing it off, leaving viewers outraged.
CBS announced his departure in a statement, and his absence will be addressed in tonight’s show.
‘Luke violated the Big Brother code of conduct and there is zero tolerance in the house for using a racial slur,’ the statement read.
‘He has been removed from the house. His departure will be addressed in Thursday night’s show.’
It is unclear whether Valentine’s roommates have been informed of the insult or whether he will be replaced.
The livestream clip, which broadcast earlier this morning, showed the former contender having an odd chat with his co-stars.
‘We were in the f**king cheese room, n****,’ he said before quickly correcting himself, laughing: ‘Dude…
‘Anyways, we were in the f**king cheese room.’
A baffled castmate replied: ‘Yo, you’re off the f**king ledge,’ as others urged him to go to sleep.
Attempting to clarify his comment, he added: ‘It wasn’t what you thought. I was going to call him a narwhal.’
Those watching the broadcast were taken aback by Valentine’s antics and turned to Twitter to debate them.
Many others demanded that the celebrity be fired from the show, asking with CBS to act.
One said: ‘This shouldn’t 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].’

‘I’m really not going to focus on anything else until Luke gets expelled. Period,’ a Twitter user fumed. ‘He laughed off saying the n word and does not seem remorseful at all about it.
‘Get him out so we can focus back on the game. #bb25.’
A follower added: ‘Expel Luke Now his behavior is unacceptable every season this happens there has to be consequences. #BB25.’
