Big Brother producers are investigating how offensive and controversial social posts by housemate Trish Balusa were not flagged before she joined The Show .
Most of The Tweets in Question - which fans have criticised for using racist and homophobic Language - were posted More Than 10 Years ago.
In a statement on X, formerly Twitter, she apologised, saying she was " deeply disappointed, embarrassed and ashamed".
The 33-year-old from Luton was evicted from the ITV2 show on Friday.
It was only after she left that the old posts came to light. It looks like her former account has been deleted, with The Apology posted from a new account in her name.
Bbc News is choosing not to repeat the Language contained in some of the historic posts.
A spokesperson for the production company behind Big Brother , Initial TV, said: " This weekend we have been made aware of concerning historical tweets.
" 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. "
A planned appearance by Trish on spin-off Big Brother : Late & Live, hosted by AJ Ododu and Will Best , will not go ahead, a production source said. Contestants who have been evicted usually appear on the lively evening debate show.
Trish is said to be being supported as part of the programme's welfare measures for contestants.
In her apology, Trish wrote: " 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.
" I have come a very long way since by educating myself and being educated by others on the impact and harm these views cause. "
She asked fans to give her grace and " believe that people can change".
